57 Illuminata

Well the losses turned into a Cali style fire .Mass losses of my collection 70% RTN .Weird that the colors held during the RTN .Every day I would pull 2 or 3 corals out to chunk in the losses bag . One coral would be fine then a few days later take a dump . I still have to connect up the reefkeeper .Get the sand ordered before it goes oos again .
Hanging the light was a pain since the ceiling fans s plaster n not sheetrock .

Thanks ,
Yah I had to poke a heated needle thru the nail to lessen the pressure .
Pretty freaky with no pain n seeing a needle go into your finger 1/4 to 1/2 inch like that ..lol
I got the door figured out. The green sensor wire was loose, so it's good now .

Man, P! Sorry to hear about all the woes! Time to get a pitbull if you can. I have one, and my whole neighborhood knows it. LOL! He loves my kids, and all kids in general... he just hates "guys." My buddies always make sure I have him put away when they come over to get their dranky-drank awn. :D

Love the Mastermind, too! That thing is going to be sick looking when it grows-out!

I'm pretty shocked at how quickly your phosphates dropped, too. Wow! Good ole' GFO! :D

Are you going to stay bare bottom? I love the simplicity and look of a bare bottom tank, personally. I put starboard under my rockwork, when I did it, though. It was all purple in no time.
 
Yah. I'm good . Just let it roll off my shoulders. Not sure bout a dog .
Starboard sounds like a good idea but Sheldon my conch might not like having any sand. I used aluminum oxide but haven't opened the rowaphos jar yet .

dang man sorry to hear you troubles. do you think the rtn happen because you switched from a dsb? seems like when it rains it just pours and keeps on pouring. hope everything will work out seems like your off to a good start of your collection. that mastermind is going to be a really nice piece. did you ever get a new skimmer or make your mind up? if you cant get a pit a shotgun will work just has good. usually if the person is smart you racking it will scare them off.
 
Looks great P. Told ya it would fit between them windows. If you gotta start the collection over, can i interest you in some pretty rocks?? Lol.. Chat soon my friend/

I hear ya on the rack approach lol. Didn't have a DSB but actually a shallow bed of fiji pink sand .Definitely bac related though .
The collection starts again .Some of the ones that made it seem odd .
No rhyme or reason at to which ones .

Yah , u were right it did fit between the windows .Smart Aleck ..:rolleyes:
U know that thought is crossing my mind if this stick journey don't work out. .but Ur version of " I'll start u out cheap " is like saying I'm gonna buy a new car like a Subi n end up with a Nissan GTR ...lol
Hit me up when u got ur feet up on ur desk ..
Told ya we should ya turned around when we moved the tank ..
Grrr. Still great to have a reef n buddy like u local ..
Sad Ur the only buddy in this neck of the woods ..

Just a rookie bud. Great to have you close for the OMG"s....Chat soon.. NJ is calling..LOL
 
Man, sorry about your losses! I'm really liking that tank though -- very clean look. Knowing your ability to source some sweet pieces, it won't take long to get your collection back up to drool-status.
 
Thanks Pistol . I found it via Ebay from China . I'll send you the link via pm . I have been waiting almost a year for the shipping to come down and now it's very reasonable . I like it since they have graduations and it's easy to see how much is left .
Could you pm me a link to this dosing container too?
