Sonicboom's 180 build in Tampa

[Sonicboom]

Lol, I have the feeling it may be a leak but I'll leave it up to the tech in the morning. Kids can't reach the thermostat. But I did check everything again.

Wish you the best, sounds like you have it under control. That refig top off is paying off big!

Let us know how you make out...

 

[Sonicboom]

Yeah the frig is worth it's weight in gold right about now..lol

 

[Sonicboom]

So 2 lbs of R22 a complete cleaning of the unit a fan blower motor and capacitor, I now have air coming out of the register upstairs at 57 degrees. House was up to 86 degrees before he finished and tank got to 81

Did they find a leak?

 

[Sonicboom]

I didn't want to pay extra for a dye test so just refilled until I replace the entire unit. It's already 15 years old.

If its a tiny leak it could be good for a few years. Glad you are back up.

 

[Sonicboom]

So far it's frigid in here, had to turn thermostat up to 79. I plan on replacing the system this winter hopefully.

Just got one of the cobalt aquatics ext 800 inline pump. I wanted a way to remove detritus from the sump and overflows between water changes and without tearing out the drains. I out the output into a basket coffee filter and it was clean in about 30 seconds.

I should have done a before shot but we all know what a sump full of detritus looks like..lol
After shot.

Hey Sonic, my AC went out a month ago. Living in the Phoenix area it got hot real fast. I know how you felt when the air came back on blowing cold. Glad that it's fixed.

 

[Sonicboom]

Thanks Benson, yes it was a great relief to have it going again with no incident.

Reverse superman

Green echinata

Blue Oregon tort was still hard since it's blue.

Pink stylo?

 

[iced98lx]

like the reverse superman

 

[Sonicboom]

Thx! That one started off as a 1"x1" frag from newbie aquarist. One of my first corals into the tank.

 

[Sonicboom]

Not sure how I spotted this guy but found a tiny star fish. Seems to just be grazing the rocks.

 

[ghellin]

Asterina starfish, most are harmless ( I keep a few thousand) a harlequin shrimp will wipe them out if you are wanting to irradicate them.

 

[Sonicboom]

Haha, OK I will keep. It's just been grazing which I am OK with.

 

[ghellin]

I love them, some people freak out. They are free cleanup crew IMO, if you look closely you will see that they almost rarely have all 5 legs like that, they replicate through division so usually you see half a starfish.

 

[Sonicboom]

Just wondering how it got in the tank since I haven't added any corals since reefapalooza. I thought It was from my linkia.
