thanks for the comps everyone.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to all

After a very busy season, I enjoyed sometime off, going back to Cape Breton for a few days for the christmas break.

I had a co-worker look after my tank while away, the ease of living relativity close to the aquarium during the holidays out weighed the inexperience with aquariums he had.

When coming home, I expected to fine things in not the best shape, and I wasnt far from wrong.

A purging skimmer, that must have spilt at least 3 cups of skim mate back into the tank, micro bubbles every which way, LPS and SPS bleached colonies, and brutal red algae.

I took some pictures to show before and after, things are getting back to normal, but still not ideal.

love the tank, sorry to hear about the bad luck with it while you were away,

Have you taken a couple of the yellow tangs out?

also how are you finding the flow from the vortec's in the boxes you made for them? happy or not happy with it?

 

[sahin]

Hi there. Your tank has come a long way. Even with the latest issue, its still looking very good.

Do you know what caused the problem while you were away?

 

[dvanacker]

Sorry to hear about your troubles but glad to see the tank recovering and still looking good....it definately could have been worse.

That pink prostrata is off the chain....er I mean its all that and a bag of chips....ahh...you get the point. very very very nice.

How long where you away for?

beautiful tank...

 

[johnteatro]

any updates?

well, i thought the tank would have made it to at least a year maturity, but only after 6 months, I am going to be shutting my tank down. Things are back to normal after the crash, but i am in need of a break.

I am going to take a year off from reef keeping and hopefully come back to it, with some new ideas for an awesome layout and something cooler than this tank.
i have a few ideas already, so its kinda exciting again.

but for now, that will be just on paper, and in the back of my mind.

anyways, thats about it, well see ya all around.
