Buuuh Byyyyyyyyyye to Softies!!!

Anyway I traded off all my softies like mushrooms, gsp, yellow polyps, xenia, and Im starting off fresh.

I mounted these softies directly onto main pieces of LR and they were starting to take over my rock work. I really didnt like it.

I mostly be keeping zoos/clams/and SPS . Oh and a piece of frogspawn because my clowns like it. And anything that is not to much of a wildfire coral.

Well here is the main foundation of where my corals will go. I pretty much have all my equipment and I can finally start growing some corals and just enjoy my tank a bit more.

Tank specs.

Got 2 seio 2600's in for some strong gentle flow.

1.024 SG
Temp: 78F
PH:8.3
CA:420ppm- Seachem Kalkwasser RO/DI/topp off.
Alk:8
Amm:0
Nitrite(ate):0
PO4:5ppm working on it...

This was my last testing on the weekend.


Sorry for the cheap quality...I dropped the camera in the lake but luckily I was able to jump off the boat to save the camera before it went to deep. hehe.

Weeeirrd noises...1st time using cam since incident...

Sam...good job on the "three islands" - did u just stack up the rocks or did you glue anything or attach?

 

[818]

Woops posted an older vid of my tank...

I have the 3 islands but the one in the middle sticks out the water. The middle one was constructed of 2 huge Fiji pieces around 14 inches big, with small fiji and marshall to add some cool little features around them. The other 2 have aquamend to hold their weird postitioning together.

I also bought two barnacles(with blennies in them) and added them around the middle island to give it the high reef effect.

i will post more pics when I get home to show the final thing...I have the 2 seios in there and the middle piece of rock work is alot taller.

i've been using that aquamend to glue frags....didnt realize its strong enough to glue rocks together...i will give it a try

 

[818]

I actually used 4 stix just to hold together those 2 small islands. Its really a waste. But well see if it holds off in the long run.

whats your Mg level?.. everything else looks good.. you should ask eve about that phosphate stuff that he bought.. he said that his tank is reading 0 pO4 now...

how big is your temp swing? what salt are you using?

 

[Gisho]

Man, this sucks...my work computer is blocking all the pics/vids.
Anyway, really want to see how your tank is looking Sam.
Your param's look good. I'll have your sps frags ready for you!

Golan for frags the aquamend may heat up and destroy the frag.. use BSI IC gel.. works like a charm...

 

[818]

MG:1200, is this good?
Salt:Ocean pure salt
Temp:80F peak day MH+PC, 78F at night with lights off.

Its reading 0 already? How much did he dose? Thats freakin good...

Thanks guys.
