diggman08 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 ok , because my Furan 2 hasnt come in yet and i dont have time to wait, i diipped all my zoas today with Seachem reef dip.. as i was investigating, the little white dot on the zoas POPP like zits...ehhh.. is this zoa pox or some other disease?? i dont think the dragon eyes are gonna make it,, im really bummmed out. they were my favs.. the others seem to be recovering so/so. The only good news is my Sunpod and fans should be getting here this week sometime... not like i have anything to look at nemore though...lol o and Happy Labor DAY !! ( i had to work) Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hey bud....just catching up on the thread after being offline for a bit Sorry to hear about the zoas continuing to head downhill. The same thing happened to a frag that I got from Nano-Paul although it wasn't from disease. They just slowly fizzled out....kinda sad to see honestly. Don't get too down about it though....I'm sure once the furan gets there and you dip them, they will be well on their way to recovery. Congrats on the fans....as I said, they are a little on the loud side but man do they push some air and keep things nice and cool. I barely even notice them anymore and my tank sits right by my tv in the living room. So when is the light coming in? Just wait til you put it on there...you won't say you don't have anything to look at then Are you going to try any SPS? If so, I know of a couple people on here that will hook you up with some nice starter SPS that are pest free and 100% aquacultured (best chance of survival). Link to comment
diggman08 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 yeah i might.. my tank is right by my bed.. but im only gonna run the aquatecks at day for like 5 hours. they should be here tomorow i hope.. i sold my 4.36 hood to a member on here.. great deal IMO o and i placed yet another order with zoanuts LAst night.. woohooo.. theyll be here wensday morning.. PALYTHOAS!! i think im gonna stick with Palys from now on instead of zoas... i here cant catch the pox.. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Furan 2 came in today, will be doing treaments, ill keep the day by day results posted Link to comment
diggman08 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Results of day 1 treatment: almost all white dot are gone, some polyps opening slightly, but still majority closed up.. i will repeat treat ment again today.. i went ahead and treated all the zoas in my tank just in case, they are recovering ok.. O and My zoanuts order came in today on schedule... packaging was perfection as always... lots of extra polyps and FREEBIE MONTIPORA!! ill have pics up when they open Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Sounds like you are well on your way of getting things taken care of with the Furan 2. Keep up the good work. Any news on when you're getting the Sunpod in? Congrats on your first SPS!!! Once you get that light on there, you WILL be hooked. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 haha.. i know i will be hooked, it looks cool just under PC's im gonna take it off the plug eventually, Dustin said with good light and flow it wil spread over your rock work... IT was free shipping so they must have used the slowest service you can possibly get ..lol.. it better be here by the end of the week Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Awesome...can't wait to see it with the new light. Did you get a tracking number from them or something saying it shipped? I remember getting a tracking number from them once it shipped. I'm excited for you I do remember their shipping taking a little while though since I think they're in Cali or Washington state.

diggman08 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 me too, im ready.. yeah it says in transit to Mississippi.. do you have a piece of glass going across your tank to reduce evap?? i wonder if ill be able to put sunpod lights and aquatek fans on my coralife dual timer..? Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Cool...sounds like it's making its way to you. No, I don't have anything over my tank. Although I'm still a little leery that someday the clowns will get adventurous, I just think it looks better open. You will definitely be able to put them on the coralife timer. I have my fans and lights on there right now Link to comment

John30507 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I like the way it looks! I am not a big fan of the topless look though. I have lots of air bubbles floating around. Would a sunpod make them even more visible? Link to comment
Obi Juan kenobi Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Congrats on your sunpod Digg. It looks awsome!!!! Link to comment
noobwithatank Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 because of dive and yourself. haha my unused 4x36 upgrade is forsale on my local fish forum and ill be getting the sunpod, when ever they go on sale. hah. way to go. Link to comment
Obi Juan kenobi Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Dont worry Noob I'm probably goin next!!!! Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 If you guys would have gone straight with the sunpod you could have saved me some $$$$ j/k Looks like I might have a new upgrade to do!! How much can you get for a lid with 4.36 upgrade?? Maybe I should get the sunpod and just keep the stock lid for an unexpected emergency? Link to comment
