  1. Regular maintenance

    With the reef tank torn down, my routines are a little out of sync. I don't have to worry about cleaning the glass nor much of anything else, it seems. Still, I check on my livestock and view them from above, and make sure all the equipment is running.

    The calcium reactor seemingly sprung a leak, but after a careful disassembly, no crack was found. I applied more teflon tape to the threaded area, and have it running again. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it happens again. ...

  4. Reef Sites in Seattle?

    I'm going to be in the Seattle area for a few days, any sites of interest to a reefer? The public aquarium is already at the top of my list. I haven't been there since I was 7 years old, which was over 30 years ago.

    Thanks!

    This is my current tank build a 92 gallon Corner tank with a external overflow. I have since applied black adhesive vinyl that i aquired at a local sign shop. After searching for a stand .I ended up getting the one made by the manufacture as to not void the warranty on the tank. The tank and stand are now in the permanent location. My next step is to build a canopy. The final design will all depend on what lighting I decide to go with. All input is welcome..and ...
