Brian's 270 Starphire

Taqpol,

Thanks for the info, but I am very lucky that my move is only 15 miles away. As for the corals that are encrusting I have come to the conclusion that it would probably be better for me just to chip them off the rock. I am sure everything will not survive but I am going to give it my best shot. Last move I did was about 2 or so years ago and I lost some of my prized fish. Going to try avoiding that at all cost. I have containers and heaters ready to go. I have purchased specimen cups and heat packs also. Anything that will not fit in the cups will be chopped down and someone will get a very special frag pack.....

I sure you will have no problems with your move. For me it was a bit different, for one I really didn't want or have to time to setup my old 90 gal. Along with moving over 100+ colonies. If you have the time to setup your old tank you should be just fine.
 
I should have the time. I am just going to take it all down and move everything into a stock tank. Move the tank and everything without putting the sand back in and set it back up at the new house. Putting the sand back in kind of scares me because I am sure there is some things in there that would cause a spike. Dont mean to sidetrack your thread. What has your tank been up to lately. Any updates, no new nippers?

The sand scared me too. That was one of the reason I didn't set anything up after the move.

No, new nipper for awhile... at least I think. The only new addition will be the naso for awhile. I have a few new corals coming in a few weeks, other than that just watching the corals grow :D.

I love watching corals grow. It's almost like Christmas everyday. I cant wait till noon hits and the lights come on, and I get to see what new growth I got. The past two weeks or so has been an explosion of new growth. What is that coral pictured above?

The green one is the ppt and the other one in the back is a tri-color.
 
Brian, you're tank is looking good. No signs of the valonia, did the Naso ever go after it? Your rocks look so nice, clean and covered in coralline, I wish mine would start to look like that! Where do you target your parameters (CA, ALK, MG)?

Thanks Dan! Under normal conditions I target Ca-420, alk- 8.5-8, and Mg 1350. I have been so busy lately I have been on top of things. Currently the tank is at Ca-460, alk- 7.8, and Mg 1160.

Great, that is about where I target my params also. Man your rocks look so clean, do you use a small powerhead or turkey baster to clean off your rocks? If so, how often?

I don't do much manual cleaning of any of my rock. Just a hand full of turbo snails :D.
