gmubeach September 23, 2011 Author Share September 23, 2011 The main problem is my commuting leaves my tank in the care of my father, who really doesn't have an intrest he thinks its pretty, but he doesn't know all the biological stuf and he'd rather not learn. Basically he puts in top off, feeds, empties skimmer... So my tank goes for days without me and if I knock off something it dies or if something is sick it I can't save it.... Overall my tank is doing well... Now in the future my faince wants to get a place that will allow me to keep my tank and get out of our parents house ..... Our bigger problem is two fold, My crappy job is in fairfax county, lorton, va. My faince is and will reside in columbia md. I need to either find a job in md thats as lucrative or keep commuting. The commuting from va to md is vicious, but I can't just leave myself jobless and homeless either;) Anyway I'm excited to not leave wamas right at the moment.

Coral Hind September 23, 2011 Share September 23, 2011 Try to automate it as much as you can to make it easier for your dad and less stressful for you. A controller you can check on via the web might help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmubeach September 23, 2011 Author Share September 23, 2011 Any ideas of how to automate it more? I'm also concerned with my ph and saltinity adjustments. I've been using test kits 2 part and a refractometer and salt. I have the stuff to put on a biopellete reactor still working on how to mount it to the tank no sump. My fathers a mechanical engineer though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmubeach September 23, 2011 Author Share September 23, 2011 We should have a club reef "help" patrol. That can give advice.. I understand the chemisty and the biology, but not the automation. I need to test more often thats for sure and get rythem down. I'm going to downsize my corals in a few days as I have way too many... Also anyone have experienc with clownfish repairing..... Is it possible to pair my bw with a normal clownfish? as long as their gender compatible and all that....or is it better to sell the widower and get a new pair? Also need advice on biopellets and nutrient control.... got alot of nusciance algee and nothing to eat the algee....also the extracton method leaves something to be desired..... Been using prodibio which is helping... but it messes with my ph. I grow only lps and softies no sps..... How about I invite some of my wamas friends over to have a tank help party.

treesprite September 24, 2011 Share September 24, 2011 Do you mean Prodibio Biodigest or the others? The Biodigest is basically bacteria, so it should not affect your pH at all. If your B & W is an ocellaris, you can put a regular ocellaris with it, or if it's a percula, you can put a regular percula with it. Make sure the new clown is smaller and still a juvenile (male).

firecrackerbob September 26, 2011 Share September 26, 2011 Hi boss, thats a tough situation! I can relate though, I spend about 3hrs a day in the car for the commute, get home to my son and try to spend some time with him, and get chores done around the house... on and on... it doesnt leave much time for the tanks. Im lucky to get about 30min a WEEK to play with and enjoy my tanks. heres some ideas: 1)set up an auto top off system. I just use a 10g tank and a TOM pump on a timer that runs 2X15min a day. all I have to do is add water to the 10g tank once a week. 2)I only keep 2 fish in my tank and low care corals(I have a 55g display, 20g sump and a 45g fuge) and only feed the tank once a week. the rest of the time, the fish are on thier own to forrage for pods that make their way out of the fuge. you might want to sell a few of your fish to minimize the bioload. 3)add a fuge if you dont have one. personally, I really think it balances a tank out... but thats JMHO. I would also sell off any corals that are of high value. its not ideal, believe me, but you have to work with what youve got. I think it can be done, but you have to adjust your expectations about what you can keep and care for. Good luck! FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
