Dr. Pete Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hey Ben, cool hitchhikers. Even after a year, I've still got new things popping up in my tank that I've never seen before. Keep watching for them. Link to comment

Dr. Pete Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 thank you. do you know anyone else from the area that is into SW? My cousin was keeping a saltwater tank for a while, but she lives in New York. I don't know anybody else keeping a tank in the area. I'd gladly trade some frags with you in the future if you are interested. Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I don't know, I thought clovers looked like Link to comment
bencollinz Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 So I'm at the LFS, I don't like either of those tangs mentioned. And the wrasses don't look anything like what I'm seeing online. The colors are beyond dull. *sad face* Any other suggestions while I'm here? Otherwise I'll have to order online. The leopard wrasse looks cool but it gets big? Lime green coris wrasse looked cool too, but same thing gets too big. The mimic eibli tang looked nice too. Link to comment

JamesHL88 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't know, I thought clovers looked like The first two pics are the same thing he has in his picture. The last pic is something different. And im pretty sure they are holding a fourth leaf on those two in the last pic. Notice how awquard the hands look holding them. Link to comment

FishBrawler Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 fine, no tang. I don't like either of those. maybe they look better in real life? I'll see if LFS has either. MIMIC TANG! Blurry picture of mine! Love the colors! You don't see colors like this often! http://s1324.photobucket.com/user/FishBrawler/media/20130516_152947_zps2f73fc12.jpg.html'> Link to comment
bencollinz Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 went to put my skimmer in last nite, won't be able to change filter socks if I do. dammit. who can make me a sump? Link to comment
MikeTR Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 40 breeders work nicely as sumps.. as do a 20L.. Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 a 20 long is perfect for a 55. i even used a 10 gallon tank for a sump since i was crammed with a small space. Link to comment
bencollinz Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 40 breeders work nicely as sumps.. as do a 20L..if you look in my pictures of sump/area, I don't have the room. I had to use 2 - 10 gallons. a 20L just barely didn't fit, otherwise I would've. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 bugger.. what's the dims under the stand? .59 on the phos.. you gotta get that under control mang.. Link to comment
bencollinz Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 bugger.. what's the dims under the stand? I can accomodate a 10"D X 41"W X 17"H sump .59 on the phos.. you gotta get that under control mang..I know. I'm not sure what made it spike. It's been 0 forever and the only change I've made is the filter socks that I have to change out every 2-3 days. any ideas? Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 This was before plumbing was finished but I also had no room whatsoever other than a 10 gallon. I feels your feels ben bro. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 because because because because becaaaaaaaaaussseeeee the wonderful world of phos.. well the solution is simple.. run GFO. The cause could be a few things. Can leach from your liverock (which i think is debateable). Another cause is feeding. Phosphate is in all foods, so if you've never run GFO and you've been feeding for a few weeks, then that's probably it. Also just test your source water (pretty sure you have an RO/DI).. and then test your make up water. Could also be a craptastic test kit. Link to comment

I have to get more reagent to test the RO and freshly mixed. Link to comment
