Tsubatsu Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Happy Monday IMG_3226 by dryland970, on Flickr Haha! I love that the goby and clown are getting territorial over your trachy. Hopefully they don't get too violent about it! Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have been upgrading the tank recently. I want to start to 2-part dosing soonish so I got one of these: IMG_3286 by dryland970, on Flickr I am not a 'computer person' (and had to run to radio shack a couple of times until I had the proper quantity of ethernet cables), but getting the controller setup made me feel like a hacker-genius.

Sk8n Reefer Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wow- nice is that an apex or apex junior- either way I am totally jealous- nice score. Interested to see what features you utilize Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wow- nice is that an apex or apex junior- either way I am totally jealous- nice score. Interested to see what features you utilize It's the apex jr. Right now the heater is the only thing really being 'controlled'. Although it is nice to be able to turn the pumps on and off with a switch. My plan is to add brs dosers for 2-part. That will still leave me with a spare aquabus port though... Link to comment

Nice- I will be hitting you up for information - I am totally intimidated by a controller for some reason. Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice- I will be hitting you up for information - I am totally intimidated by a controller for some reason. It was pretty simple for the most part, although I haven't messed with any of the more advanced programs yet. For this tank I only plan to use the apex for temp. control and dosing. I know a lot of people go through the whole 'is it worth it to get a controller', but for me the temp. alarm and wireless control were reason enough. The apex wasn't so much an investment in my aquarium, as an investment in my ability to leave said aquarium alone for a week or two at a time. Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Today is maintenance day and I finally got around to epoxying my my rock together. Please excuse how insanely awesome my new frag rack is. IMG_3301 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I do like that frag rack- who makes it? How many frags does it hold? Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I do like that frag rack- who makes it? How many frags does it hold? I got it off this guys store on ebay: here. It holds 3 frags; it's the smallest I could find that can hold more than 1. It also makes an excellent raised dance floor for the sexy shrimp to groove on. Link to comment

I like the filter sock holders he makes- that will come in handy when I build my sump? Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I just hooked up my nanobox tide! This thing is sweet, but I need to figure out another way to mount it because I'm getting a lot of light outside of the tank.

Sk8n Reefer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Very nice! Tanks looking really good man- has that trachy stop moving around ? Your pics are really clear Link to comment
Dryland Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Very nice! Tanks looking really good man- has that trachy stop moving around ? Your pics are really clear Thanks! It seems like the trachy has settled in that corner, but only time will tell. I'm going to sell the fungia in order to free up some much need space. Link to comment

Dryland Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice shot - big puffy boys Thanks dude. The one on the right was suffering from an infection near it's mouth for a long time. Yesterday I realized the wound had disappeared and now the coral looks great! It has inflated to nearly twice the size I am used to seeing it at. Link to comment

Excellent- your water quality must be really good for it to heal up like that. ?. My new Dragon scale RTN and lost half its tissue yesterday- totally bumming. No idea why- everyone else is doing really good??? It's seems to have stopped so hopefully it will regain and start to get healthy again. Water parameters still seem stable so not sure what pissed it off Link to comment

Dryland Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I want to sell the fungia and my two duncan frags. That and re-mounting some frags on the rocks should open up enough space for everything to get comfortable. They don't seem to full out attack each other, but the fungia and trachy have been at odds for some time. Link to comment
