What have you done with your tank lately?
- Thread starter VSpeck
- Start date
On the 120g SPS tank, cleaned skimmer, changed sponges, added new activated carbon, and tested parameters. Parameters in good shape:
Cal: 430
Mag: 1410
Alk:8.0
SG: 1.026
N03: 8.8
P04: 0.06
Temp:76.5
Added an unusual orangish Favites and a more unusual blue montipora with yellow polyps from Gateway Aquatics today. Saw that Hershel liquidated most of his SPS with Chad:lol:

Changed RO/DI filters, added new pods/snails, cleaned vortechs, added a bit more (dry/new) sand to DT, bought frozen food at Urzi's, had Gateway check my hydrometer and bought some Doc's from them. Whew! I am beat. Let's see, what else? Oh! Helped Nick set up the 29 so he's officially a reef junkie, too! :love1: It was really difficult but I sat back and let him 'scape it. It's pretty minimal rock work for my taste, but that's how he wanted it.
It's next to the 120/sump so we'll probably get a Lifereef overflow in the near future... :bounce1:I added a copule of zoas. Rastas and another small rock with about 10 heads of two different kinds zoas on it. The Rastas have two large polyps and three smaller ones. Lei gave me both for $50. Considering I've seen the Rastas go online and at other stores for $20-30 per polyp, I think I got a good deal.
I also changed out my fuge light. I had the old 48" 4 bulb T5 fixture from my old tank just sitting on top of my sump, with about 18" hanging off one side. Yeah, it looked TOTALLY professional. The only thing growing in the fuge right now is Xenia that I pulled from my display. But when I pulled the T5, they started to die off.
Just picked up a small hang on aluminum light and got a 5000k LED light bulb. Whole thing cost me $25. Now it's time to put some cheato in there.

Okay, I'm confused (granted it doesn't take much) but is there such a thing as a 1/2 solenoid?

Okay, I totally read the original post wrong, I thought you needed two and a half solenoids, not two 1/2" solenoids. Told ya it doesn't take much to confuse me. :crazy1:

As do I,my sump is going to be about 15ft. away from my tank so Im going to need a second eb8 to put by the tank since the one I have now will be set up at the sump.
