john I did get it running, after a bit of effort with FORD, and it's a trooper!
I have just been so busy with work, THANKFULLY!, that reefing has been taking a back seat. Lot's of family stuff going on too.
My new shop heater is really helping out, but these icy cold temps are giving me fits. I can bearly uncover the reef except during max warmth periods of the day! Last couple of days those are less than 78 degs!!!!
As soon as I can I will frame out a false wall and make a fish room out of the holding system. Unfortunately I need other things to slow down, and the demands of the holidays are not helping!
I was in the "bubble" this week and realized that I am missing my female o. clown!!! :-[
No possible idea where she is, but she is gone!
My SPS still look great, even though my CO2 just emptied! My sun polyps look like the cooler temps are taking thier toll! Otherwise it's all good!

All I know is the male is glued to the frog spawn and she is MIA!
I wonder if she jumped at the same time the coral beauty did and I just did not notice ???
The CB tends to hide under the frog spawn in the rockwork when it wants cover and that is where he jumped from, so....?

Phil
Thanks hope your holidays a great too!
Brandon
The ba#*%!d finally got me new heater, even so it is chilly in the shop and my system is literally in the shop!
Jim
I am really not up on treating marine fish. But Pop Eye is generally treatable, ask Dr Jim in his forum for some ideas.
And buisness picking up is a great thing!!! ;D

Happy New Year to all!
I've been due to post some pics for for a while so here's a bunch!
This is the old defunct behemoth of a heater that is now gone.
Even with the new heater, I have to keep quite a few layers of Styrofoam, plastic sheeting and blue tarps draped over the system to keep it at stable temps.
Soon, very soon, I'll address an enclosure and minimize this craziness. It makes it very difficult to access the system on a daily basis, so basically ... I don't. I go in about every other day at the heat of the day to feed and check on things, but do little maintenance. :-\ So, this has to change!
Here's my 120 set up at my friend Scott's house. After some consideration, we did not recess it into the wall. it will be skinned with sheetrock to give it a built in look. The T-5s are over it now but I need to go get a pic of them.
This a 50 gallon fuge
And my old 30 g sump, a manifold we put together, with Scott's new Eshops skimmer

Here's some coral pics, first the frags!!!
In the 90g, there are three frag racks, and they are brimming!
A gomezi frag I got from OG. I was told it's a slow grower but that does not seem to be the case. Looks a lot like my torts!
In the foreground is a pearl berry and behind it a borealis that bootnbob was kind enough to bring me back from MACNA!
I rarely frag the blue prostrata except by accident!
This was a small piece of Miami orchid, it's now a frollony
I also rarely frag the torts, but this is a nicely growing piece from the ORA cali tort.

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax
These are some of the bigger pieces still on the racks ...
These two blue accules pieces have really grown a lot. I am beginning to think it's the longer MH cucle I've been running since it got colder.
Pokerstar really laying down some growth across the acrylic.
Purple haze, growing to the the nana frollony next to it and taking a beating but alsoo puddling well

Happy New Year! And Thanks!
The corals and fish look good, but there's still no real diplay to look at. In the long run though, it is still OK as I have learned many limitations of this building that I would never have anticipated if I'd just jumped in back in July. There will be some display(s) soon!!! Promise!!
