BibleSue Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 VERY sweet! Heading past me? Up to Maine again perhaps?? I likey free shipping! That's the plan. The bay is calling me & I think there is a lobster or 6 with my name on them. One of our sons is in Rhode Island & we may pick him up on the way. If my sister-in-law doesn't come, we may stop in Newark to see her. Link to comment
BibleSue Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Back to the drawing board-again! I can't get the lights as high as I thought & the 250W is putting out too much heat! I turned it off when the water was 81.9. I just left the 150 on. We can raise it another 1 1/2" but I don't think that will be enough. I also have to decide what to do about the skimmer. The HOB (or should I say HOF since it is in the front ATM) I got used & it leaks a bit around the fitting. Also there is salt creep around the seams. I was getting the skimmer from Louie3 because he said it would fit in the first compartment. Now I have to decide if I want to reconfigure the sump/fuge, get a new skimmer or use the leaky one I have. Please excuse the cords. Everything is still temporary. Sump/fuge in the left, prop tank in the middle & QT tank on the right. Link to comment
BibleSue Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Those wires intimidate me! Me too! When I get everything where it will end up, I will deal with them. Hubby is going to enclose the left half of the counter & put shelves in for storage. That will help hide them, too. Link to comment

BibleSue Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Wow, looks like you cooking now! That's my problem! My corals almost got cooked. Good thing I kept an eye on things all day! I may just sell the 250W & get another 150W. One light was not quite enough for that long of a tank. Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Here's a preview of the next frag offerings from the Coral Kitchen. These are the frags we made in this thread on fragging Acans: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...t=0&start=0 Link to comment
BibleSue Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Nice. Thanks! I have to make some room for the new stuff I got in. Some of it is far enough back that it is hard to feed. Link to comment
varanus37 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Will definitely be watching for the next menu to come from the kitchen. Bill Link to comment
BibleSue Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 You know to ask when you get ready for stuff! You don't have to wait for a sale. Link to comment
The Propagator Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Have you tried a clip on fans blowing from under the range hood ( or even simply turning on the fan in the range hood ?) Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 LOL, That was my first thought too Prop! Hmmm, did she try running the hood fan?? Nice work on the Acan frags ladies, they look great! Susan that's my kind of apartment kitchen! And I thought HOF was pretty funny too, but try not to say Hof with Lisa around, OK? Link to comment

BibleSue Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Have you tried a clip on fans blowing from under the range hood ( or even simply turning on the fan in the range hood ?) I did try the fan on the hood. It helped a little. I brought it down to 80.9. Today, I only turned on the 150W while at church & Weetie's for her late birthday party. When I got home it was 80.0 in the tank. The light turned off soon after that & I turned on the 250W for a couple of hours. Alone, it was 80.2 Hubby raised it (the mounting for both lights) 1 1/2 in. tonight so I will see what it does tomorrow. We have clip on fans to use but I don't have an ATO so it will be a problem when we are in Maine for 2 weeks. I cover the tops of my tanks with plastic wrap to keep down the evaporation. Weetie will come over to feed & do WC/top off mid-way through the vacation. In that case, I don't think the fans will do much good. Link to comment
BibleSue Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Old Prop tank is transferred & transformed. I just got back from my daughter & son-in-law's house. Their family has now joined the ranks of rock-gazers. My daughter has wanted a reef tank since working at a LFS in Hollywood, FL. Because she has 4 kids 5 1/2 & under she was just going to do a FOWLR for now. Guess what! I am letting her use my Secret Santa rock with palys on it since she needed more rock & it won't fit in my display tank ATM. Today after church she got these. plus a cool shaped LR. The rest of what she needs she is going to order form Sea Life. The baby loves the tank as do the rest of the kids. Link to comment
