What will you be doing to your tank this weekend!?

[Sean Clark]

I am going to spend the five minutes a month that I need to wash all of my socks and be good for another month.

 

[TheDragonsReef]

Hopefully finding time to plumb my new tank tomorrow

 

[Garf]

Pricing up a bigger tank. Was gonna stay small, lol

Maybe wash the undergarments and have a shower too..

lol - I know what you meant

Off to fly my model aircraft - beautiful Sunday morning here.

Replacing my halide bulbs to make them all match and working on my controller board

 

[Heather Kastory]

I'm curious, why a UV? What is your issue that you need it?

No issue just for overall health of water for my mini ocean.

It's the weekend!!!! What plans do you have for your tank? I'm going to be doing some cleaning and taking some photos and possibly mounting some corals into permanent (or semi-permanent) places on my rockwork. I'll also be going to the West Coast Coral Farmers Market tomorrow. What about you guys?? Any fun plans?

I'm going to be lugging my "back-in-the-saddle" tank home, assessing needs, probably running to aquarium adventures, and over-all feeling like Christmas!

Well today is the last day of my weekend so I will say that over the last couple days, I did a water change on 2 of the tanks, washed out the dirty filter socks, and am awaiting delivery of my new 135g tank and stand.

Where are you getting your tank from? Glass cages is the best check them out.

For me today I will do a water change. That's it for the weekend. Oh, I might replace my GFO with new GFO. But I am thinking of getting some shave brush plants to soak up my nitrates. My nitrates are out of control. I have just reached my 2-year anniversary, Nitrates are stopping my coral form reaching their potential. I HATE NITRATES SO BAD.

I just added 3 Banggai Cardinalfish, a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Tiger Pistol Shrimp (hoping they find each other and pair) to go along with my existing Davinci and Ocellaris Clownfish pair.

Changing pre filter and carbon blocks on the rodi. Then working on the walls of the fish room. Hoping to have them done this weekend.

 

[davescj]

I'll check my alk, CA, and Mg. I want them to stay balanced. I"ll keep my ATO supply full. And of course, enjoy the tank.

 

[ReefTeacher]

Sadly, preparing to take it down as I am moving in 2 weeks.

I got my new tank and stand from my LFS. The tank is made by Aquarium Masters. The stand was made at a local cabinet shop that supplies stands to my LFS. The tank and stand arrived on the 10th of June. I have the primer coats finished and am ready to spray the final color coats. Tomorrow is my last day of the weekend, so I hope to have all the paint sprayed by the end of the day.

If I have to wait one more week to get the final coat sprayed, no big deal. I have everything I need on hand now to complete the build.

I have heard many good things about Glass Cages, but the price, plus the wait time doesn't work for me.

The new tank is a 135g standard with dual overflows. Not rimless, but a beautiful tank nonetheless. I am super happy with it.

Tank with dual overflows $700. Stand $400. Sump $450

I dare say that I am out the door for less cost than Glass Cages could do for just the tank alone.

Good ole water change day tomorrow.

Besides the boring stuff hopefully finishing assembling my new tank.

 

[Karen00]

I just made up a fresh batch of saltwater so doing my weekly maintenance.

 

[dieselkeeper]

Trying to get cyano under control. I will removing as much as possible. Testing nitrates, it's been under 1 ppm. Phosphates been 0.06 ppm.

Same here. But nitrates at 5. Full clean out this weekend

 

[JCOLE]

Rinsing the last 160lbs of dry rock to put in the curing tank and if I have time then possibly mounting the new UV for the 480 build.

 

[The_Skrimp]

Hopefully selling some frags I’ve had sitting on a frag rack for a while and possibly taking down and restarting a pocillopora colony that’s gotten too big for it’s own good.
