appak Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Stuff is moved! Will definitely have to add a bunch more LR at some point, but that can probably wait until Saturday. Oct 20, 2014: Mar 1, 2014 (before the meltdown): Link to comment
appak Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ooh, stuff! Staaaand.... byyyy meeee... Smithers, there's a rocket in my pocket! Who knew they got this big? Link to comment
Lalani Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Finally got going on the saltwater project, thank you to this site and inspiration from Lalani's build for encouraging another money pit! Mwahahaha! This is a better money pit than say... hookers and blow (though some would argue that point)! Looking forward to seeing this tank set up. Also, you can post pics in the thread if you host them through photobucket or imageshack and copy/paste the IMG code! Link to comment

Looking to get it wet this week, LR is on sale so now is the time to strike. Failing that, LR made out of blow...? Also, to the photobucketmobile! Link to comment
appak Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 water is mixed and heating up, stand is ready, hopefully tomorrow I'll get the rocks and sand... not bad for my first go at making furniture! Link to comment
appak Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 And we are wet! my current scape is "dump all the rocks into the water so they don't die". will be improving on this shortly. Link to comment
appak Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 ...i have crabs. in other news, ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: ~5ppm salinity: 1.025 temp: 80-81.5F Link to comment
Kiwi Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I like your tank….. what are you thinking to add? Link to comment
appak Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks! the current plan is soft corals and perhaps a clown... doing my absolute best to go as slowly as possible, so likely no more additions for the next couple of weeks while the snails and hermits do their thing. one of many feather dusters: nom nom nom: Link to comment
appak Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 quick update: ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: somewhere between 0 and 5ppm salinity: 1.025 temp: 80-81.5F i've noticed about 500ml of evaporation a day, not too bad i guess. Link to comment
appak Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 so, do we need a bit less flow? i'm leaning towards yes... Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I don't know...it's all open still so that means it can't be too mad. Link to comment

appak Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 been a while playing peekaboo: an (almost) new FTS... got some more polyp friends since: Link to comment
appak Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 This needs an update... but first I need to scrape the glass... In other news, thinking of retrofitting a sump/fuge. 5.5gal is probably the biggest I can get inside the stand, so the real question becomes: is it worth it? or should I just leave the AC70 to do its thing. (I think i saw a micro star in there! <3) Link to comment

appak Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 I wear my suuuunglaaaaaasses at night... Link to comment
appak Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 almost a full year later... went to Italy in august and my brother watched the fish. In that time the frogspawn fell over onto its heads and died, and the zoas got eaten or melted. Brittle stars everywhere, and a colony of dusters that are getting thick. Otherwise no worse for the wear. Picked up a nuvo 30 for cheap a few months ago, I guess this is a good time to upgrade. will be attempting to buff out some scratches and get it going fairly soon. stand is almost done, just need to cut/attach the top and paint it.. No, my basement is not done yet. Link to comment
appak Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 stand's done. leak test! Link to comment
appak Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 water cleared up overnight. i <3 sand. time to plan the transfer! Link to comment
appak Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Also, found this creepy little fellow on the glass of the 10G which is now devoid of rock (aside from what is in the AC70). Link to comment
