Thanks... I don't know if I ever posted pics of my Rainbow Acans... also here is a shot of the Squamosa... and some others...

Yeah it was sent as a replacement for a clam I lost around a year ago. Since I last updated the thread I added a 6" Squamosa clam as well. I'm currently working on my lighting upgrade, and hope to have all the lighting mounted in the canopy tomorrow, but it will probably take another day or...

Thanks, It is a Midas Blenny.

Aqualine AB 20k. I will be switching out to 2 - Pheonix 14k's, and adding either 2 or 4 - 24" Super Actinic R VHO's. I have an IceCap 430, so I plan on running whatever I end up having room for.

I'm VERY unhappy with my colors right now. I had a bad MH bulb, and was unable to borrow a PAR meter until last week. So I was basically growing my corals in the dark without knowing it. I lost a few of my ORA corals, as well as had 3 or 4 corals STN on me, and a lot more darken or brown before...

Here is a FTS from a month or two ago Here is one from last week:

I'm not completely satisfied with the look from just one MH pendant, so I decided to build a floating canopy which will have space to hold potentially another 250w pendant (if I want) as well as 2 or 4 VHO's or T5's. This is not on the tank yet. I hope to bring it online next week sometime...

Here is a semi recent shot of the sump: Also, I had a top cut out of some plastic peg board like material. This only goes on the tank at night to discourage jumpers

So it's definitely been a while, so let's start the rundown: Here's the Ca Reactor setup I am using DIY Kalk Reactor which is hooked to my ATO Before I could move corals over, I needed to build some type of light rack to hold the pendant. So I bent a 3/4" piece of conduit and...

It's a 5lb CO2 tank. I picked it up from www.aquariumplants.com when they were having a sale. I think it was only like $50 or something. There's definitely been some updates. I'll try and get some new pictures and a rundown posted later today.

Haha... I'm not planning on adding anymore rock, there's another piece of large rock in the refugium, because I couldn't find a spot for it, but I think that's going towards another tank I'm picking up on Saturday. :cool1: I am planning on adding more refugium rubble though. I'd like to...

Looks like your off to a good start. One thing I will suggest... make sure you test your pre-mixed SW before you add it to the tank, and allow it appropriate time to mix... then buffer to match when needed before adding it. Freshly mixed SW has a very high pH and there is a lot going on. Giving...

Well adding algae to the tank certainly didn't help now did it? j/k :tong: Inspecting Live Rock before you add it to your tank is a great habit to get into, especially if you pick up the rock from a fellow aquarist. All kinds of pests and nuisances can enter via your rock. At least the algae...
