Thanks ninja- yup......let it snow......maybe not quite yet

That sounds cozy actually. Relaxing and healing on the couch while it's snowing outside . Hope you heal fast and with no pain or discomfort .

Thanks Gena, surgery on Tuesday so the real healing begins then. Sunny and 70 today though- I am trying to enjoying time home but the pain pills keeps me a little out of it. Without them though the pain would be to much for sure. I am already driving my wife a little crazy- I am a bit of a busy body micro managing things then crash from the pain pills?

Be easy on your wife .

Hope the surgery goes really well for you!!!!

Thanks Gena- surgery pushed back till Thursday ? I am ready for healing to begin -let's get this show on the road. Looks like rain and maybe some snow for Wednesday and Thursday then back to 60's on the weekend. I think my wife is ready for me to go back to work ?

[Sk8n Reefer]

So a rarity happened today- my clowns ventured out of their Beta bowl area and went ALL THE WAY over to the other side of the tank. Amazing- they can swim ?. Maybe they were checking out the open area where the poci used to be...........jeez the tank looks empty ?

 

Snapped a quick out of focus iPad shot before they went back

O man, I miss your thread for a couple of days and come back to read that you are going in for surgery and crashing on pain meds! So sorry to read about your accident! That stinks but hopefully the surgeon will fix you up as good as new!

She probably is .

 

Looked like it was going to rain today. I've been cold all day. Only 71 in the house....brrrrr LOL. But it'd be worth it to have some snow .

 

I'm sure it's frustrating to have the surgery rescheduled....jerks . At least it's only a couple extra days .

Love it!

 

I can't believe how big the colonies you've got are Shocks me every time!

 

I say you'e got to be down to less than 2 gallons of actual water

Thank you! Yup- that's what's been going on around here. Yes, I have a good surgeon so let the healing begin. Having a tank will be therapy for sure. Worked on the ATO for the 50gal. a little today but as usual the plumbing parts don't match up. The Tunze ATO and the outlet on my Eshopps water container are gonna need some creative matching. ATO unit has an outlet with a RO connection and the Tunze pump has a larger connection

A little snow is ok - it's usually gone pretty quick in Denver so we'll just get a taste this week. Good time to work on the tank?

Love it!

Thanks Stellablue! Right - so when I do my small daily 1gal. w/c I am changing half the tank volume ?

HA! I think you should tell people you do a 50% water change daily They'll think you're nuts.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate it! The whole community has been very supportive - I've said it before but it's great to be here ?

Alright! Got some work done on the 50gal. tonight. Set up the Tunze Ozmolator 3155 ATO and my 10gal. Eshopps reservoir. Gonna be nice not doing morning and nightly top offs like I have since Oct 4th when we got it all wet. Should be able to start some transfers of live rock this weekend as long as I am feeling up to it! Also have about 18lbs. of Fuji and Real Reef rock in a bucket with an air stone running but I want to use the E- Marco on that. Might just get it in the tank and pull it out an aqua scape when I have to functional arms ?.

 

Why do all directions in this hobby suck? Reviewed the direction to the Tunze and was not very clear on much. Pulled up a BRS video on setting up the Tunze 3155 and had it going in a few minutes. Maybe directions on equipment should just say- watch video on utube from BRS or Marine Depot ?

 

Here's some quick shots- the powerheads are temporary. I have the gyre 130 waiting to go. Heater position is temporary too- because of the size (won't fit in the sump) I'll have to run it in the overflow- similar to what I do in my Nuvo.

 

Sorry for the quality- low lighting

Eshopps 10 gal. reservoir- really nice and has a window on the side with a float that shows how many gallons are left ?

 

 

Tunze in position- not using their water line marker

 

 

And a FTS- with my awesome nanobox quad/quad hybrid- just ran the T5's tonight. My wife still working through the door design

So thin, so sexy.

Nice progress. But shouldn't you be taking it easy with that shoulder???? Is today the surgery?

Hahaha- yes- Lisa did most of the work. I just stood over her and gave direction and annoyed her ?. Yes surgery in 3.5 hrs. Heading into the hospital in about an hr. Should be another cool looking X-ray- this time with a plate and screws!

Sending you lots of good wishes and healing thoughts for your surgery.

 

Tank looks awesome! And I was thinking the same thing about directions in this hobby! I haven't come across a good set of ones yet

[Chris!]

Hope everything goes well with the surgery! Tanks looking good, can't wait til you can actually get it scaped and lookin super sweet!

 

Directions? I don't think I've ever seen those, but then again I always just tear into it like a kid on christmas grab the toy and go play LOL

Thanks Rachel! Sounds like a good app- type in the piece of equipment and directions and a video pop up! Let's build one?

Thanks Chris! Ya I tend to do the same thing - I usually think I have it- read the directions and then feel lost, watch a vid and realize I did have it?. Starting to get excited about the set up for sure!
