Re: Here's my 120
Well, after what seems like months of self induced Alk & Ca waffling, my params are finally back in line, or at least near enough in line that I feel like I can get back in a maintenance groove on that issue. Not without paying a price though I've lost several colonies that I've had for a long time. I was ablr to frag pretty much everything, but some are very small and have along way to go to get to where I was with them. But, my other corals are snapping back with better color every day and invasive algae is receding so it's all good for now.
Params yeterday afternoon:
temp 78 F
pH 8.28 (PinPoint)
dkh 10.6 (Salifert)
Ca 400 (Seachem)
PO4 0.01 (Hanna)
Mg >1250 (Seachem)
ORP 390 (PinPoint)
I'll be working on tweeking the dkh down just a tad and the Ca & Mg up a bit. Then, ... BACK TO PLUMBING! 8)

Re: Here's my 120
lol, I just sent you a pm asking what you had decided to do about the new tank. I guess I got my answer. Congratulations on your new tank. I can't wait to see it set up. Have fun planning the plumbing.
BTW, you are right he is a PIG!!!

Re: Here's my 120
As long as the weather cooperates, I'll be going to pick up the new tank on Friday.
It'll be quite an operation, but I think we have a plan. The system I purchased will include the 96x30x30, a 60" sump (100g), stand & canopy (recently refinished), 4 x 400w MH lights, Dart return, and over 500 pounds of rock!
Since I already have about 500 pounds of rock in my 120DT/250 g system and in curing bins, I be selling off the most of the rock and I am scurrying to set up a large holding system. I am also scratching out a design for the big tank ans looking for a total system volume of 600 gallons I am hoping to complete the swap over a four week period, get it filled and cycled and then transfer in the live stock. First, I have to move the 120 !

Re: Here's my 120
She knows I am getting a "bigger" tank for the office.
... Which means a much smaller tank at home so in the long run, she'll be very pleased. The thought of a 200 g display in the family room plus the sump roon in the garage was starting to freak her out a little bit!
... :-* Love you honey!
