Thanks Teresa.....we will put the chiller together tomorrow....one of my Maxi-jet 1200's o-rings is no good :( BUT I have another maxi-jet 1200 I use for little w/c's.....so I will use that one for now
I am gonna order some spare o-rings too .....good to have on hand I think

Chiller is hooked up and running great...have it set at 74...it shows 75-74...and the digital one I have on the side of the tank shows 74.8
I also broke a small piece of xenia off of a piece in the 54G tank and placed it in the 28G....I HOPE it does well....
Gonna do a small w/c sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.....

I cut a small piece of pink star polyps off a rock in the 29G and glued it on the side of a rock in the cube......I see some open this morning, so maybe they will do good...they are OUT of control in the 29G....LOL...not as easy to get off the rock as you would think though

Well the horses and red sea whip are due to arrive tomorrow.....The tank looks like it is ready....it's funny how cold it feels though....it is running between 74 and 74.5
I turned the chiller up to 75 cause at 74 it seemed to be closer to 73 on the digital thermometer
......I think I need to move a few nerites in there too....BUT will definitely need to temp acclimate them

I can't keep a sea whip...even in the shade it got algae so bad the little feelers couldn't retract, I have tried 3 over the years.

You did get some pretty ponies! I'm jealous!
I have great luck with the whips, they love bbs. Out of everything, I think it is the bbs that make them thrive.

Very nice! I love the picture with Meowzer!
HAHA...I know...he is a mess LOL
ANYWAY....one of the horses is smaller then the others and not acting the same yet.....the other 3 are all over and hitching to everything LOL....I am gonna put a little mysis in there, BUT as soon as either UPS arrives or hubby pulls in (hopefully within 30 minutes) I am outta here to go to the vet....I will not have that much time with her due to all of this :(

Beautiful! They look like they are a pretty good size too.
They are at least 3"....I have not measured yet.....the three larger ones are all together on the purpleish fake coral.....the lil one is on the leather tree..The tiger conch just tried to clean her..haha and she snicked at it.....She is NOT as perky as the others....
should I do anything? or just leave her alone?
