I don't have any right now. This week the wife is buyin the CO2 bottle so once I have time to put the Calk reactor together and on the tank I'll have more pic. I'll take pics of the process and tank shots too.

 

[Baron]

Oh get off you butt and get us some pictures Lonnie said you got that GEO reactor. George does great work on his stuff you will like it.

Any pics of the Ca Rx in action?

[StupidsReef]

Ah, no pics of it yet, The Ca Rx is hooked up and running though. I had to make a quick stand and it looks like Poo, Lonnie even poked fun @ me for putting in the fish room. I think he said I should be a shamed of it. I'm going to see if I can buy something that will do a better job and look better.

Yes Baron, it is a really nice looking piece of equipment & very well put together. Assembling it was not hard @ all, However I tested it tonight and I don't know what is going on. I stop putting in the drops when I got to drop #74 which converts to a Cal level of 1480!! Maybe I'm tired and did something wrong with the test. But either way the bubble counter has not stopped in 4 day's. It's hooked up to the PH unit and hadn't dropped below 6.6, so I slowed the drip rate down. I think I had it dripping into the sump faster than the bubble rate, so the solenoid wasn't shutting it down. Trial & error I'll figure it out.

Ok this is some UP-DATED pics of my tank now. Some of the corals are IM LON 2. He didn't take any FTS just close ups due to he's a bone head ??

 

[logiktest]

Haven't seen this thread in a minute... Everything looks great!

 

[Reeferhead]

Awesome Mike!

 

[DOTZ]

Great tank! I love the nems and clowns. Do the clowns get along even though they're different? I though box fish were not reef safe. Has he messed with any of your coral?

 

[Grace's Dad]

I thought the same thing. But I think it's because they can nuke your tank. Just like good ol stupid to be livin on the edge.

 

[Im Lon 2]

I was nerves about the 2 clowns being of different kinds.. but they actully play in the amenone together.. weird..

the Box fish is reefsafe. Yes there is a chance they can ink a tank. but I don't know that one has ever done that before.

today we found the box fish stuck in the power head and he did not ink the tank.

 

[StupidsReef]

Yes Lon is correct about the Boxfish. They are reef safe but "can" nuke the tank, however no one has ever had that happen. But the sad new's is that was the third time my Boxfish was sucked up and stuck to the power-head RIP my friend, as he didn't make it through the night. On the light note, he never inked in my tank. He was doning great for the last 6 months, then in the last week I found him stuck 3 times. Something must have been wrong internally??

Hey Jack, nice to see you around. It has been way too long. Hows the new bride.

 

[sirreal63]

I am still alive, not married yet but we are working on it. Nice to see this place still hopping. I work too much lately to enjoy mine, it has become an aips and algae farm. LOL

 

[StupidsReef]

Send the aips my way, my CBB loves them!! Sorry to hear of your tank issue's but still glad to hear that you at least have a tank!!

 

[sirreal63]

I have a tank only because Shana won't let me shut it down. It seems she gets her own enjoyment out of it.
