Deano Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Great tank. Taking off the eurobracing makes me awful nervous. That glass is thin as hell on those tanks. It'll be fine. I took the cross brace off my old AGA 40H and never had a problem after 4 years. Gave it to a fellow reefer he had it for a couple years with no problems. 20 long doesn't have much depth so there is little pressure on the rim. Link to comment
dotc0m Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 @ Deano - No Pistol shrimp. I feel the symbiotic relationship takes away from part of the personality I enjoy the most (the swimming part) . See below! Out in the open! @zma21 - Lol, I'm with you brother, but I'm hoping the sample size that I've seen on the success rate of rimless AGAs are true to point @dh I have polyp extension! I also have your tupperwear. My fiance wants to know what restaurant you guys got this from . I'll give ya a 2 head chong bong frag for the information to start up that little pico of yours and deliver it in your tupperwear lol. Link to comment

dotc0m Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 So I upgraded to a 40Breeder and one of my assignments is getting this GHA under control. I inherited the GHA on the rock, and have begun yanking them off. My husbandry + time will hopefully make this vanish. Here are the specs: Tank: 40 Breeder Lighting: ATI 24'' 4x24w (Looking to upgrade to either 6 bulb 24inch, 4 bulb 36 inch, or 6 bulb 36 inch) Sump: Custom Sump Return: Marineland Utility Pump Skimmer: SWC 120 Flow: MP10, looking to add another. Left side (+ Dhaut's tupperwear, sorry lol) Right side: Some corals: Link to comment

dotc0m Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Just got a pair of onyx clowns, upgraded my ATI fixture to the ATI 6 bulb fixture. =) GHA getting under control. First water change today. Did some massive cleaning. Pretty soon I can start taking the corals off the sandbed and on to the rock work... Link to comment
dotc0m Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Pictures: The new pair: Nightmares I believe: Red cap growing like weed: Chong bongs; I have a few frags of these: Magicians: Devil's Armor I think, they're my biggest colony of palys. And next to it I fragged off from the Devil's Armor one day a discolored polyp sprouted, and I fragged it off, ever since they've been reproducing the same way: Bringing this guy back to life: Link to comment
dotc0m Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ordered replacement ATI Reflectors. Some of the ones from the 6 bulb fixture have rust and salt creep on them. Had to replace a fan as well. Good thing I got this thing for a steal of a price. Grabbed my second MP10 for this tank, a second Phosban Reactor 150, and some rowaphos to go along with it. GHA is slowly going away (thank god) Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 you should be happy to hear that my phosphates are around 1.0-1.4ppm. Anyone that isn't an idiot can keep phosphates lower than that, lol. That's why I had algae. I just tested my ro/di and it's showing 0.09 phos. Time for new filters. Link to comment
dotc0m Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Sigh. Lost my six line today. Saw him dry on the floor. Guess I'll use the screen the tank came with. Remaining inhabitants are: Onyx pair Yasha haste RIP six line... Link to comment

Added yellow coris wrasse to replace my suicidal six line =(. Skimmer is going nuts with all the epoxy in there. Selling my 6x24w ATI to fellow reefer. I need to buy a photobox.
