Hi, I originally volunteered to host an October meeting and will not be able to. Hopefully someone else can host that month.

Just a quick update, finally got the new tank and stand and transferred the inhabitants into their new home. So now this is a re-Build of a re-Build. I thought about getting out of the hobby after the leak, but was finally having some good success after setting up the tank two years ago. So I...

I’ll sign up to host August, I am right off exit 8A on the Turnpike

hi Herb, I would like a piece of the table Acropora, I can come over tomorrow after work. Please let me know if it is available...

New tank ordered, going with a 220 Gallon, 72x24x30. Should have it and the new stand after New Years. The Tupperware Setup should work fine for another month.

Last update of the weekend, temporary tank is running well with adequate flow. All livestock accounted for except for 1 cardinal fish. Whew, I lucked out that I was home and this was a long weekend when this happened.

Good luck with everything, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Oh man. So sorry, what happened?

Ok, all fish have been transferred, just not gettin enough flow out of the overflows so going to add a sump to collect more water to create more pressure to move the water down into the basement. There is about 25 almost linear feet of travel into the sump so it will take a different a approach...

Thanks for the feedback Diana. I actually have my sump and refugium connected In a similar way so I thought it would work.

Oh boy a lot of work and a couple design issues. Realized when putting the new tanks on the floor, the returns did not creat enough pressure to move the water into the basement sump. Had to raise the tanks up and did that a couple times to figure out a stable way to some return flow. I...

Moving day, moving the inhabitants to Tupperware Aquariums....

The Marine Epoxy applies to the low rim has worked pretty well. No more trickle but can’t leave it like that. Any recommendations where to buy a large Reef ready tank with overflows already built in?

Trouble in Paradise. Tank sprung a leak.....

Thanks Diana, I first got into the hobby in 2004 setting up this tank with marginal success. The tank got wiped out during hurricane Sandy and I shut it down for a couple years. Restarted it in Feb of 2017 so what you see is a tank that I started stocking corals and fish in around March/April of...

Time for a small tank update. All in all things are doing well and getting closer to the point where I can start doing a few frags and provide them for an up-coming njreeefers meeting. My major challenge has been battling cyano, I’ve been treating the tank with Chemi clean which has knocked...

Your tank looks great, good move on the Apex. Lookin forward to see those frags grow.

I test weekly Alk, Phosphate ULR, and Calcium - Hanna PH -API mag and Nitrate -Salifert Very happy with all these test kits.

Thanks Diana

Here is the link to my monthly update. Only thing to report is I finally was able to knock back the Cyano with three treatments of Chemiclean. The last one being a 30% stronger dose. Some of the corals were not happy after the last dose, but after turning the carbon and skimmer back on they now...
