AHA!

I said you were a troll, not that you were trolling. A troll is a thing, a person. Trolling is an action. If you really didn't know what I meant you would have said "I have no clue what a troll is." But you associated the thing with the action, leading me to believe you know exactly what you are and what you are doing.

BUT

I will say that your threads are the best thing on here, and I eagerly await your updates :) So troll away (or quite possibly you really are this reckless and oblivious... regardless), I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

I know what a troll is thought u said trolling sorry but I dont spend time name calling man im sorry if i made you upset im just trying to raise my saltwater tank. If my water is good and my fish are healthy and the few corals i have are sprouting I would say im doing pretty good but Im sorry you disagree =(
 
Oh and BTW Guys I havent forgot about the water test I think ill be going back to Creation soon to get it checked again I cnat find my sheet anywhere. i do know that I was zero 20 on nitrates and 0 on nitrites. My calcium levels were good and my salinity was ok but Matt reccomended me to raise it a little for the sake of the corals so +1 Mthomp =) and my alkalinty was at a 300 is what he said. Ph was a 8.4 so I did the water change for the sake of the nitrates not to rise. Im pretty sure it came from me getting fish happy getting that naso he makes alot of waste lol but its cool I am picking up a couple more turbo snails this weekend and thinking about getting a blenny for some good cleaning

Also, could we get another picture of your corals, the "sprouting" ones?

Here is a pic of my bluejaw trigger. I can never get a pic of him he runs everytime i come near the glass. Sorry guys it was the best pic i could get =(
 
Holy crap. When you said you went and got socks from the dollar store, you were totally serious!

First sweat-sock filter bags I've ever seen.
 
Reef safe trigger, sweat sock filter...you are groundbreaking, derrick :) I am truly curious to see this work!

Water looks cloudy still, though, in your pics. You say it's crystal clear in real life?
 
Derick. I am in love with your live rock. I have a couple of questions though.

How did you secure it in the tank?

Is it up against the glass? If so has that ever caused you any problems cause I wanna make pillars in my back corners.

And did you need to seed it with real live rock or did it cycle by itself?
 
Oh,

I just checked out the video of your tank on youtube.

Looks sick, but did you take some of the rock out for the video?

and that filter is a DuPont™ Quick Twist 3 Stage Drinking Water Filtration System – QT39000 Series Includes Two 7000 Series Carbon Block Filters & One 9000 Series Microbiological Filter

That is not an RODI system so whoever you bought it from should be expecting a beat down if they lied to you.

By the way, I love how you hid all of the powerheads in your tank. I need to get sneakier with my flow. Teach me your ways sensai.
 
derrik is that an extension cord i see draped over your tank? if so please do something about that. salt water is extremely conductive and you are putting your self in serious danger like this. I also hope you have things plugged into one of those gfi plugs. the size of your sump warrents a lot of extra caution because it will overflow if you have any kind of power outage.
