New Table Acro pictures

[lookout888]

Well here are some pictures of my new table acro. This was 5 mins after I took my hand out of my tank from putting it in there. It took about 1.5 hours to get it where I wanted and to get the epoxy to dry. Here you go..

Cool I am glad it is working good now. Question, is there a local place to get gate valves? I tried home depot but they only had ball valves in pvc.

There is a place off of 12th that has everything but I cant remember the name. What size do you need? Did you tryAquatic Eco

 

[lookout888]

I have not tried anything yet. The pipe's O.D. is 1 9/16 Inch. From what I read The ezest way is to get 1.5 inch and use a Rubber sleeve with zip ties to change it to a standard size.

Table acro update.

So the polyps have not come out all the way. Everynow and then I see them out alittle but have yet to see them fully out. All other corals are fully extended in tank. Is it still getting used to my tank? Should i try removing the powerhead from ontop of it? Or should i just leave it be?

Mike

You might try Crowder Bros. on manatee for gate valves.

SHHHH don’t tell anyone actually I don’t do anything. Just auto top off through kalk reactor. Water changes what are they

Very very VERY bad day here. The table acro came down with a case of rtl (Rapid tissue loss). I got some iodine and dipped it in. I went to break off the pieces that had the tissue loss and the whole thing broke in about 20-30 pieces. I have them lying all around my tank hoping at least one lives. In the process of putting the frags around my tank my one monti cap (brown/ purple polyps with green) broke about 4 inchs on 3 levels Did I say today is not a good day.

Well I hope tomorrow brings better luck.

Mike Sorry to here this...You may never know what caused this.
"SHHHH don’t tell anyone actually I don’t do anything. Just auto top off through kalk reactor. Water changes what are they"
I think I see weekly water changes in your future though. REally it does make a difference. Not only have I started water changes, I have been doing 10 gallons instead of 5 gallon changes.
For PVC stuff esp. valves try P-R Distributers in sarasota. It is the place off 12th Greg was mentioning...

Thank you Scott,
So far i only see one peice that is still losing tissue. I am going to take it out and redip it, and try again.
