Phixion Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 The AP pumps are fairly easy to clean up and out. I've accidently taken my AP12 pump apart before, lol! But it still works like a champ for my W/C's eve after running dry for about 10 minutes a few days ago, DOH! How's your params doing, V? I have room to hold things if you need, just let me know. I have a Koralia 2 pump arriving this week, so that should get my flow and turnover rate going good! I dunno what's up with So. Cali right now, but that's 4 of us it's taken down in the past week. I think I might do a 5g W/C myself tonight just for good measure, it wouldn't hurt at least. Link to comment
nanotrigger Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 did you get the zoa's in the middle tank at ptf? they have a really good deal in that tank. i got my zoa's there too. and he gave me a good price on the duncans. Link to comment

Phixion Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 did you get the zoa's in the middle tank at ptf? they have a really good deal in that tank. i got my zoa's there too. and he gave me a good price on the duncans. I got them from the tank immediately on the left when you first walk in, along the window. That's where the good zoa colony deals are at. This colony probably should have been cheaper (nothing compared the the 200+ polyp blue zoa colony I had from there for $50) but at that time on saturday I wasn't worrying too much about quantity for price... =/ Veronica, it's weird... flow can amazingly have that much affect on things... I'd totally give you a spare pump if I had one right now. Link to comment
Phixion Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Alrighty, here's an FTS of the tank as of today (5/21/07). As you can see things are bouncing back. The tank is very much empty, but the new goodies I got this weekend really help to fill it out. Slowly but surely... Link to pic full sized... Oh yes, the bottom of the glass at the sand line I left dirty just for John and Adin. Link to comment
