animalmaster6 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Mark the tank looks awesome man. I love the anemone with the clowns hosting it at the top of the tank. Do I see a Sailfin Molly? The angels are doing great and are eating extremely well. These are some of the most beautiful angels I've ever seen. I can't thank you enough! One may have ich but he's eating very well and is very healthy. I think they're still traumatized from the long car rides and sand. He took it pretty hard. The Kuhli Loach is being, well a Kuhli Loach! I have a little colosseum decoration. It has little holes where the windows are in the colosseum and the Kuhli Loach was just sitting in between one of the holes and just fell from it These guys are awesome! Link to comment
Markushka Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hope they all keep well. I'll be shipping the rest of the sand out to you as soon as I manage to get to that. its still in the tank and the tanks still running so it wont go bad by shipping time. I added about 155 ppm of magnesium (according to my calculations) over the past 2 days. Making more pure MgCl2 as we speak. I'm hoping it'll put a dent in the bryopsis. Does anyone know what normal Mag levels are in fresh made salt? I don't have a mag test so i'm sorta running blind here but it'll be alright. (just don't follow my example!) also does anyone know what lethal mag levels are in a reef tank? Link to comment
Markushka Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Some sad news, not from my tanks, but my buddies. He lost his big female cuttlefish (age: 5 mo) and a pincushion urchin I gave him. I took my long spine back but I'm afraid it wont make it. He also has a bahamas star in there that wasn't looking too hot. Neither of us have any idea whats going on. He actually has this tank plumbed to a sump in the basement and that sump feeds two tanks. In his other tank he has the cuttle I gave him and that one is looking good. Thats the weird part that one tank is going to hell while the other is doing ok. he ran parameter tests and they were good. My tanks are in the middle of this bryopsis war. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Oh man Does he have any other cuttles? Link to comment
Markushka Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Oh man Does he have any other cuttles? just that one now. Actually he asked me about cherry shrimp yesterday, and I though: hmm better ask AM. Can they live in full salt water? He said they could in brackish, and would that affect their reproduction rates? He wants to culture them to feed baby cuttles till they are big enough to take the SW shrimp he catches. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I dunno. Cherries can be fragile in bad water qualities as far as I know. Link to comment

Arkayology Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Bye Bye 20L So are you going to dorm reef it? Link to comment
Markushka Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Bye Bye 20L So are you going to dorm reef it? nah, too much trouble moving the tank there and back over break. It's a 5 hr drive to school one way. I'll be doing a drat tank at college with one of the 20s if i can get it set up before break is over. I'm also setting up the 46 as a no-maintenance macro tank. I'm going to leave my two clowns and my rainfords goby. I will have my mom and sister feeding it and topping off the ato res. I have experience running no maintenance systems so I do not expect failure with this one even tho I will be away for 2 month stretches. Its an nice way to ease my mom into the world of reef-keeping. shes been saying she wanted a tank. Link to comment
Markushka Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 some close up coral pics (I really hate this camera): I'll see if I can get some better ones tomorrow night. Link to comment

Markushka Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 OK well this tank went down on Jan 1st. The 46 replaced it, and it looks awesome. I think you all should still vote for me in AMs contest... Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What's up! Do you have a new tank set up still? Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 woah, haven't been on nr in a while. yeah I have my 46 still up socal. not looking as good as i'd like tho. Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 hi am. i'm back i guess. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Glad to see you back on N-R. Link to comment
Markushka Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 De-rimmed and ready for round 2! I'm moving the contents of my 46 over into this tank and taking it down to my apt in New Brunswick. I finally decided to move all my tanks from home. I'm going to make this into an AIO so i'm looking for some black acrylic for the false wall. I'm still in the air whether I'm going to do sand or go BB. I'm leaning to BB atm, because I want to get an MP10 and I'm giving the minimalist look a go. Link to comment
Rehype Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Glad your still here...look forward to seeing what you do with this. Link to comment
