Oh well we're getting rid of the small two

It's here!!

Use plumbers putty to create a moat to hold water around where you're drilling and tape the back side so you dont break through suddenly and chip. Go slow, dont apply pressure, just let the drill's weight push it through..especially towards the end.

this was lights off, just outdoor light bleeding into the room. the red dragon looks even more pink than what the camera can capture.

Just got my shipment of coral in from Jason Fox (JF). From top to bottom, moving left to right: JF Twisted Chalice Greg Carol Efflo (two frags) Tyree Red Dragon JF Halo Monti (the tiny tiny frag) JF Deepwater Fantasia (the huge frag)

One more coat of stain left, then Poly.

Bit of an update. The tank is scheduled for delivery tomorrow to Neptune, and I plan on bringing it and the stand home on Saturday to start assembly. In the mean time i've been working on the canopy. Im in the process of staining it currently and do not have an pictures but will post final...

I suspect this can be one of two problems: A) the pump is under-powered, better get a more powerful pump and put a valve on it. B) the reactor isn't good for bio -pellets. They don't always provide a flow/circulation pattern to keep bio-pellets flowing.

Cycle well under way with the new rocks:

I plan on attending +1 (may change close to event)

At close to 7$/lb of real reef, we'll see how much we can swing :P

Here's a shot of the 40

Stand is done!

Update: Rocks came in today. 50lb normal marco rock, 20lb prime cuts marco rock. Have it circulating in a brute curing with Dr. Tim's ammonia. Will probably add some Dr. Tim's One and Only to it tomorrow, once correct ammonia levels are achieved. This plus sand the ~50lb of live rock from our...

ill post a picture when it comes in :)

here's a preview of the stand (stand built by Neptune's shop), pre-stain. Sump will be a Trigger Tideline 36"

it's arriving next week sometime, and then we'll go slowly and diligently to get it running...so no timelines. Probably a month before anything living goes in it. It depends though on how clean the dry rock i get is, and how fast i can cycle with ammonia.

There are some definite good ideas. I think we'll go with a similar rigging system as the 300g spotlight tank. We're renting so as low impact as possible is the theme.

this is true, i would experiment with tiny ammounts of this supplementation and stop if nuisance algae starts growing.

you can also try supplementing a little iron
