Tank being shutdown
- Thread starter cee
- Start date
I'll toss in a few extra bucks!
imsqueak,
Yeah it is funny how that works out... hopefully that pair does well for you, I'll just have to keep my eyes open for another pair that comes by or have CR order some up for me.
Hippo is doing well although it must be a little stressed because there are are a few little white specks here and there (gotta be ich) so am trying to figure out what I'll do (quarantine can be very stressful on tangs :/) because I'm not going to treat the tank with copper that would be just silly for corals and other fish!

Shrimp miraculously made it thru the FW dip. Then it went straight into the tank (I had no choice). It seemed dead but came back in to life in half an hour. Goby didn't come out of the rocks till the "reef dip", it didn't make it. Haven't seen the Randals goby since I put the rock in. I hope I didn't place a rock on him. Lots of stringy slime in the tank. Nothin is open. Both to be expected.
Thanks Dave

UPDATE
Dave, I think everything revived. I lost 3 out 4 PPEs. They didn't die, they were flapping in the current and I should have glued them down but one day all but one were gone. I'm hoping they found a spot that I cant see and next time I rearrange the rocks I find 8 growing on a rock.
I got new hinges, that helps SO much. I got new lights also, more or less the same as it had but I have an extra bulb to add more white if I want to.
I turn the lights and fans on and off at the same time (6pm to 6am on). The tank actually runs cooler with the lights and fans on than everything off (but high is still under 80*) I turn off the fan because of the amount of evap. You weren't exaggerating when you said you add about a gallon of top off per day! I'm still adding about that much!
One thing I don't like is the constraints that nanos have without chiller or sump abilities, and no skimmer with this tank vs a crappy skimmer w/ my RSM. I guess that just means I need to get into a better routine for water changes.

Did the Lord of the Ring palys make it? Angela gave me those, and I really liked them. I'm sure it will take awhile for the colors to recover, but you should have some nice zoas in there once they do. With that big fan blowing over the water, esp. in the winter, the evap rate is high. No skimmer was never a detriment to me, but I did do weekly 7 gallon water changes.

I cant ID a lord of ring from an Armageddon without looking them up, but I think the LOR are sitting front and center as my fav zoos - green, pink, purple, white mouth...
I have to clean my tanks and take some pics with a tripod. Lately, my Cannon A710 has not been taking focused shots. Hopefully I just have to clean the lense.
