Polarcollision Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hey. Any pics of the locline set up?? Sorry -- just saw this. You know, the 1/4" loc-line is almost impossible to snap together without the tool! I even had one of the strong arms at the office try to snap them together with no go. The pieces will slip into the same opening as stock return, so that part at least is good. I'll update if I ever find a way to force them together or break down and buy that expensive tool. Cute cat. Nice looking pico. Thanks! I can't find your thread to take a peek - link? And how are Namara and Jasper, and your tank? They both helped me move the aquarium off the counter and to it's new home on the stand last night. OK, maybe 'help' is a very strong word here! :-) How is your little one? Quote Link to comment
Belac Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I would think you could put the lock line togher with an arbor press. Or maybe even a modified ratching hand clamp. The trick would be keep it square so you don't go launching it across the room. Quote Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Reefkeeper lite arrived today! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! You woulda been SOOO much more happy with an Apex. Tank is looking good though. I recognize a few of those corals. Quote Link to comment

Tank is looking good though. I recognize a few of those corals. Now where were you when I was trying to decide what to get? So far I'm just happy to not be a slave to dosing anymore. Fruit loops made another baby last night - up to 9 now. The pink and yellow are up to 5 and the AOG is just sitting there picking it's nose and looking pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment

My Loops started opening yesterday after almost 2 weeks being closed. Not all the way open but slowly. Quote Link to comment

P.S. - I think a lightbulb went off last night that my montis could be bleaching/stressing from too much light so I lowered the light intensity to 23, 35, 35 and down to 8 hours to see what happens. Might want to ignore my post from a bit ago. Quote Link to comment
Belac Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ha! New shots game? That is going to end badly I can already tell. No lock line finished and every one plastered. *Next morning* "how on earth did we manage to get embeded in the ceiling?" I think you already said but where did you find that size of lockline? 1 Quote Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks! I can't find your thread to take a peek - link? Here's the link to my build. Took me forever to figure out how to add sigs . Quote Link to comment

Wanna process them for me?? What did you get? I picked up $180 worth of Zoas from Zoanthids.com. I was glad to hear he was coming and had him bring me a few zoas. Only other person I bought from was Natalia. haha. Place was WAYYY too crowded so we left by 1030. Quote Link to comment

I was glad to hear he was coming and had him bring me a few zoas. Only other person I bought from was Natalia. haha. Place was WAYYY too crowded so we left by 1030. Got the strawberry lemonade millepora I've been drooling over, king midas, another yellow zoa, tubbs blue, some green speckled black one with green skirt and orange mouth, my clementines, another that looks like my clementines but with a lighter blue ring, a pink-red-teal acan, purple rhodactus, radioactive zoa, a yellow blob sponge. Earlier this week, I got the green spongodes, a duncan, and a lettuce nudibranch to eat the algae that's about to start growing from all the food I'm dumping in the tank. All together, I walked away with a little over $200. Pretty sweet! The only thing I want now is the orange setosa, but I'm full. Time to grow out. Oh, and Tim figured out how fun it is to keep aquariums, so he just set up a temperate tank. Looks great with all the little red and green pebbles we've collected on ocean beach walks. He got clean-up crew from Coldwater Marine: brittle stars, snails and a decorator crab. Washington won't let anyone collect ever since they went bankrupt and can't afford to survey species populations. But Oregon will allow each person to collect 10 creatures from some tide pools, so we're taking a trip south soon. Pretty sweet little tank so far! I have a cold and can't breath/sleep, so I processed a bunch of photos: This little green clown goby (who is actually blue) disappeared for a week. Thought it was a gonner, but it just reappeared one day and is an enthusiastic little eater. Named him Scarface to balance out the oh-so-original Nemo. Lettuce nudibranch cleaning algae off a snail Two of the newer additions: branching duncan and green spongodes Pink bird The softie and macro section: dragon breath, red branching, purple sponge, papaya cloves, GSP, my clementines, my miami chalice, cocoa worm, purple whip gorg, and some more zoas in the BG Some of the acan garden Sunny D before it had babies UFOs, i think Pink & gold, dragon eyes Space monster, BBEB, AOG, purple something or other, blurry red hornet and sad sunny Ds Blurry chongs bongs Some of the single-celled critters FTS from 12/20 FTS from 1/27 3 Quote Link to comment
