What did you do to your reef today?

A sea K · Mar 3, 2019

Did this yesterday but have a few things on tap for today.
Vacuum sand bed, blow out all the rock work, clean glass, remove all the bubble algae from the sump and clean the refuge section of the sump in general and did my weekly WC 1 week late.
Today I'll probably blast the rocks again and any sand areas I missed with the vac, nuke the remaining aiptasia, feed the corals, wipe the outside glass and call it quits.

Sold off alot of colonies in the last 2 weeks taking up real estate and took my recently purchased battle boxes 20 frags of acros from battlecorals, along with some other random acros and got them off the frag racks and onto the rocks. Heres a couple before and after pics.

Awesome tank! I grew up in HB, my folks still live in the same house we’ve had for 30yrs. I miss having so many awesome lfs’s to get livestock at. I’ll go to Tongs just to make myself jealous every time I’m down there visiting family haha.

I've lived in HB for 40 years. Funny I'm on my way to seaside right now since they open at 10 then driving to tongs since they open at 1030.

Nice. Is seaside the place on beach/indianapolis? My mother said they opened up a new store there that was pretty nice, I haven’t seen it. If it’s the same place it used to be called Pets Pets Pets and was pretty run down when I was living there.

I had a busy reefing weekend. Sold off a rock covered in green mushrooms cheap- paying it forward if you will, sold it for about the price to cover replacing the rock, put in a 10 gallon tank under my DT to use as my ATO reservior so I could get rid of the ugly plastic bucket beside the tank, and cashed in my change jar and got a Nero 5 from my local coral store for about $30 below retail.

I move 2 tanks and cross-loaded 1. We just purchased new home about 30 miles west. We lived in a 3 story town house, of course tanks were on 2nd & 3rd floors. To keep this short, we moved a 65 gal first but is was upgraded (cross-loaded) into a 120. Then we moved a 60gal which then went into old 65 gal. First time I ever moved fairly large tanks and it was a little nerve racking but so far everyone survived, BTAs, Carpet nem, 4 clowns, 4 file fish, foxface... Worst part it was all using 5 gal pails, it was only my girlfriend & I.

Nothing too special for mine. I topped off the tank and fed the fish. How about you guys?

I made a diatom filter from old Berlin skimmer. Love it. Have a 20" whole house filter, going to convert that to DE filter.
Forgot to take pictures. Bummer

Manually dosed in the morning....
And looked at my dumb clown and wondered why he chooses to sleep/host a corner of my tank and be a homeless fish while there is a beautiful leather for him to live in lol

Should call him dumb dumb.

Topped it off, played with adjusting my new hydra26 settings and started mixing a fresh batch of saltwater

vetteguy53081 · May 26, 2019

Waiting for this Stars wars movie to finish. Want to glue some gsp to the back wall of the 75. Working on removing the sand from the 180. I'll get another section later .not very much today .

Reeferguy365 · May 26, 2019

Just stared at it from the couch lol.

Phycodurus · May 26, 2019

Moved my orange fungia in my 180G to an isolation box cuz the flametail blenny has suddenly taken a liking to it.

!

That fungia is one of my very first corals venturing into reefing since my return to SW after a 10+ year break (previously only FOWLR).
