Just prop it up on the back of a couch or chair. Works just as good.

You have a cool tank, just wish we could see it clearly - stop shaking the camera !!!!

ahh, k

the camera is still.. the water isn't though.. Camera does not focus very well, to say the least

I added sixty pounds of base rock from hirocks.com today. Actually, I just finished doing it. Here is the finished product.

Note: the corals are mostly closed right now and the water is still cloudy.

Warboc, how often do you do water changes and how would it be done in a 75 gallon which I'll be doing soon. My dad and I plan on building the stand next week; can't wait for some father and son bonding time.

 

[Warboc]

I do an 18 gallon water change ever other weekend. I am probably goign to do a 8 to 10 gallon change on the other weekends now though, to keep calcium levels up and more stable.

 

[lessans]

So you do a 20% water change that makes it a 15 gal water change in a 75 gal. Does that sound like enough for everyother weekend?

Have you thought of adding shrimps? I can't remember if you had any.

I have one skunk cleaner shrimp in the tank. it is kinda shy but comes out more often now than it has in the past. I frequently see my tang, blenny, and goby go to it for cleaning.

 

[lessans]

you mean the shrimp attaches to them?

 

[Warboc]

They go to the shrimp and open their mouths. It picks and cleans inside their mouths and also in and around the back of their gills. It's really a lot of fun to watch.

 

[baka]

It's amazing!

my cleaner shrimp was all over my blue tang yesterday - i think it was the 10,000 miles service.

Warboc - what do you keep with the sand in the refuge in order to keep it reasonably clean?

I'm asking because there is a brown looking film growing over my DSB in the fuge now.

thanks

I have one huge turbo snail in my refuge. It keeps the glass clean. As for the sand, I can't even see it. I grew my caulerpa very thick and it is nto very packed in the fuge. That's just how I wanted it. There's lots of pods swimming about throughout it now.

 

[Gooli]

ok..thanks

 

[Warboc]

wish I could edit typos... That should read it is "now very packed"
