Kogut Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Get me a pic of it on the back... I wanna see how it looks on a tank w/ some stuff in it... Glad you got the RO/DI line figured out. Mine were color coded. Blue for usable water. Orange for junk. What kind of system did you buy? I went semi-all-out and bought the high end Kent Marine Maxxima... Although I do get lazy and fill it out of the 3-stage hooked up to the faucet for the drinking water every once in a while. Glad that some stuff did make it through, at least! Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 How's everytihng holding up today???? i hope the things that are still alive make it through...i think this is the 3rd thing that has happened to a contestent that is bad......keep it up Link to comment
Rene Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 We want some pictures of that skimmer in your HOB! How do you like the thing? How much space does it take up in the HOB? It's an Aquaclear 300 (70), right? I hope all your corals are holding up okay. Sorry to hear about your RO issue! Ouch. But there's still plenty of time left in the contest, and you never know what will grow back from the LR Link to comment
Travis Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 The skimmer is doing well, and the Denem Zoas are doing well, but the Acan, Pink spekled Zoas, and Yuma Ric are now doing so hot. they are all shrivled up like. I'll get some pictures this afternoon. Link to comment
Rene Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Bummer. Here's hoping things pull through. Though since water is gradually changing to better conditions, I would think there's a chance... Link to comment
Travis Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Update... Well, I think I need some more flow, so I ordred a Tunze Mini Pump, but it's back ordered so it will be awhile. Here's the pics. Not everything is doing so well. New Shroom Sick Ric FTS Link to comment
Pili Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Look on the bright side... AWESOME CORALINE !!!!!!! Link to comment
Travis Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Thanks Pili I'm going to need a new Impellow for the AC 70, I cut the props on it to short, so it barley trickles the water... Link to comment
Casabubu Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Man, that happened to me once. It sucks because you have too wait weeks for a replacement. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Yeah, it does suck, but I think I can get me LFS to order me one and it shouldn't take too long to come in. Link to comment
icenine Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hang in ther trav... I like the new 'shroom. If I were you I would pull a "switch" to get a new impeller. Buy a new AC70 from someone who has a easy return policy (petco...etc) hang on to your receipt for the new one. Yank the impeller on the new one for the filter on your pico and drop the old impeller into the new unit. Return the new unit (and remember to hang on to your receipt for the new one) with the old impeller, telling them that it was broke. That way it goes back to AC as defective and not on the shelf for someone else to buy. Actaully it will never go back to AC, they probably give stores an invoice credit and the store will just toss it. Just what I would do, but I may be a rotten person who worked in retail while going to school and knows how to take advantage of the "system". Link to comment
Travis Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Haha, I already have gotten my LFS to order me an Impellor Link to comment
Ann Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Things look to be picking up now right? The coralline on the rocks looks fantastic and I'm sure that your remaining corals will perk up again given a bit more time. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Travis Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Thanks I am hoping that they will all pull through. The Shroom detached it self, then floated around untlill getting stick in between one of my zoa rocks and a foundation rock. I'm goning to let it attch, then move the zoas so that they don't nuke each other Link to comment
Maxvan1 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Why is the FTS so blue? Where did you get that rock again? Thats probably the best rock I have even seen! Link to comment
Travis Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Update 12/14/05 FTS These are doing OK, but arn't fully opened. These have been closed since the "Big Mistake" discovery, but don't seem to be dead, they open alittle bit, but not for long. And this ric used to be Purple and about 5 times the size it is now...

Cesar Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Dude the coraline is insane bro. That's awesome. Link to comment
Rene Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 You still have those bluish zoos that were doing so well? I don't see them anywhere. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 They are the half open ones. I'm gonna take some LR out of this tank, and add it to my 20H to get the coraline on the rocks in there. Link to comment
Maxvan1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 lol, why would the 20H get rid of coralline? MUCH better FTS. New Zoanthids are awsome. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 lol, why would the 20H get rid of coralline? What are you talking about? The Zoas arn't new, I've been having them. Link to comment
Ann Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Did the red Acanthastrea make it OK? I can't see any algae growing on the LR any more which is good news. How much water have you changed out since you found out about the RO thing. I hope your corals continue to improve, I'm rootin' for them. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yeah your Coralline is nice dude......hows things???? Link to comment
