SomethingIsFishy Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks!!! Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 What's cool about the stand I bought for the living room is that it has an open bottom. That means I can look up from underneath and spy on all the sand sifting critters in the tank! Never thought looking up at the bottom of a tank could be fun... ? Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Picked up a green mushroom and two ricordia... ?? Pics later... I promise... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 New rics! Check out all the new heads on the zoas to the left of the rics!! Mushroom! Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 And a shot of the Xenia I bought a few weeks ago... Clown photobomb!! Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Tank is doing pretty well... Lost some zoas, some others closed up. Dialed the lights back a little and most of the closed up ones are fully open again... Will try to grab some pics in the next day or two... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Found a few relatively new pics on my phone... Link to comment

SomethingIsFishy Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 DISASTER!!! Came home to an empty tank! Fish were flopping around in a few puddles of water in the bottom of the tank... Was able to take the fish and a lot of the coral back to the fish store. They will hold them for me until I figure out what to do... All this after delivering our first child seven weeks early on Tuesday evening... I am overwhelmed... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Not sure yet... Haven't had a chance to give the tank a full inspection... Link to comment
Butchy21 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Oh man, sorry to hear that! The tank was looking great. Hopefully you are up and running shortly- that baby will need something to stare at, ha. Link to comment
Arce Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Ah man bad luck! Hope everything's ok! Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Having a hard time trying to motivate myself to put this tank back together... Cleaned and tested the powerheads, still good. Same with the hob filter. Petco's $1/gal starts tomorrow, 40b=$40. Still not excited... But I have fish and coral at the lfs... I dunno... Oh, on a more positive note... Our son is doing very well!! I am totally excited about that!! Link to comment
rturiak Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 What happened to the tank? Did it crack? Filter fail? Was the tank level on the stand? Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Whatever happened happened at the bottom of the tank. Seam split or crack I'm not sure, the tank is still sitting on my patio with the aragonite still in it. I have a feeling the stand was a little off... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Stand has adjustable feet, did my best to level it, thought it was good. I am thinking one corner may have settled just enough to pop a seam... Never noticed a change in water level though... Tank was about 14 years old, got one of those kits from Wally world when I graduated from high school. Stand was brand new... Link to comment
rturiak Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am sorry to hear that man, your tank was looking so beautiful too. You outta buy a new fresh tank when petco has the sale and keep the reef growing. Your kid will love watching the fish when they get a little older and it gives you time to get things off your head at the end of the day. Do you have any info on the petco sale? I tried searching but didnt see much Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Got an email from petco on Thursday about the sale. My gut says "get the tank, you'll regret it later if you don't", but my head says "not excited". Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well... My gut won out. Got the tank... Now I need to get motivated to set it up... Link to comment
rturiak Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I love a 40B tank. Glad you got it!! I cant wait to see updated pictures. Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Might be a while... Got a lot going on right now... But at least I have the tank... Link to comment
