Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax
Well Jim, it looks as though my vacation luck has run its course.
My yellow tang was looking ickish, but eating well when I returned Saturday. He ate well Saturday, Sunday, seemed skittish Monday, but that is the norm for him. Yesterday though he was hiding, not eating and not even attracted to food. This morning he was DOA when I arrived :-\ .... Bummer!
The YT was my first tang I ever kept. I really did not want one in the 120. But my wife did, so she got it, as always, and he really turned me on to tangs in general.
The henioucus still looks ickish too, but is eating like a horse. I am treating all nori & frozen foods with garlic guard & Brightwells AminOmega vitamin goo. Nasty looking stuff, reeks of fish oils, but the fish love it! Drives em crazy! It is supposed to be good for the corals too.

I got it at the Animal House on Rt 23 in Butler near the Burger King & Stop n Shop. They stock Brightwells stuff, but only stock small sizes and only restock monthly it seems. So you have to be lucky to get what you want. It is hideous stuff, but the fish love it and you can see them fatten up before your eyes!

WOW!
I am a slacker!
I can't believe I haven't updated once this month!!!
Everything looks pretty good.
Just been working on chem stability. Not very well I must say, my Alk & Ca are both a little low right now. I have yet to put the Ca RX on line and I just ran out of addative. :
My RBTA split, (Probably due to low Alk!) the clone went to a good home today and a couple of new frags went into the frag racks!
I had a friend over who does a lot of framing and he had some good ideas on how to make access for the 375, without ripping the door frame apart. He also said he'd help do it! So, I have much to think about on that issue.

I think you only have a year to set up the 375 before they change the thread title back! ;D
The 'nem got settled in beautifully and then decided to go walkies . I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Couple of tense moments while the CBB and especially the Yellow Longnose eyeballed the anemone trying to figure out if it was food. Nobody bit, though, and I fed extra-heavy so they wouldn't get hungry.

Thank you lefty831
So, I've been resisting setting up the Ca RX and have been dabbling with dosing. But, after a swing thru low Alk and Ca, due to my own actions, inaction, or general stupidity, I broke down yesterday and set up the MTC Pro Cal reactor.
In the past it has been real finicky to adjust as it seems many Ca reactors are. I cleaned it up a bit, rinsed the media, cleaned the pump, and cleared a spot for it. I set it back up and plugged in the solenoid and with a little minor tuning, it seems to be running perfectly.
Luckily, the corals all look very good and the only side evident effects of the the low Alk has been an RBTA split and relatively poor skimmer performance which has livened right up with the reactor comming on line.
If I try dosing again, and I do plan to, I will invest in a multi channel dosing pump first. I, am apparently unreliable

Well, a little over a week with the Ca RX back on line and my params are rock solid again. I finally lowered my MH lights a bit, I'll probably lower them again next week to get them about where they were before the move. I finally found the box with all my Tunzes in it, so I got some real flow back in the 90 & 75!And, as a result of all of the above, my corals seem extatic! ;D
My nem split, again ... anyone want an RBTA?
I took a bunch of pics yetsterday, but now I can't find the connector cable thingy :
