    Wow, sorry to hear all the bad news. ;-( Did most of the algae go away? The biopeellets,, is that the stuff that replaces vodka? But, I'm glad you are still enjoying your tank no matter what seems to get in ya way. ;-)

    Hey Mits, how's the new setup doing? Man, you really did a great job on the whole DT and frag tank setups. ;-)

Finally got the tanks up and running!

by Mits on 08-05-2010 at 07:53 PM
Well, it's finally done (at least everything beside the sump). I now have the aquascaping done in my new 90, got the corals put on pegs and placed in the DT along with my limited cleaning crew. Finally, I re-trapped the fish and moved them back over. My lawnmower blenny still needs to make the move, but everyone else is over. Here's the aquascaping before I added anything living.



For now, my ph probe

Moved the new tank in.

by Mits on 07-25-2010 at 12:52 PM
After a couple weeks with the 50 gallon frag tank sitting next to my old 55, I decided that it was finally time to get moving. I borrowed a DIY fish trap from a local reefer and took a few days getting everyone over there. I also had to get some coral off of large rocks that I couldn't fit in the 50, so I got out the rotozip's dry diamond wheel and made some frags. I used the "pegging" method that Marc showed me and I'm loving it so far.

RBTA finally split!

by Mits on 07-19-2010 at 11:15 AM
I've had my RBTA for about a year and a half now and it's only gotten larger, never splitting. Well, after I moved him over to my new frag tank as part of my tank upgrade he finally did! I now have 2 RBTA's in there. Hopefully I'll be able to trade or sell the clone for enough to replace my little yellow bellied hippo tang that died in the move and get a little more sand.

Another 90/50 update

by Mits on 07-12-2010 at 07:23 PM
I got both tanks plumbed together into my tiny sump and waited a couple days to make sure everything looks good. It does, so today I moved a lot of my coral over. I took out everything that wasn't on a huge rock. I still have an encrusing monti and a table acro in the 55, along with a small clam that has attached to his rock that I don't have room for. I also got out my RBTA and percs, but I'm hoping to borrow a fish trap for the rest. I can't believe how small my RBTA is when stressed out

90/50 combo tank update

by Mits on 07-05-2010 at 01:35 PM
I finally finished the stands and pretty much one canopy, so I was able to move the smaller tank into the house! I've already mixed new saltwater in the 50, and it's now sitting there with some good flow to really reach equilibrium before I plumb it into the existing 55 by adding another return to the sump. Is there anything I should consider as far as shocking my main tank beside temp and salinity? It's the same salt I already use so think of it as a massive water change reservoir sitting next
