squirrelieygrrrl Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I love your scape and the tank is looking great now that you have your coral in the tank. I'm sad I missed your last build but this one is pretty awesome so far. I'm hoping I have my 30 gal nuvo up and running within the month so then we can give eachother tips and tricks on the tank. Awesome jg, I appreciate the kind words. I would really like that, let me know when you start a thread! Link to comment
owenj Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 May not be all that your former tanks had, but the corals you've still got to continue on the legacy are gorgeous! Excited to see what the tank color looks like with the two PAR bulbs added on. Link to comment
jgpico Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Awesome jg, I appreciate the kind words. I would really like that, let me know when you start a thread! I have a thread now its just not very exciting yet. It's in the members section under 3+14=30 gallons of awesome. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Who doesn't love a happy clam? I'm an advocate for sure. same clam, febuary of 2011 the best shot I could muster of the plate the not so sunset sunset montipora, hopefully the color comes back. A skinny mandarin, the little boy hasnt weathered the tank stress so well. Now before the mandarin police come to take me away for floggings know that I have pods on the way (scheduled to be here tomorrow) and I have been working to retrain him back on frozen food. For what ever reason he decided to forget that the frozen mysis and formula one pellets that I had been feeding him was suitable when we moved him. Not to mention I can't imagine living in a bucket for a week did him much good. Jamie, That is very kind of you to say, thank you so much. JG, I'm headed over to your thread shortly to check it out.

squirrelieygrrrl Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 So after receiving my order from reefs2go I will probably never order from them again. I requested that they not send the anemone that was included in the nano cuc package, however it showed up and now I have to figure out what to do with the damn thing...... No heat pack, everything was damned cold. the snails and crabs were miniscule, not worth the money. The mushroom was freefloating in a bag loose...... The only thing that was worth it was the pods I received, beyond that I wont be ordering from them again. ugh. Link to comment
Asureef Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 How's my ex-artisan pal doing? You better keep a cover on that tank or else you're gonna end up with a dried up wrasse. Link to comment
SeaSkull Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I love your tank, fish selection, and the aquascape! I'm seriously thinking about getting the same tank. Can you tell me where you bought your live rocks? Also, I noticed your mystery wrasse still has his stripes. I heard that the ones from Vanuatu can keep there stripes. Is yours from Vanuatu as opposed to the Marshall Islands? If so, where did you get him? Keep the photos and updates coming. Thanks, SeaSkull Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well I had about a 9 month bout of reefing butt hurt. I think I'm over that now... I lost quite a bit more since I was here last, mostly due to my missing 'give a damn'. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm back to give it another go. Today I added my bubble magus nac 3 to the middle chamber, which may be gross overkill. I don't know why I didn't think of putting it in there before. It took a bit of finagling, and adding some longer return lines so it would fit, but it seems to be working ok. Despite the tight quarters. I will however have to stay on top of top offs to keep the water level in there consistent. In a couple of days my AI Vega will be on its way, I'm going to attempt to fab up a bracket to attach it to a kessil gooseneck, I'll post pics and a shopping list of what I'm planning and how it goes when it gets here. Hey Asureef, A tediously late reply, but here I am none the less. I've had that mystery wrasse for almost two years in both the cad and the I'm uncovered with no incident. Knock on wood and fingers crossed it stays that way. SeaSkull, Thanks for the compliments! The rock I special ordered a few years back from my Los, it's called tokota. I'm not sure where he was collected, but thus far he seems to be keeping his stripes, so possibly a Vanuatu collected specimen? I think I ordered him from live aquaria's diver's den. Now a couple of hideous iPad pics.... I was too lazy to dig out my camera and laptop. (damn autocorrect) Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well after a few hours more of tinkering with the bm nac3 it may not work out. It's putting a metric f*** ton of micro bubbles into the display due to the lack of a bubble trap. I wonder if there is a way to fab something up to help with this issue..... I'll have to wait and see if it calms down a bit after it gets past the break in period after being cleaned... Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 What is that? A nac in the back of a IM? Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Maybe...... Lulz. It may not work out though. A little expieriment I started today. Link to comment

squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Welcome back :happydance:I'm happy to see you still have Lunch. Thanks Love, The Lunchers is a little trooper, he's got to be about 5 years old now. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well I seemed to have further muddied my nac3 expieriment, that's what I get for tinkering. I cleaned the Venturi on it and some how made it produce way less bubbles and made it much noisier. Guess I'll have to strip it down and see what happened after work tonight. Is it OCD if I keep tracking the package with my new vega like every 20 minutes to see if it has moved from Visalia CA? Link to comment
Moolelo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm not going to lie, you have a pretty inspiring story, despite disaster. Mahalo (Thank you) for always being concerned with the animals first ^_^ Often people just brush aside a lost coral or fish, its great that so many care about every organism in their tanks. Good luck with the techy setup and damn what an impressive maroon! Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 nothing worse than damn micro bubbles... so annoying... Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Did your vega make it in yet? I absolutely love your clam, I think that will be my next introduction to my tank after I move. I'm glad to see you back. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 nothing worse than damn micro bubbles... so annoying... Ikr!? They seem to have diminished, along with a lot of the noise while I was at work. I wonder if I stuffed the output with filter floss if that would help.... Hmmm,. To tinker or not to tinker. Did your vega make it in yet? I absolutely love your clam, I think that will be my next introduction to my tank after I move. I'm glad to see you back.Nope but it did leave Visalia.... Finally I'm planning on doing a thread just for my fabbed up kessil turned ai gooseneck. That dersa has been damn near bullet proof, albeit not the most pretty clam I've ever seen. I love her tons, even if she is ginormous. Link to comment
JCG66 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 HEY! Nice to see you back, I have a nac 3 infront of me right now and damn that must be a big rear chamber in your 38! Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 HEY! Nice to see you back, I have a nac 3 infront of me right now and damn that must be a big rear chamber in your 38!P Thanks! It's good to be back. It is barely big enough, I've been toying around with the idea of modding one of the media basket chambers to put the nac3 in there instead. So I don't have to constantly fight with micro bubbles and water level issues. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 A big welcome back. I get burned out frm time to time. I just came off a few month break myself. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 A big welcome back. I get burned out frm time to time. I just came off a few month break myself. Hey ya Lawn! Thanks. it kind of broke my little reefer heart to loose so many years of hardwork and so many corals, aside from my dream tank being put out of commission. The combination was a bit too much to bear. My wifey was the one limping the IM along for the past 9 months. Link to comment
Coolhandreefer Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Welcome back!! I love that clam you have, I'm hoping to get one eventually. Link to comment
