Watching the news, looks wet up there. Are you still staying dry?

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Its very wet...But luckily we are high and dry. Hope no dike
breaks.

 

[jnarowe]

Man, don't even say that.

b-ionic is more then just cal/alk unlike BRS and what we make. I have had talks w/ the owner. Theres a salt i have been beta testing I am in love with. Its pricey but it is also cheaper then some salts. My sps love it.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Well I like it! But, I can't wait to get the geo reactor hooked up and running. I think I am going to clean my UV reactor tonight...anything special i need to do?

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Did some reorganizing last night to make room for the Geo reactors. I moved the ozone, carbon and phosphate reactors to the right side of the tank where i had a just enough room to fit them!

That gave me enough room under the tank for both the kalk and calcium reactors as well as the CO2 Bottle.

Slowly but surely I will get all the wires and such organized. This is what i decided to do with the tunze power boxes for now. it probably could be a little better, but atleast this way I can trace a cord to the right pump.

And last but not least a current tank shot...My acrylic is dirty so i could only get one okay picture. I did manage to get another moorish idol so the other one had a "buddy"...they seem to like to school with the banner butterflies in the tank too!

One other shot I'm not sure i have shown or spoke about yet. I am having an artist do a mosaic around the whole fish tank area...Here is what he has done thus far.

Wow, looking very good. Yeah that whole wire-tracing thing can break the brain. So how is teh AquaSurf performing?

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

works awesome! I have it pretty much on full blast all the time

 

[jnarowe]

That's great to hear. I really like that Curt was able to build a cross-over module and that Tunze worked with him on it. That really shows that both companies are really working in the best interests of their clients.

 

[benihana]

glad to hear you guys are dry...hopefully it stays that way, my fingers are crossed.

The mosaic around the tank looks pretty cool!

Good luck on the re-wiring!!

 

[lost in it all]

Wow! Your tank is amazing, I think I would be like a little kid in a candy store seeing it in person. Are you still charging $5 for tours?

 

[Dante_JoseCuerv]

Holy crap man, this is awesome! Funny enough, I was out in that area a few years ago, but I was with some friends...

Anyways, cool tank! Love the vlamingii tang.

 

[EleganceMan]

reefaquariumnut...
did you ever get that all in one hana meter?

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

I do like the mosaic, I think it will look really sharp once it gets grouted.

Yup, $5 a tour...Gets you a bag of popcorn too!

The Vlamingii Tang is my favorite fish in the tank...He lets me pet him and almost hold him.

I did not get the meter as I thought $1000 could be spent much more wisely on corals and fish and such.

You will have to let me know when you want help with anything on your tank I am always willing to help and to learn!

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

I am always looking for good helpers! Brady is leaving me next fall to Hawaii for school...Junk! just kidding buddy!

Well I am getting a whole pile of equipment today (Radiums, Geo's, Fans) and I am switching out my ACIII Pro to a Profilux...

 

[jnarowe]

You getting the 4-head Profilux? Why the change? I think I know why, but I am interested to heard your story.

BTW, did you get the media yet?

 

[lost in it all]

just let me know when you are working on it. I am free because of the flood yet. by the way my name is Adam.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

I will be back in town tonight and will let you know if media came. It was a number of factors that made me want to switch. I liked it for the most part, but the interference with my icecaps was irritating me and I search for answers to no avail. What do you mean by 4-head unit? The dosing pump?
