Any improvement is better than what my tank looks like now. I ordered some more CUC members and some sea lettuce for my fuge. We shall see how it goes.

Do you plan any changes to your rockwork?

Those rock pieces yield many options.

I see Japanese Pagoda shapes and cantilevered ledges.

I see awesomeness waiting to happen...

I'm going to play around with the rocks a bit. I do have an issue with moving the rocks around. My sebae anemone is firmly planted to a lot of the rocks. I also want to play around with attaching some of the green star polyps to the glass, but I'm not sure how I'll like that if I'm successful.

Your tank has potential out the a$$.

Think different.

I just got the tracking info on my skimmer, salt, heaters and refractometer. They should be here on Friday. I plan on doing a good water change on Saturday and getting the skimmer hooked up. Looks like I'll be keeping UPS and Fed-Ex busy this week. hot.gif

Ever have any problems with your skimmer after a water change? My skimmer overflows every time I do a water change on my tank for some reason. No idea...

Hmm. I guess because I don't do that many water changes it must have thrown something off or stirred something up. Who knows. I know now to empty my skimmer cup and turn it off for a day or so after a water change. Oh well, one of those strange tank personality things. lol

I take my skimmer out monthly and clean the pump and skimmer real good so....... just a part of my monthly cleanning chores. All the pumps and power heads get taken apart and cleaned once a month. Makes for a rather long couple of hours of scrubbing. Then every 4 -6 months, I clean out the sump by suckin all the water out and wipe it down to get some of the bacterial slime of and salt.

 

*funny.... just as I was typing, my skimmer just started making a grinding noise, just turned it off and will leave off for a couple of hours.

So the stupid place I ordered my lights from put in the wrong shipping address. They left out a letter from my apartment number. They put a # sign instead of the number. What didn't they think I knew my address???? Grrrrrrrrr.

I'm getting really mad with them. I told them to change the delivery method to the hold at UPS option. They didn't understand that. Who knows when I will get the lights....brickwall.gif
