Hey dude! Nice to see you pass by here. :D

Hmm...my daily regime:

Just feed the fish 2-3 times. Eg morning it might be flakes, early evening some Mysis, and just before the lights go off, a mixture of foods (Mysis, flakes, Reef Roids, 1/4 cube of mashed Mysis occasionally etc).

Oh and taking a good look at the corals...make sure nothing is going to kill another acro etc.

The whole system is automated so I dont need to do anything else.

Weekly:

1. Replenish Top off water
2. Water change
3. Test Alk (test Ca every 2-4 weeks)
4. Make new Alk, Ca and Mg solutions if required
5. Any other maintenance etc.

An 8 bulb T5 with LED's sounds good. Be careful though, it is a lot of light!

What happened with your 50G? I bumped the thread a while ago but you werent around.

Start a build thread already! :D

Thanks. Still a long way to go.

Well this morning my Trochus snails have began to spawn again...the tank has turned SO MILKY its crazy!

They've been doing this for a while now and where I originally had around 7 of these snails, I now have around 13...

The Chromis have gone absolute nuts snapping at the water eating the eggs I think.

Just looked into my sump and there is froth floating around due to the snails sexual activities! :hmm4:

Some of the acros (mainly the Millepora and Tenuis looking acros) have crazy LONG Mesenterial filaments out!
 
Sahin, my dear buddy, I'm sending you your "World's Biggest Tease" coffee mug in the mail. Don't assault the postman :p

Just kidding :)

On other news...

Those damn snails on HEAT nearly caused the skimmer to overflow...lucky I caught it before it began to overflow. It looked disgusting too...all slimey stuff in the skimmer cup...I leave it to your imagination as to what it looked like as this is a family orientated forum...Yuk...:lol:

Whats an FTS?
Click to expand...

FTS - Full Tank Shot, a term to describe a front on picture taken of a reef tank capturing the entire display viewing panel and the living reef contained therein.

SFTS - Sahin Fantasy Tank Shot, a term describing the mental disorder whereby a delusional individual fantasizes about owning a reef tank to the point of actually believing they have a display when none actually exists.

If left untreated, severely afflicted individuals may even attempt to photograph their non existent fantasy 'tank', when the disorder reaches this stage there is little that can be done to bring the individual back to reality.


Hope that clears things up for you Kevin. :beer:

Thanks for the laugh matey. Seriously mate, you are one funny guy! Is it weird or a coincidence that I find yours and Bello's style of humour quite funny! :thumbsup:

As for my tank...well those stupid snails went absolutely crazy yesterday with their hormone driven activities...

The tank is still slightly milky looking, and the skimmer has lost its foamhead. I didnt feed the tank yesterday at all.

And worst of all...the sump/skimmer cup area stinks! Yuck!
 
That's crazy about your snails because as soon as i turned the lights on this morning all my Trochus went nuts in a mass release for about 45 mins. By the end the entire tank was milky white along with millions of tiny eggs looking like a massive micro bubble problem. I turned the skimmer off immediately and put filter cloth in the sump. After 30 mins i turned the skimmer back on and left the cloth in place. The tank was spotless and clear 4 hours after that. Snail eggs recirculate for ages if you don't use something like 100 micron cloth to filter them out quickly. Acro eggs are easy to remove because they all float to the top and go down to the sump where you just scoop the little pink dots off the waters surface with a fish net.

Kevin wants me to pass his note along about the FTS thing, don't shoot the messenger :reading:

Kevin needs to go back to school. :angryfire:

He also needs to learn manners. :angryfire:

His handwriting is atrocious and he needs to brush up on his alphabets...he also needs to be grounded from going out for at least 2 weeks. And no treats for a month for Kevin! :angryfire:

OK...let me explain...

I've had a nerve Tumour for the the past couple of years...its managed by medication to suppress the pain. I am lucky that its not malignant. However I was told by Doctors that I may get more...

A few weeks ago, I noticed a small lump on my left wrist... :sad1: Have an MRI scan coming up in 3 weeks...

Honestly, I was planning to post a video showing the whole tank etc...before I noticed the new lump I asked my brother to come round and do some recordings...we did some recordings and was planning to finish off and then upload etc...

I am glad that other than the tank needing daily feeding I dont need to do much else...thank god for all the automation on my tank.

When things are a little less stressful, I will be happy to share some updated photos and the clips my bro recorded.

I come online a lot lately because I love the hobby and its a way of an escape from everything else.

I dont visit the UK forum...I like this forum and the community here...Guys like Biggles, Bello and the others whose threads I follow etc. :beer:

So I am sorry I havent come up with the goods...I wasnt being a jerk :lol:

Apologies for the rather depressing post. :hmm2:

So...in other news...

Kevin sent me this photo of himself...apparently Biggles bought him the latest mobile phone...:lmao:
