Quiksilver's Ultimate 29g Tank Thread

[quiksilver]

Well I ran out of live blackworms for the David Copperband a few days ago and so he's been on hunger strike. I stopped by the LFS today and they were out. So in hopes of finding something frozen he would try, I grabbed some frozen bloodworms.

I get home and David and I had a little chat before I dropped any in. I told him that he was going to have to eat these if he wanted food for the next few weeks as I don't know where to get live blackworms when my LFS won't stock them.

Welp, I guess I was right with my assumption that it would be an easy switch from live blackworms to frozen blood worms. David Copperband is a bloodworm eating maching.

Also I got tired of the small patches of cyano regardless of my perfect water parameters. I treated with Chemi Clean last night and UV sterilizer, Magnavore reactor with carbon and skimmer have all been shut down for the next 48 hours. My new saltwater is ready for the change and has been mixing for 24 hours already. The cyano is already almost non existent.

Pictures to come when I get time (Series 7 attempt 2 tomorrow, wish me luck).

Congrats on the frozen blood worms and good luck with the test.

I'm also thinking about using chemi clean on my tank!!! I just did a water change and had to syphon out a ton of sand because of cyano. Although I'm very reluctant on adding any chemicals to my tank.

Thanks all!

I was too man cause I never use any chemicals. Get the Blue Life USA Red Slime Control. It's better than chemi clean and it won't effect anything but the cyano if you follow the instructions. I just used chemi clean cause I'm trying to get rid of the rest of it. I promise you your sand will look like a million bucks when your are done.

So...Evan...are you ever going to post some new pics of your tank or what? What do we have to do? Beg??

Thanks, I used Blue Life's Aipstacia Control when I first set up my tank and it worked great. I'll give the Red slime Control a try.

Well i guess i am wayyyyy behind but better late than never i am only about halfway through the #26 and almost needed to purchase a new ipod after learning the PBITAWA phrase. Nice documentation on the whole thread, look forward to the new project in the works as well. Good luck to you today on your exam.

 

[melev]

Everyone: Now is the time to use your Jedi mind tricks on Evan so he'll pass this stupid test. He has to pass it. He must pass it. He will pass it.

Let's fill his thread up with good positive thoughts for the next seven hours. That way if he passes, I get all the credit, yet again. :lol:

 

[andyjd]

Yeah Evan you can do it!!!

 

[kar93]

Good Luck Evan!!!! May the force be with you

Not a huge fan of Adam Sandler movies, but one of the lines fits for Evan today

"Man, You Can Do Do It!"

 

[tbone28]
