Thanks all!

I shoud add that I run both a 36 watt UV and 50 mg ozone units. UV is full time during the winter when heaters are running, only at night when it's warm. Ozone is 3 -5 hours a night depending upon ORP readings.

Thanks Again!

Re: Here's my 120

I was playing around with my simple 2 1/2 gallon aquarium/top down veiwing box and took a few picks, well a bunch of pics anyway here are some that I liked.

Lucky jade from the swap ;D

The slowest growing colony I have, a gemmifera

The fastest growing coral in my display, a pink & purple mili from stan

My birds nest also from stan, finally taking off

A stoli just begining to fan out nicely

A blue tort over a pink pocci

And a close up of the tort

One of these days I'll learn how to work this camera ... for now these are some of my better shots :

I'm predicting a large April meeting. Just a hunch. Can't wait to see your system in person, Bax!

Re: Here's my 120

Thanks Phyl!

I am looking forward to showing off to people who don't look at me like I am nuts!

Re: Here's my 120

Great pics Bax ... you should enter the March POTM.

Re: Here's my 120

Bax, what kind of Salt do you use?

 

[Baxreefs]

Re: Here's my 120

I use IO

I was always low on Ca until I hooked up the reactor, even with dripping Kalk, and I still dose Mg with water changes. I also top off through a Kalk mixer now. But IO has been around for ever and it's reasonably priced for a staple in the SW hobby that's rare. So I use it.

Re: Here's my 120

A sad non-reef related note. Sammi, my 17 1/2 year old springer spaniel, constant companion to my kids since they arrived from the hospital at birth is gone.

She was truly a man's best friend and will be missed.

Re: Here's my 120

Bax, that's really sad. I'm very sorry for your loss.

 

[Baxreefs]

Re: Here's my 120

Thanks Mike it's kind of funny, the only digital pics I could find on my computer were ones of her sleeping ... but I guess when we get to be 100 and something years old, we'd be lucky to still be napping too!

Re: Here's my 120

Sorry for the loss Bax.

We have a 14 year old springer/lab mix and I dread the day she goes.

When I had my bypass surgery a few years ago, she never left my side until I was fully recovered.

Re: Here's my 120

Thanks blandge3
That is one inherent trait of springers, they are real care givers if anyone was sick in the house Sammi was always with them. She also shepherded our two girls (now 14 & 10) around the house when they were little like they were her sole responsibility. Great family dogs!
It was a real heart breaker for the kids.

Re: Here's my 120

Sorry for the loss Bax. Hopefully the kids are doing well.

Re: Here's my 120

Sorry for your loss, Bax. :'(

Re: Here's my 120

Thanks guys we're all sad but getting by. None of us can go in the family room, that was Sam's domain.

Re: Here's my 120

Bax, I'm so so sorry. That made me cry. I can very much relate because we lost our older Berner in January. :'(

Hugs to you and your family.
