Fishkid's 135gal reef build...

[fishkid13]

Water has cleared up some more. Still need to add sand in refugeium so that will cause it to cloud up again.

 

[fishkid13]

Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
pH: 8.2
Should I start adding the stuff back in?

Room is clean, bed is up, desk is moved, dresser moved, inernet up, freshwater fish moved and saltwater fish/corals/inverts moved.
Tank Looken really good. Will try to get some new batteries for camera. Fish are doing good, corals are still a little sucked in though. Finally!

Thanks.

 

[fishkid13]

Also got an AGA 20gal long for $2

 

[life~reefer]

Frag tank?? Where are those batteries!?! lol

 

[fishkid13]

In sisters camera.

 

[fishkid13]

Life Reefer sorry for the late reply. I don't think it will be a frag tanks sense, I don't frag and have enough money to frag.
Update:

Well my tank got extermely hot and I lost a few of my critters. Xenia, Pygmy Angel.

Might be more sense I haven't seen anyother fish besides my tangs, scooter blenny and one Chromis. All of the other corals are sucked in. Ok news is that the temp is going down. I unplugged the heater and turned off u.v. The light might also be causing it to heat up but I wouldn't think so.

Also will try to get some pictures.

Just read throught the entire thread. You have an awesome set up. Sorry to hear about your loses. Hope you are able to get everything figured out.

 

[fishkid13]

Thanks.

Found out what has been causing it to heat up. Return pump.

Any ideas to keep it cool. Chiller is my best thought but I don't have the money for it.

Thanks.

 

[melypr1985]

Hey! I'm so sorry for you loss! I would keep the heater out of it. I've heard of people cooling their tanks down slowly by putting ziplock bags of ice in the sump. that might get it cooled back down to normal but i dont think that is any kind of perminant solution. sorry kid!

 

[fishkid13]

Thanks. Tank is a tad cooler but for some reason it heats up then cools down?

Looking into bying a fan to help keep it cool. Thanks.

 

[coral keeper]

How hot did the tank get?

 

[fishkid13]

Mid 80's to high 80's.

Every sense tank has been set up it is on problem after the other. Tank to hot, exterme water loss. Water movement pump to loud (for fish).
Diatams, Missing fish, shrunken corals/ dead xenia, Water level changes everyday, have to twek it when I come home.
School just started so I have been really busy. Havnt forgoten about the pictures, will come.
