Slowtwitch Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice lookin tankThanks! It's going to be boring for a couple weeks but it'll have some color soon enough Link to comment
jack1978 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Family is good. Moody teenagers aside. Fighting off a cold with hot toddies tonite. Thank God for whiskey honey and lemon. Been working too many hours around sick people. Sorry to hear about the tank woes. Hope it straightens itself out soon. Livestock doing ok? Pretty sure whiskey cures anything....maybe I'll dump a shot in the tank :^ ) Glad all is well....I'll check in and see the progress! May be precipitating out - Red Sea Coral Pro REALLY supersaturates calcium and alk. I would personally stick with the normal Red Sea (blue bucket) instead of the pro, as it has closer to NSW levels and doesn't precipitate out. I use it because it mixes so damned quick. I don't plan water changes or any of that shit, so when I need water, I pretty much need it right then, and IO takes much, much longer for the ammonia to dissipate. Ya, I think you're right.

FlowerMama Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Woodford reserve. Double oaked. Yumm. I toured the makers mark distillery a few years ago. Pretty cool place. Got to dip my hands in the fermentation vats. Yes, so did I. It was such a cute place. Hard to believe like 90% of all the whiskey is made in KY. Yeah, my husband and I toured and I wanted to open the bottle, he always said save it for a special occasion, but wouldn't let me open it when I asked. So, when I bought my house. I opened it with my parents in memory of Don. In that time, about 4 yrs later, the red wax was crunchy when I took it off, not soft like plastic/rubber. In his early work years he was a master dental technician. He hadn't worked for like 12 yrs in it, knew I needed two teeth done so he asked my dentist for the specs and went to a friend's lab, save me a lab fee, and damn it, if he didn't have folks watching over his shoulder as he was making my crowns, he made it look so easy, applying many porcelains to make them natural. Nowadays I've had them make them in the office with their little fancy machine and they never, EVER, fit right. At least I have 2 good teeth. : ). He'll always be a part of me, as you can tell.

boom1000 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice set up! I am getting all the stuff together for a 120. I bought the maxSpect Gyre xf150 myself. I read a lot of positive reviews but have yet to test them out. How are you liking them so far? Link to comment

I read a lot of positive reviews but have yet to test them out. How are you liking them so far? So far I really like them. Very unobtrusive where I placed them and they move a ton of water. Time will tell how the fish and corals will like them. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks. I played with that dumb pile of rocks for a long time before I got structures I liked.

Slowtwitch Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Diatoms growing on sand and rock. Leaving tonite for a long weekend with the kids to visit my Mom in Lake Havasu, so by the time I get back I should be able to start moving some things into this beast. Good thing too, two orders of new livestock are due to arrive by the end of next week. Link to comment
