Fsurocks99's 40 Breeder

[Fsurocks99]

Haha, well done with tidying up the wires. :thumbsup:

A water pump upgrade is always worth - particularly for an SPS tank.

Thanks sahin! An upgraded driver as well as the possible addition of another vortech were in the back of my mind when I organized everything...as you can see there's just enough space between the mp10's and mp20's drivers for another.....man this hobby is a money pit!!!!!!!! But we all know this......

Actually let me know how you like the flow in your tank with an MP40 if you decide to get an MP40 or upgrade to one.

Your tank is similar size to mine, and I think I am going to sell one of my MP10's and replace with an MP40.

Yeah I'm not sure if I will or when I would. I'm going to have to recover from my most recent purchases first...but let me know if you do decide to sell one of your mp10's...

Thanks! Yeah I'm looking forward to the Glowstick growing out. That piece is as neon green as you can get! The yellow deepwater is a Caroliniana for sure, but I have no clue what the other is. My best guess is something like a Northern Lights, if I had to put a designer name too it....

I'll get some new FTS's up after work. I haven't had as much vertical as I've had horizontal growth. I'm loving the new equipment, especially the controller. My temperature, pH, alkalinity, and magnesium all have been stable, 79.1 degrees, ~8.1, 8.7 dKH, and ~1400 ppm (a little high for my liking), for about a month now and I'm really seeing a huge difference in color and growth! Which is also reflected in my Ca dosing because I seem to be increasing it by 10% every week.

Thanks man! Yes I noticed you were....I'll try to keep em coming.

 

[Fsurocks99]

Looking forward to tomorrow! I have a few additions coming in. I've had one or more of these in all of my tanks, so I have been searching everywhere for some since I restarted this tank and I finally found a couple I couldn't live without, well there was more than a couple, but the price of two was too much of a swift kick to the...(that was for you Kasey :lmao to even think about getting more. I'll have some pictures of everything tomorrow. As long as ship well. Fingers crossed.

 

[kaserpick]

Clams? I'm on the prowl myself.

 

[sahin]

LOL well, post up photos of the new additions.

Maybe.......

Will do. But they come in tomorrow, so we'll have to wait....

Your right Kasey, I got a couple of insane maximas from Morgan. She had a couple of amazing shipments come in and I couldn't say no. I couldn't believe I got the ones I did cause she put em on Facebook and it was a frenzy to call dibs. I got really lucky! I also got Blue Dragon and Armor of God frags.

 

[kaserpick]

Nice! Looking forward to pics!

As a side note, can you frag clams? :hmm5:

What?! Are you high? Just kidding. That would be sweet though.

Everything looks great! The clams shipped extremely well! I'll have some pics up later once they get settled in.

Here's are a few teasers:

 

[Fsurocks99]

Ok here are some pics and you'll notice how special they are :lol::

Top Downs:

Front Shots:

Apparently, they change color! I told you they're special! So the front shots are more true to their colors, but none of the pics give justice to how vibrant they are...my lights are just too blue! Not sure if I'm going to place them on the liverock yet...


Also, my horny clowns (seriously, they have laid 6 times in the last two months) have decided they like a tiny cave behind the nem to lay their eggs, so they have been nipping at it all day. In response, the nem is slowly moving (hasn't moved since I got it, nearly two years) between the rock and the overflow. If it goes too crazy, it'll be coming out!
