metrokat Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think there should be a FTS on every page! And 29 pages in, this tank is already looking EPIC! Appreciate your kind words. Oh, whew! I have until page 29 to get my tank looking decent. NOBODY POST IN THERE ha! We need pictures lady. stat. Was the clown okay? Quote Link to comment
Mariaface Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 ha! We need pictures lady. stat. Was the clown okay? Totally fine! The hammer hates my guts, though, and that freaky bacteria's still making the rounds. I really don't want to have to use an anti-bacterial in this tank, so I'm crossing my fingers that the damage stops with all the bacteria dosing I've been doing. 1 Quote Link to comment

In time the balance will work out, it's frustrating in the meantime I know. Between the skimmer and supplements it will get balanced soon hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Oh, whew! I have until page 29 to get my tank looking decent. NOBODY POST IN THERE HAHA, you and me both! At this rate I probably won't get to page 29 for years - so I got plenty of time. 2 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 but, but , but....my filter sock holder is a rectangle....... I have always thought a removable ring would have been the best improvement they could have done on filter socks. Order the CPR ones off eBay and rock on. Those square socks are a pain in the ass with the broken edges. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CPR-Pre-Filter-Sock-holder-4-Sock-It-4-Holder-only-NIB-/320652374656?hash=item4aa85ef280:g:BhgAAOxyp-BSLiBE Also, really, who has photoshop? I have lightroom or what the hell ever came with my camera, still can't use it, lol. Retouching a shitty picture is lazy! 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Traded in the filefish and damsel for a new fishy poo! Pics tomorrow if she comes out of hiding. What did I get, any guesses? I do. What are you trying to do? Copy paste some corals along that top edge there, not to make it seem like a wall - just on that ledge part there 1 Quote Link to comment

William Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 You should try a Red Bandtail Waspfish, super colorful and tons of personality Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 The black piece of ABS is still in place but the sand gets in between the glass lip and the piece So I'm thinking that unless it was glued all the way, a bit of glue to hold it in place may not help. Stinky made me a black acrylic strip for there so that will be more substantial but I'm still not sure if sand will stay out. Quote Link to comment
Groot Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I wanted to post up a review of the Reef Octopus socks. Yep- the socks. Bet you didn't know they made 'em. If you recall my original sump was a RO which had a crack on the front seam that I was lucky enough to catch before I flooded my apartment. I kept the sock holder and socks, I wasn't sure what I would do with them but I can be a hoarder, so. On my 20L sump I dremeled out some of the rim to fit various things like the ATO tubing holder and also this sock holder. The RO socks are really a bag - a fleece bag, 100 microns so it basically catched everything. The neat part is that it doesn't have a plastic rim that all the other socks have. It comes with a plastic ring which you thread onto the bags and drop them in the sock holder. I've never enjoyed washing socks as much! I'm serious. It's soft and easy to turn inside out. It squeezes/wrings out. I mean this thing is amazing! The 100 microns catch a lot so I have to change the sock far quicker than I did with the old 200 microns obviously but cleaning these is like night and day easier than the ol' plastic molded socks. Strongly recommend these for any sump that allows a sock. I think you could use it in pretty much any filter sock bracket. . Where to buy? Quote Link to comment
