ezcompany Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hey, eye candy is eye candy - old or new The 46 needs a HOB skimmer. It is essentially an all in one. No sump and a false back that hides a filtration compartment. I'd have to drill to add an external skimmer - which I don't want to do. I may hold off on the skimmer upgrade as I have pseudo clearance on the home front to upgrade that whole system to a bigger tank. It is the tank that I cut my reef teeth on so it has a lot of room for improvement Warner Marine is coming out with new hob skimmers so keep a look out on those My aquapod started around May of this time 2 years ago, so it kind of feels like a 2 year anniversary~~ i can't believe its only been 2 years! I've definitely learned a lot.... check out this quote i found: made in June 15 of 2006: "added an sps today. first sps~ pray it does well. some sort of acro..." haha so nostalgic.... i forgot i actually named my first b/w clam "Nero"....lol i believe this was my oregon tort.... and after a few transfers, moves, and tank crashes, Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thank you, what system do you have now? I've still got my pretty much stock ap24 (link in sig), I'm getting a job over the summer (I'm 14) so i should get enough $$$$ saved for a sunpod. Link to comment

Received the Aquascene (Icefire) echinata and grafted simplex today, tiny frags but well worth the price. pics to come later hopefully! Link to comment

ezcompany Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I came home to a power outage on my tank alone, wondered why, saw a hole through my mesh netting, and my Lineatus dried up next to the power outlets with water everywhere. i'm through with fish... Link to comment
c est ma Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 It broke a hole in the netting?! Wow! Sorry! --Diane Link to comment
j'field Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 It must have gotta shock out of it wit! Link to comment
Kii Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 the little wrasse almost had a successful kamikaze mission on your tank? look on the bright side ez at least your tank didnt crash and also your tank is still sexy as hell Link to comment
brshriver Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Wow. What rotten luck! Did a GFCI circuit trip or did it splash that much water on the cords? I think something has happened to all of my wrasses - 1 six line died during a power failure. The replacement six line hardwood surfed. A carpenter wrasse jumped into the overflow and I could not catch him. He finally jumped back, recovered well and then disappeared - presumably on the floor behind the tank where I can't get to. I am not done with fish but I think I am done with wrasses Link to comment
ezcompany Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 thanks for the condolences guys and girls... brshiver: the fish tripped the gfci. at least your sixline was you know, on the cheaper side the stupid lineatus cost a grip T_T Link to comment

Still way short of a lineatus. I am still itching to try an Achilles Tang. The LFS is supposed to get some in this week. They'll be my achilles heel Glad to hear you had the GFCI. Link to comment

PodRod Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hey EZ, So sorry to hear of the loss - that's a real bummer. Your tank looks great as always. I've always followed your threads since I had two APs and now a Solana. You're a great source of inspiration! Quick question - I noticed your not using the flexible tubing on the return. Is it closed off and rerouted or simply returning with no nozzle? The reason I ask is because I want to close mine off since I need that space for a monti cap that is growing quickly. I thought I would reroute the return so I'm looking for ideas/suggestions on the best way to close off the hole in the bulkhead and to reroute the return. Any suggestions? Link to comment
