Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[JJ4417]

His avatar completely distracts me from reading...it really sucks when his post is every other. Takes me forever to get through a thread.

 

[jtarmitage]

:lol: You guys crack me up.

 

[jtarmitage]

I could always just start doubling them up.

 

[jtarmitage]

Why not make it a triple, just for good measure.

 

[JJ4417]

See...seriously...each message my eyes went left. Maybe I need to turn avatar pics off or something...even now, I don't hit the "submit" button cause I know she'll go away.

 

[jtarmitage]

True, but there is good news. You get taken right back to the thread after hitting "submit" and you get to drool some more!

Alright Jeremy, by the way, how hot did your garage system get today?

 

[jtarmitage]

81. I've got a 1/3h chiller on the system, but it currently vents into the garage. Was going to try and route it outside, but haven't gotten to it yet. I also have a 1/4h chiller that I could add on if needed, as well as a large fan than goes on and blows over the frag tank if it gets warm enough, which means it was on since yesterday morning!

I came home and my garage system was at 82. I guess I will need to get a small one just in case. I am also going to switch to different hours of light as well. I need to get a fan to blow across the sump as well.

I got my tracking number for my new tangs. I decided to come home and clean the quartz sleeve on the UV. This is the first time that I have done it since the tank has been up. I think it needed it

Yeah, I've got the lights off from 2:30-6 and back on for a couple of hours in the eve when I actually get to see it.
If you get desperate, you can borrow my 1/4h. But a fan would be a good idea. Do you have an ATO on that tank?

Thanks, I saw a 1/10th for $300 if need be. I do not have an ato, i just add a littl ein the morning when I feed and a little at night when I am making sure everything is ok. Its only a little over a gallon a day so far.

The tangs look great, they are bag floating in my work tank. I am trying to get out of here around 2pm to get them to their new reef

Probably a little later tonight. I am going to do a full picture update on Sunday. A couple of friends have been wanting me to send them some updated shots.

 

[mpoletti]

Its been a long day. I acclimated the rose into my work tank and with 4 hours, the gold bar maroons were safe in their new home

I just got home and I started acclimating the tangs; stay tuned. They look great and I also was able to watch the achilles tear away a strip of nori from the magnificent and swim away. I really thought I could see him smilling as he was swimming away

 

[kdblove_99]

Your latest shipment was from bluezoo?

 

[tbone28]

Mark, are they acclimated yet?
