davyjone - I really appreciate the compliments. There are tons out there that are very informative. I am glad mine is one of your favorites I only wish I had all the pictures from the beginning. I may figure out a way to do a recap somehow so you can see how far it really came along.
That would be cool. That's a nice looking fish. Hope it works out better this time. I just need to figure out what protein skimmer I'll use
davyjone - I think we will agree on this about a skimmer get the biggest one you can afford that is overrated for you tank size. That leaves you a little room for expansion. I love the skimmer I have and it pulls out thick skimmate continuously.
General Updates - Water Tests
I had a chance to do some water test today to see if things are turning around any. Phosphate some how has really crept up over the last few weeks and it explains whey some of my more sensitive corals have not fared well. I also think I need to change bulbs so I have turned my T5's off and placed an order for some new bulbs. I may change my MH later tonight or sometime this week. Its getting close to Black Friday so I will plan to order some new Radiums in November. My water results today were as follows:
- Calcium: 300 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.42 ppm
- Magnesium:1260 ppm
- Phosphate:.07 ppm
General Updates - Fish Updates
I did not bring my camera down to the basement to take any new pictures but the new fish is doing well. I almost have him eating pellets. He it repeatedly trying them but spitting them back out. I will start to soak them in Entice and see if I can get him to keep them in. I also started my five day treatment today. So by this Friday I will be done with treatment and will observe for another week or so. If I can get him to eat pellets before then I will be extremely happy.
