Weekend Reefing Plans

[Bucs20fan]

Sweet! I hope to see the build thread for that 210 soon! Also, sorry not sorry for the glass...

I will for sure post pics, I dont think Ill do a build thread though, Its just a tank size upgrade mainly Lol. All the same equipment, just more real estate

 

[ReeferHD]

just some routine maintenance, and re-mounting some corals (giant snail bulldozed them again) possibly a trip to the LFS aswell.

Maybe a change of plans, need some snails cause the film algae growth is getting out of hand…

 

[jsker]

A little maintenance goes a long way... That about sums up my weekend plans, though I will be introducing a new Ornate Leopard Wrasse to my system later on this afternoon.

Exciting, I have alway want a Leopard Wrasse.

Me too! I feel my system is finally ready for one. I have massive amphipod and copepod populations, plus, with a little effort, I think I can wean it onto a mixed diet.

What better reason to start one?!?

 

[Tcook]

Did a large water change already. Will go pick up my acantho from the lfs hopefully.

Bc it would be Lame lol, Its just adding another box of rock and then the not fun moving tanks that weigh a gazillion pounds and transferring everything over.

Edit, I forgot, its not a 210, its a 240 oops. But same difference.

Your process may help others who have to do the same and don't have your experience or know-how. Nothing lame about that. Just a thought...

True. Didnt think about that. I do see a ton of questions about moving tanks and how to transfer things.. You might have just convinced me. Time for the world to see how many buckets and rubbermaid totes I have!

And probably time for the world to meet Sara, my wifes shark. That really she only feeds and I take care of in every other way, but still is hers for some reason...

I wanna see a shark!! Hit me up when you start it, and I'll jump in and follow along.

I will be:

1. Removing my Tunze Calcium dispenser from my my ATO and moving it to a dosing pump to only drip at night.
2. Replacing/Calibrating new pH probe on Apex.
3. Clean mixing vial in Apex Trident.
4. Ordering another Tunze 3155 Osmolator as backup as my water level sensor seems to be acting erratic. Probably due to Kalk dosing too close to it.
5. Finishing up the last touches of my plumbing for the new build along with finishing touches on manifold in the garage.

Here’s a couple sneak peeks. Disregard the salt on the glass it was after a water change.

That, sir (or ma'am), is some nice plumbing work!

Haha, thanks! Plumbing is my favorite part of the hobby. On the build side of course.

Not only is it your favorite, you have a GIFT.

 

[Petcrazyson]

Picking up a new Goby and possibly 1 or 2 new wrasse!

I will hit you up for sure. I posted a couple pics of her after you asked to see.. Those were from several months ago, shes about 22-24 inches long now, almost 2 years old.

One of mine, too! Though, clearly not as good as you. One can dream though...
