Spirofucci Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 So far he only comes out to eat, so I'm glad of that. He is so blue that I thought of naming him "blue meanie" from "Yellow Submarine", but you're probaly way too young to have seen that movie. "funny, you don't look blueish?" Classic. Link to comment
Ezsharkman Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 you should name him shart Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I actually have seen it I'm a pretty big Beatles fan and have been since I was little. Rubber Soul's my favorite album. I did not see Yellow Submarine until about 2 years ago and I have to say I did not enjoy it. 60's music is my favorite genre though, I have SiriusXM and my car pretty much stays on 60's on 6. There are some other stations I listen to but 75% of the time it's that. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes, Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings. My son, who is 15, discovered the Beatles a few months ago. He now has the complete set and listens to them non stop. He can tell you who wrote and sang in most of the songs. Joel, Rubber Soul has to be at the top of my list as well! Link to comment

gena Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Spiro's been MIA. Busy with his family I suppose Merry Christmas!!!!! Did you ever get your secret santa gifts?????? I hope????? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I didn't go anywhere, but my daughter and her hubby came in from Fresno, CA and have been spending some wonderful time with them, we had a great Christmas! I still haven't got my secret santa thing.....yet. I hope ya'll had a great Christmas. Link to comment
gena Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 re: secret santa...that's a bummer. I'll pm jrmiller so he can light a fire under your santa's butt! That's wonderful that your daughter was able to spend Christmas with you guys. We are 2k miles away from family. I swear I will never allow it when my son is grown and married. Being away from family is for the birds!!!!!!! How's the new blue fish? Did you ever come up with a name? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sounds like a great christmas! +1 on the Secret Santa, if you end up not getting anything I'll send you something, you spent a lot of time and thought on what you got me it would be horrendously unfair for you to end up with nothing. Whoever your Santa is better get the lead out. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks guys! I'm not worried about the secret santa thing, nothing to get mad or upset about, if it happens, cool. I named the blue guy, "blue meanie" from the Yelow Submarine. He's anything but mean though, still hiding but comes out to eat, so I'm happy. He is so blue. I still have some blooms of cyano/dyano so last week I ordered a custom CUC from John @ reefcleaners, but the order got messed up so I'm gonna call him today. I ordered the usual snail crew but also getting a serpent star, green crab and an electric blue hermit. After that all settles down its time for more corals! I was thinking of ordering from Vivid. Looks like they have a lot of cool stuff on line as well. Link to comment
gena Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Vivid has a huge selection. I've never ordered from them, only shopped in the store. I'm sure they are top notch with shipping though. Another favorite of mine to order from is reef-gardener (sponsor on here). She's definitely top notch. So you decided to go with "blue meanie"....I likey, just so long as he doesn't live up to his name Oh....prepare for snails out the wazoo Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Which circulation pump are you using on the tank Mark? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have an MP 10. I got it wireless in case I add another one, which I'd like to. BTW, I'm very interested in that light combo you are gonna get! Link to comment
Dan. Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Did you try putting the MP10 in the electrical box or are you happy with it where it is? Tank is looking good and like your new additions. How about a recent FTS? Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 BTW, I'm very interested in that light combo you are gonna get! Makes 2 of us, I'll document the retrofit. Link to comment

Tank is looking good and like your new additions. How about a recent FTS? I have considered it, very cool idea! But, right now I like the flow I have. I think that eventually I'm gonna get an Apex controller which will take all the cords out of the box, maybe then. I'll try and get a FTS this weekend with pics of some cool CUC dudes. But not much has changed in the tank so far. If all goes well, In a couple of weeks I will place another order for some corals. BTW, I'm shooting for TOTM in 2015, lol Makes 2 of us, I'll document the retrofit. Thanks! I know you have done a lot research on the lights. I have done a little and did not see any good photographic documentation on an led retrofit for the RSM. Looking forward to it! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hola! Back from ABQ! ... hows your tank coming along darlin? I installed my media rack last night as soon as I walked in the door from my trip. Link to comment

Let us know if you notice a difference in water clarity with the rack. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Lol spiro, id shoot for totm but my tank isn't popular haha Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hey! Glad to have you back! Hope everything went well. Let us know if you notice a difference in water clarity with the rack. Crystal clear! Now I need to install the Tunze. My question is, I have left the bio balls/carbon/white tube like things in Ch.2 ... Gena advised me to slowly remove those items, prior to adding the skimmer. What is your take on this sir? Before I move on to ask what... Eric, Gena, CJ, Randi, Joel think about this also.

What are you running on your media rack? If you have any kind of chemical media like Chemipure you can go ahead and take out the old carbon. Gena's right about slowly removing the bioballs/white tubes (I'm guessing they are ceramic and also bio media), you could probably just take them all out at once but you never know what that could do maybe pull a handful of bioballs out today, then a handful of the white things next week, then bioballs, etc. until you're out. That would be at least 4 weeks which would be plenty of time to adjust. Link to comment

That would be at least 4 weeks which would be plenty of time to adjust. The bio balls are the size of ping pong balls, maybe 8 total (I do not recall total count) the other media in Ch.2 ... the carbon and white tubes .. their in self contained bags, each. with a skimmer being installed, it wouldnt matter if you stirred your sand up (sarcasm) but no really, just take out the BALLZ youll be good to go! dont over think this! ... and your saying, just go for it! Well I am crazy like that, however still not sure LOL! What shall I do?! Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd take four of the bioballs out today, and yeah those white things also do the same job as the bioballs. Link to comment
