JBM Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 water change today. Decided to start doing 1 gallon changes, instead of the normal 1/2 gallon. 4 Quote Link to comment
JBM Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 So, as we all know. It's tax season. Uncle Sam once a year opens up his satchel & gives us colonists a few shillings back. ? I peruse craigslist like it's my second job for various oddities. I stumbled upon a deal I simply cannot pass up. A Bc29 and stand. Along with: Pump (pics look like a koralia) 2 filters (not sure what he means) Test kit Bunch of chemicals Heater Refractometer (this is awesome) Carbon pad Instant ocean salt (le sigh, I just bought a 240g box) And whatever else He can find. All for a measly $100. I check it out sunday. 3 Quote Link to comment

Perks of this tank are(is): - It's still running, so the upgrade should be instant (meaning no cycle) just bring it home, set it up. Let it run for a few hours to settle & add my corals & fish. - It's a 29g gallon tank with LR. The possibilities are endless. And, i can get more corals....i mean forals. (dammit) Foralish? *must resist urge to get more fish* - It's a bc29, StevieT makes cool things for it. I like cool things -LED upgrade Quote Link to comment

One head duncan, what appears to be a torch, and a green candy cane. Hooray for frags. Oh, and if anyone can help me take better pics with this iPhone 6 Plus that would be great I just bought the "Aquarium cam" app for $3 off the App Store and it's pretty good. You can see what it looks like before and after right here. Edit: sorry just saw that somebody mentioned it to you lol Quote Link to comment
JBM Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Well, tank turned out to be a bust. Even for $100 I just couldn't do it. The tank had had a rotten smell, the rim and lid were cracked in several places. The live rock was full of aptasia. And the stand was all scuffed up. I gave the gentleman a bunch of advice and left. 2 Quote Link to comment
JBM Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Did another 1 gallon water change today. Everything is going well. Even the montipora frag is showing signs of growth. 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Looks like things are progressing nicely! I think that montipora may be my favorite piece so far. 1 Quote Link to comment

Can I tell you a secret? its the very first sps I've ever owned that's lived for more then a week in any of my tanks. EVER. Tl;dr. I've only tried once before. I can grow scoly, acans, deep water zoas, leathers, clams. But feared the sps. My lfs has some sort of stylo for $5. Might give it a whirl 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I've always found montipora to be pretty easy sps. They tolerate a wide range of light, and as long as alk is stable, they don't care about much else. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment
