JBM Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 it was a shameless ploy to get free beer! Hmm, wasn't it you who offered to catch my coral beauty earlier? PS: I posted new pics today! (shameless attempt to direct you to my thread) i decided over night (while sleeping) that it isnt worth the agrivation & i'll keep the tank as is. I'll take the clowns out when i move.

ap123 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 LOL, come into the city, I'll offer beer. I think it makes sense to wait until you move to take the clowns out. Less stress on whatever you wind up adding--not to mention you. Link to comment
JBM Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Armor of god's sprouted 2 new baby polyps. I'm still suprized that my nuclear greens haven't made any new baby's yet. Frog spawn is lookin good. Mental note: W/c due friday/saturday (clean fluval aswell) Link to comment
JBM Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ok, so should I stay with the 14k pheonix bulb? Or go with something blue-er? Link to comment
JBM Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 So a 20k? I think I still have the 20k coralife bulb lying around somewhere. I'll swap that in over the weekend; cause I don't get home early enough during the week to swap it out. Link to comment
JBM Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 did a w/c last night also switch to tropical marin salt. hopefully all will be fishy Link to comment
JBM Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 so everybody seems to be liking the new salt. everything is still happy. Now the test is upon us. Im going to vegas in 12 hours. (thats aproximatley 3,000 miles away) I have enlisted the help of my best friend to feed the tank everyday between 4pm & 10pm. i also made 5g of ro last night so that way he can top off on saturday. i just hope to god i dont come home to another mess. I would be heart broken & probably stop fish keeping all together if it goes sour again. Link to comment
wimby Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Have fun in Vegas !!! If your friend follows your direction and all the fish should be fine. Link to comment

DCG1286 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Going to a 1.6 million gallon aquarium that has 10 different species of shark Can you get the measurements for me ... thanks ... I am thinking of putting one in myself. Link to comment
JBM Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 All I know right now is the depth: 22' So you might need to buy a couple of floors. Link to comment
JBM Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I IS BAK! massive vodka was consumed while in vegas. if anybody is ever in vegas PLEASE go & see the mandalay bay shark reef. While the name itself is a let down & there is ZERO coral. The sharks are epic. All of the angel fish & tangs are super healthy. I finally got to see a unicorn tang in captivity. It was huge, im talking 10-13" long. I KNOW I KNOW, the unicorn tang is nothing super special, but i have always loved the fish. Oh btw, my tank is fine (it needs a w/c & a top off) but otherwise everything is fine. so w/c tommorow Link to comment
ap123 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Glad all went well, and you came home to a healthy tank. Did you get any pics of the tank while you were at Mandalay Bay? Link to comment

JBM Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 vodka dosing in Vegas is VERY important! i was on a strict regimine of dosing every 15-20 minutes. i got very few pics of the tanks because they werent very well lit. SO i had to use the flash. i'll go thru my camera in a few days & see what i can come up with. Link to comment
JBM Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 im thinking of following m'akpinoy. In reguards to how he ditched his fluval canister filter. Im just a little concerned about mechanical filtration. I dont like hob's & dont have the space to hand a external overflow. Is the subcurrent intank filter awsome? Or should i just say screw the mechanical filtration all together? These are the questions. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I've heard that Subcurrent is good for smaller tanks, but that it is picky about the water level. Needreefunds has used one, talk to him. Link to comment
JBM Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I see Class, any other suggestions? Link to comment
JBM Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 gonna cut off the fluval later today & go with no mechanical filtration. I hope this works Link to comment
Codeman Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 gonna cut off the fluval later today & go with no mechanical filtration. I hope this works Go for it, canisters need to be cleaned way too often to be practical on a reef system. Link to comment
