Anybody staring at their tank tonight?

Some days I love it, and other days I hate it lol. It depends on how clean the glass is and if all my coral are looking good at that moment. :wink:
 
I stare at the tank, hubby talks for the fish. "Quit staring at me!"

Overall I am happy with it, but I do have some algae. Gotta pull it out. I have a rock that is covered in yellow Polyps that I am considering what in the world I am going to do with.

the deeeeeeep south - popeyes chicken "rocks"heeheeheh"

He he! Further south than popeyes. :xd: Think "New Mexico" except... less "new" and less "USA" LOL

Lucky's - I have been staring at my tank for 72hors now. Got a condition going on. Was out of glue and grabbed a reef-putty stick from a friend. Was different from my original-still brand new(which is the red-this one was the black that looks purple coraline when in tank) brand, but I guess he has been holding on to it for some months(said 11-12). Thought nothing of it and I have never had problems with it b4. Had a large batch of new arrivals so hence within 24hrs 1/2 the stick was used in new attachments. Within hours I had been dealing with crazy reactions. I have now lost my prize fish in the tank, a couple colonies and some fav frags. My po4 has raised from .00-.03 to 1.45. I checked this morning and it was 2.01. changed out carbon and gfo - adding a large amount from my normal routine. Did a test with the putty in a 500ml specimen container and a ball of putty added to water that tested 0.03 raised the po4 to 0.25 within 45 min. Pounding my head against the glass right now. I cant pull all that putty back out - it is set and everywhere. But I am still staring at the tank.lol

Dang bro! That sucks! Sorry you're dealing with that frustration!!

Looked at an empty tank --- both happy and sad. Happy that I have a new tank to set up, sad that I haven't even started the plumbing yet.
 
I'm starring at my tank right now wondering what I can do to make thrive. I feel like it's just blah now.

Tonight is the rare occasion that I see my Pom pom crab I see it maybe once a week, maybe less... But when I do see it, I sit there and watch it until I can't see it anymore.
 
im always staring at my tank.sometimes i stare at it for so long i think i can see things growing
 
C'mon in and stare with me...................http://dropc.am/p/dieseltank

Diesel, this is awesome. I need to set up my 3 foscams on my tank to do something this.

I just watched you feed the fish! Next time, please move out of the shot so I can see them eat... Just kidding.
Love that you have 2 purples in there - don't see that too often. I just have one in my 120g.
 
I can't help but stare at it. it's right next to the tv in my mancave. lots of rewinding shows because I stare at the fish.

I'm always looking for new growth and pIcking which corals to trim ? Or if I even want them anymore ?sometimes you impulse buy things or just grow old of them and think its time for something new when your reef is packed out and in dire need of an upgrade. But all and all I love it . sometimes I stare for so long my eyes hurt !
 
Sometimes I fall asleep in the recliner when I am staring at my tank my wife says I need help with my addiction
