Dr.eclipse May 10, 2012 Author Share May 10, 2012 some updates. mostly bad. all 4 heads of torch i got from carla melted. still have no idea why. everything else is doing great. i got a pair of firefish and a coral beauty, they appeared to be healthy at the store but when i got home they all showed signs of ich. one of the firefish died monday, the other firefish and coral beauty look great now and are eating and swimming in the open. on a better note, i bought a used BRS dual reactor on NR, itll be here tomorrow, it should help the tank out a bit.

Dr.eclipse May 20, 2012 Author Share May 20, 2012 i did a big water change today. i also filled the sump to proper level, so the skimmer will work now. i fixed(reprogrammed) the ATO as well, so now thats working, before it would turn on like normal, but it wouldnt shut off, dumping 5 gallons of r/o in my tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.eclipse June 26, 2012 Author Share June 26, 2012 Were doing a group buy for bulbs .....were almost at 20% off... great man, thanks for telling me! By the way..love the tek light! me too! i bought the 6 bulb being told it wasnt fully functional but because the light is running in a series(really weird), the dead bulbs were holding it back, but after weeding the dead ones out i got it working. so i got both working fixtures for 200.

Dr.eclipse November 21, 2012 Author Share November 21, 2012 so the tanks cycle will start tomorrow, the new scape looks pretty awesome. i havnt decided what i want to stock this tank with. im open for suggestions. ive also redesigned the sump. it now has two sections, one as the return section. and the other section is a huge fuge. and within the next couple months I'm hoping to get a lot of macro algae and a mantis shrimp down there, the idea is to have a display under the display.
