Tank Entry

  1. Reef parameters

    So with all that has been going on, I've been a tad lax on measuring all the water parameters in my system. I'll check this or that (alkalinity, temperature, salinity), but not everything... over time, I've been losing some SPS while others seem bulletproof. My numbers aren't horrible, but nitrate has skyrocketed somehow. I'll be doing a couple of big water changes over the next two weeks. Alkalinity has had some huge swings over the past 60 days, which is why I thought the SPS were reacting ...

  3. Tonight's update (ready for concrete at last)

    It's hard to believe that two days ago, the fishroom was there, and today it is gone and ready for the big expansion. I'm sharing some of the pictures I took with my Nikon (rather than those taken with my iPhone 4) tonight, so you'll see a little repetition.

    I began tearing out the walls while Bobby worked on the plumbing on 9/28.

  4. Time to pull that trigger!

    I got the final OK to re-quote the tanks (sump and display). So now I'm starting on the process of approaching each and every company on my list for a new quote for the tanks. The goal is to have both tanks in the house before the holidays, so we're leaving a lot of lead time to get those panes of 10.5ft glass. I have 5 places to get quotes from now; all glass, and there is now even a guy who I've heard (through the grapevine so it needs to be confirmed) that will warranty his work!

  5. Oh little Leg Tank its nice to finally meet you!

    My Leg Tank, a water storage container, for our water change system is finally at our house. Its hanging out in the garage making friends with our other renovation materials. After everything was said and done I ended up paying about $250 for the tank, as I received a large discount for the issues we had receiving it. I have no idea when I'm going to get to installing it, but at least now we have it, and can sort out our plumbing order so we can get moving once again.
