Thanks again for all the kindness!
 
Hello all,

Well I was going to wait until November the 1st to post anything cause it just seems like a monthly update is just fine, but I might not have the time since I am getting married on November 17, 2007. Frag gifts are welcome ;) j/k

Here are a couple shots ( thanks to CONSTANTNE )with his camera, and some others from my camera just to post an update. All my parameters are fine with the exception of my PH which likes to dip below 8 just a tad at night. Does not seem that I can keep the PH over 8.15. I am going to add some cheato shortly once my light comes in for the back chamber. I was first going to see if an airstone did anything to check for high levels of CO2. However, a cheaper alternative being the cheato will tell me the same thing.

I hope this message finds everyone well and having as much luck if not more as I am with my nano. Challenging.. YES, Fun... Hell Yes!

Enjoy! See ya next month :)
 
Thanks for the reply JF. Still hoping I can get a piece of that micro from ya some time in the future. Thanks again for the reply.. Appreciate it.
 
Mynd you will. The thing is about the size of a silver dollar if I cut you a frag now it will be about the size of a bugger. LOL
Haven't seen you on the SB is everything ok?
 
actually it is just going.. Parents are old and mom got damaged last weekend, miss the party, dealing with last minute wedding things, still don't have a full time job and I already left 4 of my regulars.. times are just a little tough right now and with the exception of a few people ( like yourself, pnoy, CON and some others, don't feel bad if your name was not mentioned ) I just don't really have anything positive to say. The tank is keeping me happy so far. Just some tough times.. Don't mind me..

But thanks for asking.. I appreciate the friendship.. :)

Thanks for the positive words Steve, and everyone :D
 
Sweet update Mynd.

Beautiful 'Crush frag!

Tank is looking "happy". Just keep looking at your happy tank now and then. I'm sure it will help you through this rough patch. Very therapeutic, no? ::)

Hang in there. I hope things start looking better real soon.

Take care.

Richie

Mynd sorry to hear about your mom, I hope she feel better soon.
Keep it together weddings are a pain in the arse. Will drive you insane if you let it get to you.
What are friends for? Hang in there bud.
 
Thanks for the pics. Love the crush and the 2 new fish!
Gratz on the November 17th wedding, I just finised all my bookings and mine isnt even till June 29th, 2008. For the money we spend........coulda each started a 850g starfire tank, am I right?
Im just glad I get the moorea/bora bora honeymoon outta it so I can snorkle right off my deck.
When I go through stresses with the parents/wedding/job I starte at the tank with a few beers and blow off an evening to relax helps me. All the best Mynd.




p.s. you getting married anywhere in NJ? PM me if you dont mind.
 
Hey Mynd,

Thanks for starting this thread...I love these sort of reality TV tanks.

The orange crush is a beauty.

Sorry about all the stress at the moment, hope it all works out. You certainly seem like a good guy.

I started a fuge in the back of my AP24 used an LED bar just above the water it has made a tremendous difference. I run it oposite my main tank lights so the PH stays stable like you are thinking of doing ... With the chiller you have a lot more options. By the way if you look I started a post with my LED lights just to show it. The guy on ebay will give you a 10% discount if you use my email jrwohler@aol.com. If you cannot find the thread let me know. I have had it running for about 3 weeks ... I pulled the macro algea to siphon the rubble in the chamber and the growth looked good for what it is worth.

Thanks for the thread and the kind words before, you did a great job here and in the tank.
 
Thank for the kind words guys.. yeah things can only go up from here right :/ On a better note yes twan I am getting married in Elizabeth NJ at the St. Nicholas Church

668 South Broad Street
Elizabeth, New Jersey
908-354-1384

and yes we could have bought a couple really nice tanks for what this costs and you know what? My wedding reception ain't nothing special. A place to eat food, drink and have some cake.. I don't have a DJ and we are not having that whole announcing thing and dancing like chickens or whatever.. Just my family and a couple friends.

Hey JR,

I posted on that fuge a minute ago.. Thanks for the positive attitude it is always a good thing. I love my AOC Acan. Amazing animal. :D

Have a great day everyone.. be well, drive safe and stay happy :)
 
I have a ton of egg crate ... the small 3x5 sheet from Homedepot .... you want some? I could bring it Saturday if you are going.
 
Thanks very much JR, but I just gave some of what I have to CONSTANTNE, so I don't need any at this time. I do appreciate that kind offer though as that stuff is not that cheap.
 
Hello Hello

Today is November the 3rd 2007. I just have a small update. I did a nice water change today and added a couple new frags from my Pnoy. I am going to show you those frags and one older one that has come a long way. I was able to take these shots during the water change from the top of the tank down and not through the glass.

I know it ain't much, but its progress. :D
