nanoreef11 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 looking good as always Thanks plainrt. I looked at the website and can't see myself spending $100 right now on corals since I will be moving soon. How does the free shipping work. If you win an item, I'm guessing they ship it with another won item? Link to comment
jdantunes Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks plainrt. I looked at the website and can't see myself spending $100 right now on corals since I will be moving soon. How does the free shipping work. If you win an item, I'm guessing they ship it with another won item? OK, can I know what are you guys talking about? Anyways, Jon....My man your tank is looking very sweet...Your duncans are doing the trick! Also, I think your tank looks similar to a tank I know... Yeah! I know which tread you're following... I wish you all the luck with the move, also I wish I could help you but you're kind of far. Smart move in not buying anything else 4 now, save it 4 later. Move first, set your reef up again, once everything is stable, invite some chicks to check it out! JaJa... Works like a charm... Well Jon, I'll be in touch, gotta go and brush some pool walls under 98 degree weather, gosh LIFE IS GOOD!!! CYBERSPACE HIGH FIVE!!! Link to comment

Well Jon, I'll be in touch, gotta go and brush some pool walls under 98 degree weather, gosh LIFE IS GOOD!!! CYBERSPACE HIGH FIVE!!! You don't know what hot weather is. Last week it was 108 here. This week is cool at 96. Then again I bet it feels hotter outside because you live in Florida. Thanks for the compliments on my tank. I am going to be moving everything on a Sunday and coming back to move my tank on Thursday. Just want to focus on the tank alone that day. Hope it goes smooth. Buckets or bags for the livestock?

jdantunes Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hey, Jon Just wondering, how was your moving day? It's everything OK? Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I just finished setting up my computer at my new place and was going to check my page. Thanks for checking in jdantunes. I am all settled in at my new place and just have a couple more boxes to go through. They are just books and stuff for school. I have been spending my days at the beach and I love it! Anyways for the tank it doesn't get moved until Thursday. I plan on putting the fish and corals in a bucket with a battery powered airstone. The live rock and rest of the water will go in other buckets. Sand will stay in the tank when it is being moved. Hopefully my plan works and everything goes smoothly. A little bit of an update here. Tomorrow I go to pick up my custom stand. It is a 14 gallon biocube stand but instead of the standard 30 inches, it will be 36 inches. Me being 6'3" I like my tanks a little bit higher. Easier to view. I already have a spot picked out for it and it should be enjoyed by people passing my room. Any advice on moving my tank is welcomed. I hope everything survives. Until then Happy Reefing Jon Link to comment
jdantunes Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hey man! Any updates? Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hey I know I have been slacking on here, like always. I got the tank moved, set up on the new stand, and everything is running great. My second diamond goby was looking skinny and I was trying to feed him more when one day he dissapeared like the old one. Strange I know. My tank needs a water change so maybe tomorrow I will take care of that and then get some pics up. Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Managed to snap a pic with my iphone today. I cleaned my tank yesterday and the corals looked really happy. Today I decided to move some things around and then they got upset. Enjoy. Happy Reefing Jon Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Some pics for tonight. I think my ricordea and duncanops are a little bit close. Should I move the duncanops? FTS Link to comment
jdantunes Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey Jon! Good news, that everybody is sound and safe, and back were they belong. I was wondering, what happen to you? That was quite a move... Answering your question, I will move it if I was you. Looks like you have plenty of space on the rock below. Unless you are saving that spot for your next frag...

nanoreef11 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey jdantunes, nice to hear from someone on hear. I move the duncanops a little bit more but they are still touching the ricordea a little bit. I have another spot for it. Hopefully I can get to it today. If not then it will have to be next week. Tested my water and the nitrates are at about 40ppm so I need to do some more water changes to bring them down. Everything in the tank looks good but I just worry about those. Other than that happy reefing, Jon Link to comment
blizzardscout2 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey Jon, your tank looks great! I am glad your move went well, I do not look forward to when I have to move someday. I really like your Duncans! I havent seen them that pinkish red before. Reese Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks for the compliment. I was wondering why everone's are green/teal in the centers? Am I doing something wrong? The polyps are fully extended, more than most peoples I see. I feed mysis about 2-3 times a week and spot feed the corals. Jon Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 A little bit of an update here. Picked up a frag from Tigahboy last week. Green and blue zoas and a free frag of eagle eyes. Really gave me a good deal on the corals. Some picks of them. I did a water change today and my hammer coral and duncanops didn't like it too much. I just tested the parameters and got the following: Calcium - 480ppm Carbonate Hardness - 8dkH Phosphate - 0ppm Nitrate - 10ppm Magnesium - 1290ppm PH - 7.9 (working on bringing it up) Salinity - 1.025 I also removed my skimmer and put StevieT's media rack back in. Skimmer wasn't pulling enough out and felt it wasn't absolutely necessary. Picks of hammer and duncanops not fully open. FTS If anyone has any suggestions on what is going on with my hammer and duncanops I would appreciate it. Happy Reefing Jon Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Hammer coral was looking better last night but the duncanops were still shrinking. My zoas and rics seem to be doing fine. I have no idea what is going on. I performed another 1.5 gallon water change last night. Salinity matched the tank. I need some help if anyone has any clue what could be going on. Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 An update on the duncanops and hammer coral. They are looking better just did a water change the next day to help them out and they ended up coming back yesterday. I hope to pick up some new zoas so stay tuned. I'm excited. Jon Link to comment
