TriggerHappyDude Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 A new reefer!!!!!!!Mom and son are doing well? Yep, we are back home after scare on Tuesday where his temp was 94, but he's doing good so far now in the 96.9 - 97.4 range, he was 4 weeks early so his body is still building up its defenses.

TriggerHappyDude Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Well lets see some pics of the new reefer and the tank! Well, there are no new pics of the tank, haven't had any time to do anything with it, but keeping it maintained, nothing new really except all these snails that constantly climb out, I'm about to have to get rid of them. Its seems its only these big ones, not sure what kind? The other night I left the glass lid off over night and woke up to find like 5 of them on the wood floors, still alive so I put them back in. They are starting to bug. As for the new reefer...here are a few pics...there are more on my Flickr link in the signature, but these were some cute ones. Meet Jack Quentin... He's #1 in our books!

johnvic Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Lone-Wolf, where did you get the actual screening material? I've seen the frame kit at HD but I prefer the netting that you are using. Link to comment

kdog1000 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hey Trigger. How is that problem with mounting the vortech on the back wall working out? I saw the plastic bag fix you did to keep it dry. Any problems yet? I'm considering that for my solana and could use some advice. By the way, how is the kiddo doing? Link to comment
TriggerHappyDude Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hey Trigger. How is that problem with mounting the vortech on the back wall working out? I saw the plastic bag fix you did to keep it dry. Any problems yet? I'm considering that for my solana and could use some advice. By the way, how is the kiddo doing? I sold the dry dock to another reefer here Oklahoma, and he doesn't like it either. He said it restricts the water flow too much. Which I agree. You can mount it in such a way that it sticks up and allows water to flow underneath it but even then its still restricting water flow too much for my liking, and risks overflowing into the box which would ruin the VorTech. I don't use the zip lock bag idea that much, as I just moved the VorTech to the right hand side of the tank for now, don't mind it there. I've been in some discussions over on RC in the Solana Tank Owner's thread, about the different ways to get the VorTech mounted on the back wall in chamber 2 or even 3 has been discussed. I am just not real comfy forcing something that wasn't meant to be mounted in there, especially when its a $400 something (VorTech MP40w). So for now its on the side and doing fine. As well as Jack Quentin, he's good! Thanks for asking. Dad is adjusting to sleep deprivation, but doing ok all things considered. He's worth it. I found it in a box of stuff in my garage must have been with some stuff I won at an auction wish I knew where to get it I have enough for a couple of more screen tops if interested let me know Lone-Wolf, so are you offering to make one of those for me and ship it at a cost? What are you using to cover the back portion of the tank there? What color is the frame kit? I think I'd like silver to go with my ATI light fixture. Link to comment
TriggerHappyDude Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Do I have Pods? I'm seeing some little white specks on my glass, some look like they have legs or tentacles very tiny things, others look like fleas or even smaller lice, all white, is this what a Pod is? How would I have gotten them? What can I do about them? Link to comment
