devilsadvocate Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Friggint skimmer is still bubbling like crazy! And I still need a new fuge lamp. is it pulling nice skim out now? Link to comment
Squared Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 The skim is yellow, but it pulls out a ton of solid waste. Did a water change, and tested the water: alk: 7-8 ph: 8 cal: 420 na: 0 phos: 0-.25 mag: 1410 Everything seems fine, but there is something wrong with one of my acans. Maybe a snail sat on it...

Squared Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 i have a $100 + shipping budget for some fancy rimless tank. any ideas? and is pico reefs still selling the naked tanks? Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Is shipping included in the $100? I can't tell from what you wrote. Link to comment

Squared Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 im seriously considering a 60F from either doaqua or ADA... Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 im seriously considering a 60F from either doaqua or ADA... yes, do it. Link to comment
Squared Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 shipping for that thing is $60 pwahha Link to comment
JR! Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 im seriously considering a 60F from either doaqua or ADA... id do it in a minute Link to comment
Squared Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 yeah i love that tank but 100+60 is a buttload im going to see how much a custom rimless viso is through my LFS, should have asked when i was there, now i have to wait. it probaly won't be too much cheaper...but it'll be local. and maybe i could get it a little bigger tank for the same price.

Squared Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 most likely and it's going to be 100% LPS, and i don't want a single zoa polyp in sight Link to comment

What kind of tank is it? You should add an emerald crab to eat those gha.. id do it in a minute +1 at least they're fancy than ordinary rimless.... at a great price too. Link to comment
Squared Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 i had an emerald, but i caught him eating my favia. moved him to the fuge, crawled out to the other compartments, and died... as for the tank, i want a 15g rimless, but it would be dumb of me spend $150 on a custom tank when i can get a mr. aqua for $80...and just two inches taller. im going to need to continue to use T5s until i can afford to buy two PAR bulbs. im trying to go for a "minimalist" look, no sand, and interesting rock scape, and only a few nice pieces. maybe a fish or two.

albertthiel Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't think that will be a problem ... notice that your magnesium is a bit on the high side (a bit) normally IME 1200 is the recommended but if all looks good I would not worry about it, just keeping an eye on it should be fine so it does not keep creeping up ... Good luck with the move Albert Thanks for the article G, gonna start a new tank thread tomorrow, think I can transfer my stock after I put in my year old rock? Yes why spend more when you can spend less :) Bare bottom or are you going to put something else than sand down ?

Squared Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 thanks might need something on the bottom, so i don't scratch it wit the rocks, and so my LPS don't grow on the glass. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Maybe crushed coral or crushed limestone although when you use that you need to watch the alkalinity and pH ...

Squared Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I separated the coral im keeping from the coral im giving away/throwing away, the GHA is just that bad. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 After bad comes good so things do get better with a little help from the tank keeper I am sure you'll get things under control ...
