Seriously - Dan and I were up for the Hellbender tank and we stopped by the reef - tank looks great, but we felt bad for the fish. Never really saw emaceated fish before.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14620104#post14620104 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Piazzon12
hey Jerry, just a reminder, have the zoo to double (or even triple) the amount they're feeding... and if we havent already, order fans for the lights, and an impeller shaft for the backup skimmer (whoops)

Hey guys i just found this Southern Tier section on RC, and is this tank at a Zoo? I'd be very interested in seeing it sometime. I'm from the Elmira area, and i'm working on reading through this thread. I think it's a wonderful idea what you guys are doing! I feel that a beautiful reef tank inspires so much creativity for the people planning it, and it provides all the "viewers" a since of conection with the ocean, and a great learning device about diversity and nature!

Finnyas Reef (St James and Geo) have kindly offered to donate seahorses to the zoo. They are trying to locate some and I will let everyone know when they are found. I also will be ordering a bunch of inverts for both tanks including snails, hermits, a cleaner shrimp and the zoo gave a green light for a harlequin shrimp to see if that can control the asternia stars. So there is not a ton to do yet. The zoo does want to go back to two part additives since the keepers find the Kalkwasser dosing system more trouble. They indicated a willingness to do more maintenance including water testing, adjusting chemistry etc. They would like us to keep doing the monthly water changes.
The other things we need to do is repaint the sides of the seahorse tank, and clean out the calcium deposits from the main pump impeller and impeller housing that may be contributing to the vibration noise. I also will order new lamps for the 180. Thats all I can think of off hand.
