pablom617 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 They dnt sell putty and the glue they sell is like $10, lowes has loctite gel for $3, the putty I ordered from Stevie T @ intank. Check his siTe HD carries the putty too, Just look for the potable epoxy near where the superglue is sold. No need to buy the reef branded stuff, just the usual saltwater markup. Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Too late... I did buy the Loctite at HD but I bought the large tube of epoxy at Barrier for $18 I think... Link to comment
pablom617 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 18 bucks!!!! Jeezzz take it back and get a store credit for your future water purchases.. Look for the JB weld "Water-weld" like 10 bucks. Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Will coraline eventually grow over that stuff? Link to comment
pablom617 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yes, Try not to use too much epoxy. Just a little is enough. Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 yea I wasn't planning on it. Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Got my first SPS last night! Epoxied and glued it and the frogspawn this morning. I'll take and post pics layer tonight or Monday. Lights need to come on for pics. Also got a cleaner shrimp since my blood shrimp never comes out when the lights are on. Link to comment

I love mine but he steals all of the food from my coral!! Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hey bro that coral is a stlyophora, not a digitata. Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 homeboy down in Pompano... i used to go in there like every other 2 days... now once a week for water.... i think they liked me better when i spent hundreds of dollars on corals rather than a dollar on water hahaha Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I wouldn't doubt it. I may head down there this weekend to pick up another cleaner... Do you know when they get their shipments? Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 They'll say it's on certain days but who knows Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 My LFS is Wednesday and sometimes on Friday... Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 So after some recent troubles and frustration at my LFS I have decided to start mixing my own water and testing everything myself. Also, I'll be switching from dosing Reef Results Marine One-Step Calcium Carbonator to B-Ionic. I should be receiving today: MD Pro Refractometer Salifert kits - Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium B-Ionic 2 - Part B-Ionic Magnesium Reef Crystals salt mix Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Haven't updated this in a while... So I'm not crazy about my scape, I don't think it's going to work well for coral placement, so today I will be attempting to rearrange some of the rocks. RC mix is awesome, I finalize stabilized my salt level at 1.025. It was constantly changing when I was using the SW from my LFS. Dosing B-Ionic has been much easier and doesn't make a cloudy mess like the other stuff I was using. Still trying to figure out how much I need to put in though, hope to have it figured out in the next few days. Wish me luck on the new scape, I hate doing it, I have 0 imagination when it comes to that. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Love the scape, is it centered in the tank or semi up against the back wall? Link to comment
BocaIvan Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Love the scape, is it centered in the tank or semi up against the back wall? Both. Looking to get rid of the shelf on top and make it more like a hill growig to the back of te tank. Link to comment
