STUPID STUPID STUPID So I had prepared the QT with water from the display earlier and was dripping the new Naso from the water in the QT... In the meantime I went out a bought a heater because the old one would not shut off. While I was out a picked up a 3" PVC tee and elbow so the Naso would...

Got my first ever live fish delivery this morning. Left Florida yesterday at 6:12PM and arrived this morning at 10AM. Naso has a few white blotches on it but otherwise looks ok. It is dripping in a 5 gallon bucket right now and is already starting to color up and look better. I will get a better...

Another crappy video

Made a trip to the LFS today..... This is what happens when you talk tooooo much about your fish list to the store owner. He just happens to get in exactly what I plan on adding to the tank.

That sucks. At least since you ordered from here you can get replacements/credit. Sick or dead fish had always stopped me from ordering online. In the past I've always liked to watch the fish at the LFS for a few days before I pulled the trigger. I will have to look back a few pages on your...

Just ordered bunch of Turbo, Astrea and Nassarius snails to start off my clean up crew. I waited because I didn't want them to starve since I did not have rock in the tank for a while. Because of my work schedule I asked that it not be shipped until next Wednesday. I am starting to get diatom on...

Scape is good but I've decided that it will never look like the vision I have in my head..... I just don't think I'm creative enough I did pickup this little guy yesterday. I was concerned about how it and my coral beauty would get along but they just chased each other around a little last...

Got the rocks in and added a small Hippo Tang Shot a few quick pics.

Rocks were power washed this morning and are now in the bleach bath. They were actually really clean already, virtually no dust or dirt. I will let them soak until the morning then rinse sand soak a few times with dechlorinator over the next few days. Nothing going on with the...

Quote: Originally Posted by Lubeck I bleached all my macro rock before building. It wouldn't hurt to ensure your starting with clean base rock I've been trying to find directions online on how exactly to bleach rock. From what I can tell I should use a 1:10 ratio of bleach to water but for...

Quote: Originally Posted by 2Quills Nice find on the rock! A short soak and checking phosphate and ph levels wouldn't hurt but you could probably just cure it in the display if you wanted too. Was it formerly live rock or do you know if it's been bleached or acid washed? It has not been...

Time to get this build moving again!!!! I found a guy 10 minuets from my house selling pukani rock so I was able to go and cherry pick around 170 pounds!!!!! I am very pleased with the size and shape..... this is defiantly more like what I envisioned the rock would look like in the new setup...

I still like mine even though I had an issue with one of the power supplies. They are still both running great. I am considering ordering a couple more once I can get refocused on my tank.
