Mojorizn Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 FTS December 2009 Nothing on the Christmas list for the tank. All I'm looking to add is a Blue Spotted Jawfish, but no rush. Still praticing the "hands off approach". Water changes every 2 weeks or so. Do a test for Alk / Calc now and then. Ph holds around 8.1 / Alk 10 / Calc 425(?) last time I checked...I forget. Probably time to check again. So far so good. Rearranging as needed and finding the sweet spots for all the critters. Tank takes care of itself, I just feed my 3 fish, keep the top off full, and feed the corals some shrimp when I think about it. Thanks for looking. Link to comment
adam87 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Your tank looks great too. Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 So, I learned a lesson.... When ya move one rock, that leads to two, then three, then four followed by a few frustrated hours and a big wet mess. The wife and kids take off to the grocery store or any store for that matter. "Daddy needs some alone time to work on his tank".... The upside....made a few frags in the process...lol. This hobby is great isn't it? FTS Feb 2010 From the left From the right Link to comment

Twinn Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Tank looks good Mojo its nice to see some new updates. I was wonder how our cheato burrito experiment was working out? Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 needs mh. Bring them over so i can get an idea of what I need to do. The Chaeto burrito...LOL Fell apart...rubberbands and salt water don't mix. I got over it. Link to comment
steely185 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Tank looks great. I'm very familiar with the loss of several hours just to get rockwork right. Like the new scape. Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 And we have the frag rack. More needed than wanted. AND, just for filler...... This BN has grown from the size of a ping-pong ball to a softball Another BN fast grower. Bit smaller than a ping-pong ball when I got it, close to baseball now. Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 New addition Feb 2010. GC Reef in Corpus Christi $81.00 out the door. Hope he like the home I want him to choose....... Link to comment
Arkayology Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Blue Spot JF are awesome! It will look awesome in your tank. Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks. I offered em a little food and he went right for it.....a good sign. Hopefully he will settle in the "PVC home I made". Forgot where I saw that thread. Either way, so far so good, but it's only been an hour. Link to comment
OClownsandNanos Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Very nice rockscape - love your corals, esp. your SPS! Hands-off pays off quite well, it seems. Keep it up! Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hands-off pays off quite well, it seems Well to a point. I checked my Alk / Cal / Mg params day after a WC, just for kicks, and they were on the low side. So, I have begun regular dosing of Alk / Cal. Seems with all the SPS, gonna stay thay way. So, the "hands off" has now changed to "don't stress it"....lol Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 So, news for March 2010 - Well, Bluespot went MIA for day and 1/2. Was found, well partially found that is... Let's just say that my CUC is capable and willing. No clue as to why the BSJF perished. Was eating well and getting along for all 4 days I had em....bummer. Looks like a small YT is in order... Anyways, some pics for March 2010. FTS Progression June 2009 August 2009 December 2009 March 2010 Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Posted a vid on YouTube Nothing fancy. I'll eventually figure out how to embed it here. YouTube Video Link to comment
Crackerballer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Good looking tank, I would just be to worried about a fish getting stuck in the overflow, or even a snail. One clogged drain could be a bad day. Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 drains are covered with "glass mat" or "bar mat" whatever ya wanna call it. Link to comment
AdriftQuasar Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I really like the way you did your plumbing and overflow for this setup. I'm appreciating more and more how simple solutions are the best. I'll be moving into a dorm room for a semester, so I won't be taking my tank with me, but I have been thinking about upgrading to a 40B to give my parents a little more wiggle room while maintaining the tank. The whole idea makes me nervous. Your tank is filling out beautifully. I imagine if you could resist the urge to add more, and just let things grow in, you would have something truly remarkable.

wimby Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Looks good Really grew into something beautifully nice Nice vid also Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thanks for the comments. The pluming is simple, reliable and above all QUIET. It's tough to resist temptation, but i manage. Always room for Zoas / Rics....and maybe that cool Acro over at the LFS..... And just a frag here or there...see what takes off and what doesn't. thanks again Link to comment
