\Clownfish/ 29 Gallon BioCube Tank

Major trauma at the hospital?

Don't think I've read it anywhere, and if you don't mind me asking, what do you do for work?
 
I think I missed a few corals oops! Wish the camera could capture the color on these corals

I work as a transporter and accountant for the hospital here is Des Moines, IA which is known as the best trauma center in the area. Yesterday we had a shooting downtown and I had to take the patients to go get a CAT Scans. One patient in particular started dying on me, I had to get him off the cart and start chest compressions and use the AED twice on the guy. elevator looked like a murder scene from the loss of blood. It took about an hour for the elevator to be fixed. Im glad the guy made it :bdaysmile:
 
Wow Clownfish. Your tank has come a long way. You have done a great job.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing.

\Clownfish/ i just wanted to say thank you for making this thread. I'm just starting my Biocube 29 and going through the cycling process using the raw shrimp method and my parameters and cycle time went almost identical with yours. Definately gave me more patience knowing I was on the right track. Great thread man!

You are welcome :) I can't wait to see how your tank turns out :celeb2:
 
Wow! Tank looks great. Question on your Zoas. Did you pop them off their frags and glue them down to the rock?

When I first receive them I place them low and then place them where I want with plugs still attached, once they are use to the light I remove the plug so it looks more natural.
 
Depending on the frag and what the zoa is attached to(more often then not, they are attached to a small rubble rock glued to a frag plug), I usually pop them off the plug and glue to my rock. If they are growing on the plug and not a small rubble rock, I just cut the end of the plug off and glue the top of the plug to the rock.

Any new coral always goes in my sandbed in a low flow area to get acclimated to my tank. After a few days to a week(depending on how lazy I feel that week) I start moving them around to find where they like it best. Within a few hours of moving them you can usually tell if they like it where they are placed.

You know clown, its kinda of funny how we both started the exact same tank basically the same exact way, at nearly the same exact time, with nearly the exact same equipment, but now 5 months later our tanks have taken a drastic turn in different directions.
