Pjanssen Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 7 hours ago, OfficeReefer said: @Pjanssen Was the reefer 250 your only consideration or did you also consider the RS Max E260? I ask this because many folks commented on the lack of space under this unit for the sump with ATO and other items? Were you able to get all these items cleanly away from sight? Have you changed the sump? I looked at a lot of tanks, not sure why I went with this one over others. I have not changed the sump. The ATO reservoir sits on top of the sump. I would like a bigger reservoir, but there is not room anywhere for that. There is no equipment currently on the outside of the cabinet, but if I ever want to add any kind media reactor there is no place for that. Overall, I am happy with this set up for what I am running. I am happy to show you what the sump area looks like if you want to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Couldn't sleep last night, so I snapped some pics. Feel like I'm just duplicating what's already here, but... Pink Acans. Not sure what the string is. Guess I should clean it off Purple and green acans. Seasons Greetings monti King Midas Zoas. At one time I also had LA Lakers, but I think the Midas took over. Remember this guy, I cut its leg completely off awhile back? Toadstool Eater egg chalice I think these are blue hornets, but I'm not sure Utter Chaos 7 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 While looking at the photos, I noticed this on the pink Acan Seems to be some kind of worm, definitely pops in and out, but very small. I think there are a couple of them. Could this be why the Acans are not growing as much as I think they should? Should I do a dip? 3 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 CR just contacted me. They currently have no acans. Subbing in a red and green blast, an orange echinata, and a few more zoas. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 The AC in the house has been down for two days with 90° temps (is it really only march?). Thank has shot up to 85°. I don't see any noticeable signs of stress and the AC has been fixed so the tank should start cooling down. Inkbird was actually right when it alerted me yesterday! 2 1 Quote Link to comment

They are very similar anyway, so I didn't even notice that it was happening. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 I just realized that I haven't seen my remaining engineer goby in awhile 🤔😒😔 4 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 I wasn't home when package arrived, and for whatever reason shipping company didn't notify me that they delivered. It's currently 90° here, so when I found out 2 1/2 hours later that they arrived I was a bit concerned. But I think everything looks okay. Currently acclimating in bags, but will come out soon. for dip and closer inspection. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Shipment from Cultivated Reef all look good so far. Dipped everything in Revive and saw no evidence of any pests.

Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 So lack of any photography skills... Purple lush CR Commoners Envy Procilapora (I think-looks very different on their website) Tyree Rainbow Stylopora (again, looks quite different on the website) Stay tuned, more to come. 4 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Now I will attempt to properly label the zoanthids. Please correct me if you know me to be wrong. The only one I'm fairly certain of-Bam Bams Bad angle but I'm pretty sure these are the Watermelon Wammies Scrambled eggs? Still more to come 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 I've changed my mind, I think the 1st pic is Oxides Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 And I think this is the Scrambled Eggs, so I need to figure out what the last one above is. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Granny Smith Maybe Nirvanas? Maybe this is just a really bad pic of the Pink Zippers? 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Now I'm thinking the above pic is Space Monsters. Ugh! Why didn't I have a better system to keep track of names when unpacking everything? Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 So these are ones that I can't figure out what they are by looking at pictures on @Cultivated Reefweb site. So Holly, if you are on here, maybe you can help me out. There are also a couple more that I haven't gotten pictures of yet. Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Missing names are sour lemons daisy dukes pink zippers Bam Bams That's assuming I got the others right. Quote Link to comment
