AdriftQuasar Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Blasto I got from mvite before he left the hobby. I didn't realize what it was until recently, so I'm trying to take better care of it now. FTS #1 FTS #2 Frag fest this Sunday...new additions coming soon! Quote Link to comment

AdriftQuasar Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Went to a frag fest today, lots of new editions. Pics as soon as things are happy. I believe I have doubled my coral count. Quote Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Wow you were not kidding! I love the orange plate I have one in my 75g I feed it mysis every now and then Quote Link to comment
AdriftQuasar Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah, I need to head to my LFS to pick up some stuff to feed my tank. As it stands, all I have is cyclopeze. I want to get some phytoplankton and maybe some other stuff. That and I need some more CUC to take care of algae and some other things. I think I might have to buy a clam. Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 You got some very nice frags. Tank is looking very good. Quote Link to comment
AdriftQuasar Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks for the kind words. I still think it's time for a tank upgrade though. Quote Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Nice looking tank. I think everyone thinks of a tank upgrade. Just finish stocking this tank and then when you have the money move over items into the larger tank and use that tank as a frag tank. I love your new corals. Is that a green birds nest?

AdriftQuasar Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yes, that is a green bird's nest. Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I want that plate! Quote Link to comment
AdriftQuasar Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Maybe when it gets bigger I will trade you a frag (do you frag plates?) Not pictured is a Steve Tyree neon green toadstool. It is still mad at me. I think I should probably move it into the shade. Quote Link to comment
Kraylen Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 nice new corals man, im jealous.. I need to add new stuff to the tank! Quote Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yes, that is a green bird's nest. There is a green bird's nest at my work I am holding for myself haha Quote Link to comment
AdriftQuasar Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Man, if I worked in a reef store I would never come home with any money. It would be slave labor with the kind of debt I built up. So I have some plans in the works for improving the tank.... Overflow Glass Holes Nano overflow kit Diamond Hole Saw 3/4" Diamond hole saw for closed loop Closed-loop parts: I need 3 bulkheads (1 intake, 3 returns) then two of everything else. 3/4" Bulkhead 3/4 inch Loc-Line NPT Connector (Male Adaptor) 3/4 inch Loc-Line Wye Fitting 3/4 inch Loc-Line 3 inch Flare Nozzle Sump Return Pump Maxi Jet 1200 Closed Loop Pump Gen-X External Pump 850gph SCWD - Squid Wavemaker ATO DIY Top-it-Off Kit Premium ATO Pump *edit: I removed the lighting upgrades from the list because they are non-essential to the immediate upgrades for the tank. I have plenty of light over this tank as it is. The cost of items I will buy online is just over $300 without shipping. That 300 does not include a new 20H for me to drill, materials for the stand and canopy, or plumbing parts. This is going to be a slow process, but I'm definitely going to do things properly so I don't have to do another over haul on this tank. Edited November 13, 2008 by AdriftQuasar Quote Link to comment

I also plan to build a nice stand and a better lighting hood that can hold the T5's. I also think I might change out my bulb for a 20k gmann. Holidays are coming up, which means I will be getting more hours at work. So we'll just have to wait and see how quickly this happens. Also not appearing on this list is a new 20h which will be mercilessly drilled. I have high aspirations for this tank. It's hard not to spend my check there haha. That's why I told myself to go slow on this tank so I'm not temped to spend. It looks like you have everything planned out on the tank. I have the same ATO and it works very well. I will be tagging along for this one. Quote Link to comment
AdriftQuasar Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I added a SCWD to the list, I wouldn't mind going the OM Squirt route, but I think for my purposes the SCWD will do just fine. Quote Link to comment

AdriftQuasar Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks for stopping in, 121a. I had been thinking about hassling you for stand ideas. That and improved canopy ideas. The one I built turned out like trash. Quote Link to comment
