_l1mpan Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Love the scape man. Like Illuiix said! Great work! Im following this Link to comment
TristanC Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks guys. The anemone is being a little bit of a pain in the butt. It wants next to zero flow, I had to run it for a few days without the mp10 because it kept detaching and floating around the tank. Now I have the mp10 on the back wall with the foam cover running 15%... Its inflating and showing good color throughout the day but at night it decides to move. Link to comment
TristanC Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 The anemone has been a little less of a hassle recently, but as you can see it is much bigger than I thought. The clowns have started hosting it which is why I wanted it in the first place but I haven't decided if it will be a permanent resident yet. Im hoping to do a little coral shopping on Thursday.

TristanC Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Guys I have some really bad news.... Clowns have been acting and eating as normal, sunday I got home from work and they both had white around their mouths but still were acting normally. Yesterday morning I wake up to find both of them breathing rapidly and swimming all screwed up. Well I freaked out and started researching what it could be, did a water change and intended to set up a hospital tank. Well as of this morning both fish are dead and I am so sad and irritated by this. I have no idea what could have killed them so quick as they were extremely healthy and vibrant fish....

ninjamyst Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 sorry to hear about the clowns...sigh...i just went through my own lost with fish and it sucks. Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Damn, I'm sorry to hear that! Link to comment
TristanC Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks guys, I'm so bummed about this. I just don't see how too perfectly healthy fish would up and die over the course of two days. I maintain good water quality and they were fed good quality foods every other day, I'm baffled. Well I'm actually thinking about downsizing a little bit. My plan is to sell the reefer nano and pick up an IM10, something a little more simple. Id transfer over most of the rock and inverts (minus the nem). Im thinking mostly zoas and acans with possibly a single fish. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Noooo why are you downsizing. Link to comment
William Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Don't do it!!!! Your tank was the main reason I got one, and is so amazing ? Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Damn man that sucks to hear about your clowns Maybe the clowns had some sickness that didn't show up till you brought it back. And besides ease of maintenance, why do you want to downgrade? Sumps are much nicer than AIOs ya know... Link to comment
TristanC Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Honestly my main reason for wanting to downsize is the ease of maintenance. Not going to lie alot of this recent desire to downsize is because the damn clowns died. Link to comment
North Borders Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Give it a week and see if you feel the same way! Link to comment
William Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I feel the maintainence on the RSR nano is way easier than the PicO 3 I had a few years ago. But good luck in whatever you do Link to comment
dropped Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Dont do it!!!! keep the reefer! Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Honestly my main reason for wanting to downsize is the ease of maintenance. Not going to lie alot of this recent desire to downsize is because the damn clowns died. initially, the maintenance was annoying for my reefer. but as time goes on and i finalized my equipments, it has been very easy. keep the reefer and get more clowns =).

Lynton Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just read through whole thread and really enjoyed it until the last page.... Sorry to hear about ur clowns .... Ur nano is great, give it a few days and then decide.. I was the same when I sprung a leak in my long shallow so went out and got a 170 TBH it's the best thing I've ever bought and only been reefing just over a year.. You have a great nack and understanding of reef keeping by the looks of it and a gd eye for Aquascaping, so don't let your clown situation dictate a rash idea that u will prob regret in the long term.. #REEFERSUNITE Link to comment
TristanC Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I appreciate it guys, I really do. Ive been thinking about it over and over and I'm sorry to report that I will be downsizing. Couple reasons I'm deciding to go this route so soon into the reefers life. Im looking for something small and simple, less equipment, less complexity. I want something that I can easily move as this will be happening sometime soon. Long term plan is have the IM 10 as full as I can and let it grow out, maybe 1 fish but mostly coral and inverts. After I have moved into a larger place id like to get a bigger tank, ~50g or so. All that being said I just need to downsize a bit for the time being, so the reefer and skimmer will be up for sale. Ill be using the Kessil and mp10 for the small tank. Link to comment
timothybui Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Tristan, nicely done. I see you started up a new tank.. I sold my old PicO awhile back since I moved. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Dang, I just got caught up, I'm so sorry about the clowns! The IM10 works great for me as a low maintenance tank. Two gallons of water is all you need for a 20 percent water change. But we'll miss this tank Link to comment
OesteUno Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Sorry for the loss and beautiful set up! what is the square piece in the plumbing and the chamber above the sump? Link to comment
