Fudsey's 90 gal build

[Crabs McJones]

Help Fudsey get a Aquatic Illumination 48" hybrid T5 light.....

Click my paypal and send me some of your cash..... ;Woot;Woot;Woot

Heck id throw 20 bucks at that

Oohhhh a beer sounds so good right now. If I wasn't going to the gym Id go get some. Don't want to run on the treadmill drunk! Lol

I gave up the gym a LONG time ago.... Too much pain in my back and I have a physical job which basically takes the place of it.

I really like how this ATI is dim-able and was really easy to setup. Can't imagine how good the Aquatic will be when they implement that.

 

[Fudsey]

Light should be here Monday

In the meantime I got a Frogspawn to compliment my hammer. You can see hammer in the background in the spot I moved him too until my light comes in.

Today's parameters after a 20 gal. water change

pH - 8.2
Salinity - 1.025
NO3 - 10
PO4 - .034
Ca - 450
Mg - 1400
dkH - 10.36

Not sure why the alk is so high today. Hoping the test was off. I need to redo it to make sure.

I found an aiptaisia today after the water change behind one of my Zoa plugs. I moved the plug to another spot and hit the aiptaisia with some Aiptaisia X and it fell down about an inch into the rock work. I put about 5 ml of X onto it and into the hole it dropped into. I hope I got it...

I hope so too, they like to spread like crazy.

Yaaaaaaaaa replacement light is here and installed. But man did my bird's nest take a beating. I don't think it will recover.... Looking extremely bad. Inner branches completely stripped of flesh and are just the white skeleton. only the tips have any flesh/ polyps....

Fudsey,
You may get it back. I smoked my birdsnest when I installed the Kessil's.
Tried to run them at 100% intensity, right out of the gate

 

[Fudsey]

Thanks @GoVols ! ! I know it didn't like the T5s and I turned them way down too...

Just have to wait and see I guess

Updated FTS

Bird's Nest is looking better now that it's back under LED lights... Strange

Pic of Hammer, now back home after moving because of light issue and Frogspawn in his new home

Fudsey,

Happy for you...

Kinda discouraged right now..... lost a fish that I examined last night and looked good... All of my transfer fish don't look good, parameters are ok. I'm thinking I'm about to loose all my fish

No place to put them to treat for anything and all my Cardinals are 5+ yo and that is what I have been told is their normal life span.

If I loose many it might be time to go fallow and let what ever is in the tank die. Corals look really good but fish are the opposite.;Sorry;Sorry

Fudsey,
It is heartbreaking and pulling for you
