Steve175 December 29, 2012 Share December 29, 2012 Bill: Looking good. I also can't wait to see the new look when it's back in action. If you prefer, I can deliver your new nems to you and offer a bit of elbow grease on the build. Let me know what works for you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldReefer January 20, 2013 Author Share January 20, 2013 Here is a long over-due update. The tank is back together and settling in. I am very happy with the mix of light I have now. I ultimately ended up with 3 AI Sol Blues, 2 - 80 Watt Fiji Purples, 2 - 80 Watt Giesmann Blue+, and 2 Strips of 12 XTE Royal Blue LEDs. Here is a picture of everything in the hood: This is what the tank looks like all together. I much prefer the color I am getting over straight LEDs: This whole thing started with a bad case of Bryopsis. I carried some of it over with the corals and odd piece of rock I couldn't give up, but I am having great success treating it with Hyrdogen Peroxide. I am spot treating rocks and clams by putting a few drops on straight from the bottle onto the Bryopsis and then rinsing it off with tank water in a couple minutes. Badly infected colonies I am dipping straight into a bucket of 50% Hydrogen Peroxide and 50% tank water. I treat for about 2 minutes. No ill effects on the corals and the Bryopsis fades in a couple of days. Here is a picture of one rock the day after spot-treatment ... and then a week later...

YHSublime February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 Where did you get the "dry starboard?" What exactly is it? Great looking tank, love the lights. Would love to talk to you/see it/gather insparation. We are close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 OldReefer, I'd missed this thread. It looks awesome. Looks like you're the one to talk to if someone wants a great recovery after tank problems. YHSublime, I've seen bare bottom tank builders on RC go to http://www.cuttingboardcompany.com/custom.asp for their starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 With recent airline news, I have a feeling Bill's attention won't be on updating this thread for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 With recent airline news, I have a feeling Bill's attention won't be on updating this thread for a bit. Bill's retired from the Airline Safety Foundation, but I can't believe that he's completely freed from the topic. I've been thinking about him since the plane went down at SFO. Then, with that small plane in Alaska today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
