MFChop Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pulled the trigger on a Hydor Slim Skim nano, unfortunately its on back order for two weeks.... Unfortunately my Yasha has been acting very weird lately... Hes was barley moving the other day and yesterday he went crazy daring all over the tank..... I hope hes not on his way out :/ Link to comment
MFChop Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Updated FTS in OP Reworked the rock scape today while I wait for UPS to bring me my new skimmer Link to comment
patrickbruno91 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looks great, i love the AIO concept of it. Link to comment
FallenMonkey Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Is the yasha alright? Link to comment
MFChop Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah I think he wasnt eating properly. I put him in an Iso box for a few days and fed him directly. He wasnt happy about being in there but after a few days I released him back in to his "lover" the pistol shrimp lol. When I moved the scape he was hiding in there looking healthy as always.... After a weekend with my new Hydor Skimmer it has pulled about an ounce of brown nastiness from my tank... I hope after a while it will help cure my algae issues Link to comment

MFChop Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Well I think my Yasha is gone . I haven't seen him in over a month now..My pistol is all alone now My skimmer works great so far.It really pulls alot of nastiness out of the water, but I'm still dealing with algae problems...

MFChop Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Updated OP and yes my Clown has been hosting the Zoas lately in that new pic Link to comment
MFChop Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 A lots changed since my last post. Got rid of the Maroon Clown and got a pair of Ocellaris Clowns, that have made home in my Xenias. I kinda got overwhelmed with the constant maintenance of two tanks, so I took down my Edge and its helped me focus more on my this one and regain my interest. All of the LR from there and clean up crew made it into this tank. In the past year I lost a lot of coral due to cyano algae. Even though Im using Chemi-Pure now. Im looking into adding a reactor to help filtration, it will have to be a HOB / external. My water changes are back to a normal schedule 20% every two weeks, Floss ever week, and Chemi every 4 weeks. I just ordered the MP10wQD upgrade for my ES so I can finally sync my Radion and Vortech, curious to see how much quieter it will be since I sit 3ft from it 8hrs a day. Hopefully Ill try to be more active with updates now too Link to comment
MFChop Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Did some water testing today.... not gonna lie I probably haven't in a year or two :/ PH 8.2 Ammonia 0ppm Nitrites 0ppm Nitrates 10ppm Gonna go pic up a test kit for the other parameters tonight.... Link to comment
vlangel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We need a FTS so visually we can appreciate your tank and the new changes. Link to comment
Learn It Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We need a FTS so visually we can appreciate your tank and the new changes. ^ this. it certainly had an awesome start Link to comment
MFChop Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah it had an awesome start till I lost my zest lol But its come back! Im slowly ramping up my Radion. I had turned it down to 20% a while back and Im slowing getting it up to 60% where it "should" be at. Unfortunately iPhone doesn't produce great pics so I wont be able to post till I snag my camera in CT Link to comment
MFChop Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 With weekly water changes and everything seems to be doing great... going to have to start adding more coral again soon Tested the water after 4 weeks PH 8.4 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 5.0 Phosphates 0 Calcium 420 PH seems to have creeped up a little after tomorrows water change I'm hoping it will be back down to normal Link to comment
MFChop Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Threw some new coral in the other day; Ricordea, a walk, and some Zoos One Ricordea detached and was lost to the mp10 so I put the sock back and the Radion is set at 40 ramping back up to 60 over a week, hoping they settle in soon Water Parameters PH 8.0 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 5.0 Phosphates 0 Calcium 380 Sorry for the crummy iPhone pics :/ Link to comment

Drew11 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I love the AIO design for this tank. I plan on doing the same thing with a 40 breeder I have Link to comment
MFChop Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 How's the algae battle going? Slowly but steadily, Im refusing to piss off the tank with peroxide. Weekly water changes have made a lot of difference with my tank. However since my tank is over stocked its a hard battle. My water parameters say Im doing good though lol I love the AIO design for this tank. I plan on doing the same thing with a 40 breeder I have Thanks. Eventually Im gonna ditch this for a custom 40g long essentially two 20g longs put together, wish someone just made one Link to comment

MFChop Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Dropped my Radion from 60 down to 45% for better PAR value range with the new corals Going to have to start adding calcium to the tank to keep it in the upper 400 range, any recommendations? Link to comment
MFChop Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Update: Tank is looking better and better now that Im doing weekly changes Had an Aptasia outbrake this past week that I needed to treat Also now dosing with Aquavitro calcification Im loosing a lot of the orange zoas I recently added idk why when the others I have in the same spot are doing just fine....
