Slow and easy....Mr. Armondo. But since Rogger is donating to your tank, I guess I could kept the corals I have been babysitting? LOL....Just Kidding!!! But now that the upgrade on my tank is done also We could take apart the coral nursery.
Oh and remember to come and help me set up that return we discussed. Thanks Hommie....

looks great, i love all the nooks and crannies in the rock work

 

[gasman059]

great job!

 

[jessp]

had to cut that last post short boss walked in.

Looking awesome are you still using the t5 setup? I like the new rockwork a lot looks real good and i'm sure a few gobies running under the rocks will look cool.

Is the closed loop setup working yet? i noticed you have a mj in the tank?

 

[Abengochea]

Thanks guys yeah Im running T5's and love them. I dont think ill go to MH, at least not for a while. I setup the closed loop and it was working but the dart had a little leak that was bothering me so I turned it out and sealed the leak but I have to give it some time before running water through it again. So the maxijet is there temporarily

 

[REDDAWG43]

I told you the rock work would come out fine....
call me later, tonight I am going to put the corals in the 65g tank.
Hey you sure you don't want a rose anemone? Its free.....

Armando,
what are you using to cover the return bulkheads on your closed loop?

 

[Abengochea]

I am using jacuzzi covers. they fit on the 1.5" bulkheads and are as close to flush with the glass as they get. http://www.spacare.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3796

 

[Abengochea]

Thanks again Rogger for the donation let me know when ur available since I know u have a hectic schedule.

Armando,
Did you mix your own water in the tank or did you mix the salt water right in the tank or did you mix it in a separate container and add?
thanks.

[REDDAWG43]

Hey Jess, I went with him to get the water at a LFS.
It's natural seawater......

 

[jessp]

ah that must have been fun

 

[REDDAWG43]

lol....2 trips and many containers

 

[jessp]

I have to do the same thing but instead i bought an ro/di and i have new filters coming today so i am gonna make my own. I have my tank on third floor and i'm afraid that after so many trips up and down stairs i may have a heart attack.

 

[Abengochea]

If ur going to mix ur own and not put anything live in for atleast 24 hrs.... then do it in the tank. Thats how i did it the first time I ever setup. Fill the tank with water first and then add salt.
