As an update....everything is doing great...great color and polyp extension. My skimmer is still pulling ultra-nasty stuff out!!
The only thing is that now that I have reached 10mL a day I am strting to see a lot more cyano. The instructions to follow if cyano is present is to cut the dose in...
I certainly do know what you are talking about and I certainly do own a 94 Supra TT 6-spd. I do all the work on it myself. It is one of the things that bring me joy!!
That is quite interesting. I know the groud probe is for your safety, but I never thought about having a completed circuit and the effect on the tank.
Now, what if all the electrical equipment was in the sump and the ground probe was in the sump as well?? Would that keep the electric out of the DT?
Exposed wires :o Thats a perfect example for why you should have a grounding probe!!
Also as you get into bigger tank and bigger sumps...the surface area increases. As the surface area increases the tank will cool off a lot quicker through evaporative cooling.
I have 2 heaters on min as my tank is in my basement where it is always around 68-75. If I didn't have them, my tank would definitely get too cold as it has happened during blackouts, even with my 3 halides, 2 return pumps and skimmer.
At night my tank gets down to about 78 and the heaters...
I am available afternoons and evenings. Just let me know when you can come by and I'll let you know for sure that I'll be here.
Hanover Pet is now Aquatic Visions. I'm only 5 minutes from there toward the center of town near Kraft Foods.
Here are some pics of the parent colonies. The colors in the pics are terrible. I need to get a macro lens for camera. Stop in and see them for yourself!
Orange Monti
Ora German Blue Polyp Digi
Ora Elkhorn Montipora
I wonder who that other member is ::)
Don't worry about the pistol killing anything...I've got my cleaner, a blood red, and many snails....never has hurt a thing.
Also, just be sure to check for which pistol is compatible with the yellow watchman....I thing the Tiger Pistol is...which is what...
Right now I'm torn on what CUC to put in my tank.
I know I want about 50-75 Nassarius Snails.
Now my dilemma is the last time that I had blue-leg hermits, they were killing my Nass. Snails.
When I had Astrea snails, they were killing themselves by falling off the glass or rocks and not...
Been there...done that!! It's nasty!!
But a mishap I had was have the bottom plastic trim on my 180 crack and having to pack everything I have into a 55 with no lights for about 2 weeks. That sucked!!
Hey Jim...I just went through your entire thread....Gorgeous tank!!!
How has the CBB and The Yellow Longnose done with the corals?? I've been afraid to add the CBB for that reason.
Why do I have to get into so many expensive hobbies?!?! First an expensive car!! Then a reef tank!! Now something I need to build a wine cellar for. :o :o
