The Miracle Tank

[StatelineReefer]

We could plant a community garden?

Of rare corals?

@Brew12 do you happen to have pics of your scape before it was encrusted with coral? I want to replicate where your foxface seemed to like hanging out. I'm guessing it was an arch?

 

[Katrina71]

Oh, the baby trachy...not so little anymore.

I do have sad news. Woodstock. I have been adding pods. Shipments stopped due to the C. I'll try again when the Miracle gets mature.

I just ordered these on amazon, 24.99 free shipping - I'm going to split these and culture half. When my LFS has the Reef Nutrition Tiggers in stock I'll use them for the culture.

I take care of my Lfs. It's sad folks. Dry good limited supply. Just a hand full of coral and fish. Fw and sw. This is hitting our Lfs hard.
@dantimdad how address you doing

Difficult to get shipments. We got scratched on 80% of our order that came in Wednesday. Dry goods are ok just take over a week and the second biggest supplier in the country just doubled their minimum and took out free route delivery. Which makes it neary retail because they palletize everything

Who thinks bta like flow? Who doesn't?

 

[NS Mike D]

My 2 pt arrive a day early Sunday
My KH reagents arrived a day late yesterday
My TDS meter is in NY and scheduled to arrive today
My syringes Monday
I ordered stuff yesterday, the Phyto already shipped.

The pods are the only item I'd like to see move reasonably ok. We'll see if that gets shipped today or Monday.

But my CA reagent refill (ordered with the KH) was stuck in the USPS Santa Clarita facility for 4 days, then left on Tuesday with no more updates. I know friends in Santa Clarita and the area was hit hard.


I forget how, but on amazon, I could see what was being shipped from China (I think is was the long delivery time) and was able to find items with faster delivery.

They tighten up with light and flow, although Melev has a BTA tank with flow with BTA that have to be 6" to a foot long.

Look at the 2nd post in my build thread, it has all the progress pictures.

That's awful.

And now for something most following this thread can relate to...

A wave pump I ordered and pd 2 day delivery still hasn't arrived. It was shipped Monday. It sat in pa for three days. It left philly yesterday. Thankfully the seller refunded the shipping.

Not at all what I thought. I can handle that!

I think the guy is stealing shrek cups from the school kids.

I can understand it. I mean, who drinks Crown out of anything but a Shrek-sized cup?

 

[Katrina71]

Would y'all scatter Tonga rock throughout or make one structure?

Depends on the rock and your end goals. If you have larger pieces and put them into one structure, smaller fish can swim through it, bigger fish can swim around it. If you spread them out, all of the fish can swim in between it but it won't hold the fish as tightly grouped.

Good morning everyone. I say “good” because I was blessed enough to wake up. With everything going on in the world I forget this fact. I read in the news about the uproar over NY’s “do not resuscitate” order because of covid-19. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine people being left to die, because of limited resources. That’s something you would read in a dystopian novel. It’s been revoked, but the fact it was even considered....

I’m sorry @dantimdad. I went to my LFS last week and was floored how empty his tanks were.The company that he gets his fish from had to cancel his order the day he was supposed to get it.

I’m sorry about Woodstock @Katrina71 I’m glad the miracle will be her soon.

A thought came to me while I was writing this (I know, this scares me too). The “miracle” tank is a miracle to more than just @Katrina71..at least to me. I met (well, sort of) all you wonderful people and that, in and of it so self, brings a smile to my face everyday. This thread is more than just about a tank. It’s a support system for strangers, who became friends and now “family”. Believe it or not @Katrina71, you set this in motion, March 2017. Thank you!!

I originally intended to make a joke about mornings and coffee. I tend to get distracted...

What do you think @Katrina? Decaf or DarkRoast? Have a great day everyone. Stay safe!

Tang gang and a friend, looks like the convict will be my little phantom of the opera, it's defo a dark roast fish!
