The Miracle Tank

Remember not to bring the rock up too high, the corals will need space to grow into.

I have mixed feelings about it. It has the same feeling as an 80's rock band making a comeback tour by adding a young lead guitarist. It may be better to let the memory be savored rather than risk tainting it with a poor attempt at a money grab. We will see how it goes!

I would like to see a remake of iron eagle

Try drilling it in the areas you want it to break before breaking it, create weak spot to cause it to break where you want it to. Still may not be perfect breaks but may be closer to what you want.

That's a great idea. I tried using the chisel and NOPE.

3/4 height. Right?

Only time I use a chisel on rocks is when I just need chunks and don't care how they break. No control on how they break with a chisel.

More tank milestones, the new clean up crew arrived today from Reef Cleaners to join the survivors, and the loaner PAR meter also arrived to take the guess work out of my settings.

The clean up crew

26 Dwarf Ceriths
11 Nassarius
10 Florida Ceriths
8 Nerites
6 Assorted Hermits


I'm still walking on eggshells given the devastation the first round of dinos did, and then the scare a few weeks ago when they relapsed, But this crew along with the pods, bacteria, phyto, cheato, new test kits, TDS meter for the rodi etc are one strong team to help me this time around.

Tonight's FTS, ... and to think I was hours away from unplugging it all a few months ago.

ME ME ME ME

Why ME ME ME ME, Why-Me?

(see what I did there?)

It's not just you, with the rock being so porous it breaks where it wants to unless ya cut it.

I have a rubble. tons of rubble. I'm like a convict in a prison dumping the stuff in the flower beds when no one is looking from all the rock that didn't break the way I wanted.

Stacking rock is like playing Jenga. I don't know why everyone stresses over stacking rock, it will just be hidden by corals.

Beautiful! You know you can't mix leathers, softies, and sps, right?

 

[Katrina71]

I don't stress over stacking. I stress over gluing.

That's a beauty! I agree.

 

[NS Mike D]

I don't stress over stacking. I stress over gluing.

I wear earplugs not to listen to the idiots inside my head who have been arguing over it's time to epoxy the rocks versus leaving them as is in case I have to pull them out for a rip clean. They won't shut up.

Yes! I actually am only gluing specific structures. I have some little guys that need shelter that will protect them if they feel threatened.
