Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Mystery Wrasse! Crap, I need a cover.

  2. New Reef Tank Update - 9/2010

    So I have not updated for quite awhile, so I wanted to give a few picts, and description.

    Building a 120gal Mixed Reef...And now we have water, and rock. Still need to finish the return pump plumbing, but getting there. We were hoping to have it done this weekend, but we are waiting for 1 piece of plumbing to get here, probably Tues or Wed. Had to order a pvc union, in order to connect the pump.
    I realize that there are lots of things in these pics, like the heaters, and probes ...

  4. Scarface Wallpaper Mural

    Hi All,

  5. water parameters

    So I finally got me a alk test from Selifert. I tested all the parameters I have test kits for. Here is what I got:

    SG 1.25
    ammonia 0
    nitrite 0
    nitrate >5ppm
    Calcium 300ppm
    alk <14 dkh
    Magnesium No test kit yet
