William Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well on of my radial filefish seems to have lost an eyeball.... :-( I have no clue how this happened, he looked fine yesterday.... He is still eating welll. What should I do? Quote Link to comment
William Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 The filefish's eyesocket has healed and he is still eating, but I was never able to find out what caused it.... Iwas able to convert my ATO into a Miricle Mud holding tank. I will most likely use it as a holding area for new fish/inverts that I am concerned about. Lastly, here are some random pictures from earlier tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment
William Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Sorry for the long hiatus. My step mother passed away, which required me to spend the majority of November and early December back in Texas. I had some wonderful friends who fed and topped off my aquarium, but 6 weeks without a water change or regular dosing definitely has hurt it. I also lost the pike blenny(not sure how). I will try to post some updates pictures once everything has setteled a bit. Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I am sorry about your step mom and you have my sympathy. I hope your tank rebounds from your hiatus and good luck with the new waspfish. Quote Link to comment

burtbollinger Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 tank looks cool can you explain how/why your BRS doser failed? was it a timer error? Quote Link to comment

Right click on the image in imgur, and select "copy image address". 2. In the NR post, click the little image icon 9in the middle of the bottom row of icons) and paste the image address into the dialog box. This probably doesn't work in the phone app, though 1 Quote Link to comment

William Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 tank looks cool can you explain how/why your BRS doser failed? was it a timer error? I plugged the BRS Doser into the wrong EB8 socket. The BRS doser uses so little power that only two of the 8 plugs could work with it correctly, I flipped my number chart around and plugged it into the wrong one and therefore the doser did not stop when the switch flipped it off.... thats the best way I can explain it 1 Quote Link to comment

The BRS dosers are super reliable but using them with the wrong Apex outlet is the one way you can end up with a disaster with them Quote Link to comment

William Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Updates: I finally put in the time today to overhaul my aquarium. I reconnected my dosing pumps (had taken them offline and was just getting by with water changes). I did a 5 gallon water change. I reconnected my apex to the internet (was just using the display to control it). I mounted some of the coral that I got at the frag swap last month (torches). and I gave the rocks a good cleaning. Everything seems to be doing well, and I plan to test the water tomorrow (haven't tested it in months). I will try and take some better pictures tomorrow night as the ones on here are poor quality. I may place an order with reefcleaners in order to replenish my CUC. https://imgur.com/gallery/kSpzrhttps://imgur.com/gallery/kSpzrhttps://i.imgur.com/Osrqp5m.jpg 4 Quote Link to comment

reefist Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Good to know. I've also been looking at the IceCap K2-50 but the little DC pump worries me. If it had a Sicce like it's larger brethren I'd buy it. I think I'm sold on the WS-1. Quote Link to comment
William Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 I have had both skimmers (and still do) and the WS-1 is by far superior 1 Quote Link to comment

J-Ranko Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 That's a cool fish. I don't think I've ever seen a waspfish before (at first I thought red dragonet). What do you feed it? Does it take frozen stuff? 1 Quote Link to comment
