yea, still waiting on Dell to send me my new computer, and can't upload pics untill then. 7-21 buisness days is a dang eternity. They are touchy enough about letting me loose on computers at work as it is.
Clean up crew is doing a very nice job, nice not to have to clean the veiwable sides of the tank more than once a week or so. The serpant star has actually been surprisingly active and visable. I usually see him every other day or so. Still haven't seen hide nor hair of the Dwarf angel. Hope he's in there somewhere alive. Hopefully there will be some money left over from my next check to add a half dozen or so shrimp/goby pairs. Then back to upgrading lighting and the like. I still want to add about 1000 watts of T-5's over the tank
I reduced my water change system to 55 gallon barrels for now. 55 gallons once a week is about a 20% change a month. I just don't have room for the 250 gallon tanks I wanted to use. I need to find some narrower and taller ones. I have such a light bio load for the moment that I think that is more than plenty. Slowly getting coraline everywhere, including the sump which just has 4 old 6500K t8 bulbs over it. Kind of surprised it would grow in that little light. Still not running an ATo either so thats a nightly process, about 5 gallons a day. I'm due for new filters AGAIN... sure can burn through them at that rate. I've covered the tank as much as I dare without running in to heat issues, and I'm hoping to avoid the need for a chiller.
