ManGups Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Tank looks especially nice today, I have to post a picture The Purple Montipora is getting dark again! Only question is that the edges are white- does that mean it's dying or that it's growing? The frags on the left will be put on a rack when my blackrockreef rack arrives Growing Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 What where you using the rio for? I don't really trust that brand anyways TBH. How's the clam? How is the clam I was using it for some more water circulation behind my rocks. I was getting some cyano! Clam looks nice and happy today, I guess it was just receded with the temperature fluctuation Golden T. Maxima Zoa Colony Mixed Zoa Colony WWC Cap (This is white, daylight lighting. In blues the green really POPs!) And a full tank shot. Slight movements after mixing up the sand bed and gluing some corals down Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 q Everything's looking good Harry !! The WWC is finally taking off! Took a while to get nicely colored, but now it has some white growth edges and is growing fast. Heres a recap: One month ago: Now: Link to comment

Jorgieee Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Harry I keep getting sand in my sump and I don't know how it's getting in there. About four months ago, I emptied out the entire sump and cleaned it then I put it back in. When I did this I also placed the return pump in the shower and turned it on to let it flush out just in case it had sand in it. Today I realized that there was sand all over the return pump, so I blasted it with the turkey baster. I noticed that sand was going into the display. Any suggestion on this? I am thinking of doing it again and buying a filter sock to see if I can solve the issue. Link to comment

It should be virtually impossible for sand to get thrown up into the water column high enough to get into the overflow. A filter sock would definitely help prevent anything from getting into the sump, but still sand shouldn't be getting into the overflow. Strange Link to comment
Jorgieee Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah I know me and my buddy can't figure it out I mean it isn't a lot but still, and yesterday I probably helped it more because I stirred the sand bed around. The sock will help with the sand floating around in my display right? Also do you think the return pump could have sand and it causing it to go into my display? You have a cadlights, right?

Sock will help take out the micro-particles of sand floating around, yeah. Still weird that sand would get into the overflow.... Maybe you're stirring the sand bed while the pumps are on and they are pushing the sand into the sump? Link to comment

You think I should turn of the return for a bit and let the it settle? Link to comment

Next time I do something like this I will turn everything off, and I meant should I turn it off now while the sand is floating around the display to see if it helps it a little? Link to comment
Jorgieee Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 So I turned off my return for a bit, and when I turned it back on a bunch of stuff came out of the return so I'm going to try to figure out how to take it apart and clean it. Link to comment

Pink and birds of paradise birdsnest... and you can see the little guy lurking, SOON! You're polyps will be my snack. Haha it'll be our little secret Aiyayiyayi. Oh shit she found out! So... This may or may not be my favorite coral ever! This Yuma arrived sort of green and generic, but went crazy. I have THREE! (This one jumped off so I glued it here) Skimmer is set wet and going well And my 2 gallons of B-ionic have arrived. Interestingly, they give you a hyper concentrated solution to reduce shipping costs. You fill it to the line with RO and wait 48 hours. Sort of annoying to wait two days for it to dissolve, but hey it's cheap dosing for a year! Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 FTS looks great - what's the top middle piece in the crevices? Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 FTS looks great! And I love that yuma I tried a yuma once and it melted in a week Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 FTS looks great - what's the top middle piece in the crevices? What coral are you referring to? Left? Right? FTS looks great! And I love that yuma I tried a yuma once and it melted in a week Thanks! This is my first time with Ricordia Yuma, but my Ricordia Florida are doing well so I'm hoping (fingers crossed) it'll do well Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 What coral are you referring to? Left? Right? The one in the center up behind the stick Acro - to the left of the clown( not the one behind it)- I zoomed in but can't tell- looks to be greenish with pink or purple edges Link to comment
