    IT'S IN THE AIR!!!

    in General Discussion

    Thanks!!! Ok... False....ish alarm.... The clowns did last eggs but from what I read up on they most likely weren't going to make it due to the fact they were one of the first few clutches.... And on cue... The parents took a page out of the Kronos playbook and ate their children.  But now I'm working on having a few things around JUST in case it keeps happening and I'll be ready. So for now.... Just been absorbing a lot of breeding info and vids!

    Movin On Up...Again...Waterbox 135.4....

    in Dedicated Tank (Build) Forum

    Hey everybody!! Thanks!!! sorry for no responses in a while....we just received our new creature to our family this past weekend so the last few months of buildup have been pretty fun.  The Waterbox has been AWESOME!! i've had Nuvo's, Red Sea Reefers, Acrylic Tanks and none of them were bad or anything but these waterbox's are L-E-G-I-T.  Yes, of course there are some things that could be improved but that could probably be said about just about any product out there.  In the lead up the our birth I took it upon myself to gift myself my own "Push present" and picked up a few gifts for myself!....i mean for the baby:rollface:.  I added a couple of blue star leopards, a McCosker's wrasse, an Orange Back Wrasse, and my flame wrasse i feel has finished it's transition to full male, so it looks like a new fish!

    So it's been a bit since i've updated this bad boy!  I've had some really good ups and really ANNOYING downs!  Ever since moving to a bigger tank that bloomed with coraline algae (not a bd thing of course) my hand at water chemistry has taken a massive advancement!  I had somethings that were flourishing and others that were taking a massive hit.  Alkalinity and all the other elements that go hand and hand with it took a massive plunge.  So after finally getting into the dosing game my SPS has finally taken flight!  I am actually pretty excited about it...pretty cool...but on the other hand i've become an expert at melting Acan's.  apparently my water may be a little TOO clean which i've never had a problem with but i took such precautions early on and did it so well that some of these corals that need a little dirtier water don't survive for very long.  I will probably try to tone back the "cleaning" aspect and cutback on skimmer usage and maybe something else...i don't know what but i'll give it a try.  FEEL FREE TO SHOOT MY ANY IDEAS!! On the fish side...pretty good.  I had a Potters Angel that almost bleached out due to early stress with a Coral Beauty but purchased some pellets that brought back it's color ASAP!! After a couple Kamikazee Flame Angels took their final dive only one has remained but thank goodness it had already begun the process of it's transition.  As usual thanks to everyone on this board for all the info and help provided over the years!!!

    Rome wasn't built in a day....it was built on a snow day!!!! the final powerhead has been put in place and together they are kickin' up a ton of crappola.  The current coral placement is not permanent but placed to make sure they make it (fingers crossed).   So far everthing has been flourishing...where have T5's been all my life??  I also fitted the Orphek Sky Blue LED's on both sides of the ATI and couldn't be happier.  Hopefully in a couple months SPS will be a willing participant in my aqua paradise!  Excited about a few fish on their way and will update ASAP when they take the plunge!

    Marine Science Saltwater Tanks at Liberty High School

    in Dedicated Tank (Build) Forum

    I just wanted to chime in on your project with a side note... I think what you're doing is AAAAAAAAAMAZING!!! Virtually the only reason I got into marine interest was from a teacher I had in high school..and if not for him, there's a strong chance I wouldn't have finished school due to a lack of interest in anything in high school BUT his class. So I hope you can keep this up and it that it probably means a lot more than you could imagine to some of these kids...especially the ones that don't necessarily demonstrate it. Good luck!!
