JoeD Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Unfortunate update... Arrived home yesterday to find that Mr. Biggles went carpet surfing.... He had made it to the fuge 3 times previously when spooked... Not sure what happened.... The worst part is that I had acquired netting to make a top, but had been too lazy to do it.....

JoeD Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Current FTS... and I'm amazed at how this tank has grown out in such a short time. It's been very low maintenance, and (knock on wood) only a couple of scares due to temp swings. The cloves have spawned, and might need to be reigned in a some point. Brittle stars hiding throughout the rock in the display. In short, a joy.... thanks to bluefunelement for starting me down this crazy path More pics to follow after I get a new bulb. Link to comment
JoeD Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 ATO went on the fritz for a day... MH and ceiling fan=lottsa evaporation. The ORA red planet did not like the salinity swing. I now understand RTN... <24hrs and RIP. Link to comment
JoeD Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 A little over one year in now... Current FTS 10-09-10 FTS 10-19-09 Tank still continues to be enjoyable. The macros seem to go through cycles of boom and bust. Warmer tank temps over the summer were not kind to them. Link to comment
JoeD Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Absolutely beautiful. Thank you... this tank has been a joy. Link to comment

Markushka Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 This tank is looking awesome! do you still have the rainfords? and what do you feed him? Link to comment
JoeD Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks Maria and Mark.... @Mark, yes the rainfords is still in there.. Very fond of hiding and sifting sand on the rics. For feeding, he gets on occasion mysis and/or cyclops. For the most part the tank is fed with a food mix that we make in the local club... Tons of stuff in it... broccoli, garlic, salmon, soft shell crab, nori, cyclopeeze, garlic, krill, silversides, and much more..... Keeps corals, fish, and inverts very happy. Recipe varies each time.

JoeD Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Well, finally made the switch to a new bulb...... Evilc66's PAR38 20K. WOW! Pics to follow. Link to comment
JoeD Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just a quick thought.... Personally stepping away from the use of Marineland heaters.... Too many problems recently.... Customer service and warranty has been great, but need a more reliable heater... Too much at stake.. Link to comment
