Hitmans 600 gallon predator build

[vetteguy53081]

Some more positive news!!! While taking the 240 apart 3 of the 4 BlackWidow Anemones perked up! I put the large rock they are all attached to in the 300 gallon tote half full with fresh saltwater mix, reached into the tank to grab more rock, then when I went to put the rock I just grabbed into the tote I say some slight color from what I thought was just mush. Grabbed that rock again gave it a gentle swish and low and behold 2 more started to open! 1 feel apart when I moved the rock but the other 3 have a fighting chance!!! Going to move them into a clean bucket with a bubbler for now, I may be able to save some of the mushrooms and maybe a few hammers!!!

NICE- There is Already hope !! Your 3 week plan will be a winner!!

Well I’m in the dog house with the wife again. I told her I understood how she feels when I ask her to help me with heavy lifting. She said what are you talking about? I told her I broke a nail... I can’t post what she said to me!!!!! Lol

Tanks are empty, rock is sitting in a 300 gallon tote with a pump and heater, nems are in a separate tank looking better. Gotta leave on a business trip so everything will sit empty for about 3 weeks while I’m gone. Once I return the rebuild will start. Not looking forward to QT time for restocking the system though. If all goes as planned I’ll be back to normal by New Years.

Looks good but a copperband with aggressive angels and aggressive feeders can often not go very well.

I like your livestock list. Two large angels must be added together if you’re keeping two but know that could end poorly — they only have each other to focus on. I’d say a blueline and goldflake would be a killer pair and less aggressive!

Good point! The passer I just read is the most aggressive of them so he is out. My train of thought was to leave a king and queen but from reading they do not play well together at all.

had a 5" passer and it tore my tank and coral up. Ate literally all my hammers !!

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Wow I just caught up. What a roller coaster ride. I cant believe how optimistic you are still after all of that.

Hope all is well and the skies stay settled for u once u get back. 4 black widow nems? Sheeeesh! Truely sorry for the rough times uve endured. Best wishes going forward sir.

Cheers.

It’s always the beautiful ones! The 600 will remain a fowlr but the aggression these guys have I’ll have to remove him from my list. Back to the drawing board I go lol

 

[RichtheReefer21]

At least your optimism is steadfast bud.

Itll swing back the other way for u soon. Always tough dealing with the lows.

Long over due for a update. Livestock rebuild has been pretty slow, have had about a 50/50 turn out from QT, I’m amazed how poor some fish are that vendors ship out. So far 3 Yellow tangs, 1 Scopas Tang, 1 Tomi Tang, 1 Falco Hawk, 1 Huma Huma Trigger, 1 Niger Trigger, 3 Clowns, 1 Queen Angel, 1 Sixline wrasse, 1 Yellow Corris wrasse, 1 diamond goby and 1 Foxface are all that has made it. The three tanks are slowly getting back to were they need to be. I’ll try to do better with updates this time of year I’m just slammed with work, and the kids racing as both kids just started racing RC cars on a indoor Offroad carpet track. What a blast that is and wow is it expensive!!!

I just realized how far behind I am on this thread. It looks like I'm going to play "catch-up" today.
