Sorry guys! I haven't been around too much. Life has been getting crazy. My nano has been getting some hair algae and i lost a coral or two because of it. For those who care, I got asked to become a travel soccer coach, so I had to take a course out in Cleveland (im in maumee). Im also planning my wedding (dont do it, its a trap!). In all honesty, I've been a little stagnant with my tank and i think that has caused me to put it on the back burner. When you stop buying things for your tank it gets easy to set it aside (for me anyways). I'm going to put more effort forth and dive back in!

HI Just started playing with Arduino and have used your program to add some supplementary lights to tank, works a treat. Thanks for sharing, will post some photos when project is finished

Ha! I could try that. If nothing else, just something else to further make my wife think I am nuts! Lol Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Glass is cleaned for this first time in who knows how long. The twins are paying more and more attention to the fish. show me some tanks for inspiration.

Great news! Now I have to go and try to catch my devil yellow Tang and clownfish pair... Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

If anyone has ever thought: “I wonder what the underside of a sleeping money cowrie looks like”

This is the boring stage with little updates but a current full tank shot. Few frags to test the waters with.

Woohoo!

We got word on the venue. It will be basically across the street from the previous venue. The date will be 3-21-20 as of right now. Friday night set up Saturday expo.

better late than never, sunrise this am:

I’m going to continue to run these orpheks and hope things turn around growth wise. If not by February or so, I’ll switch back to halides and run! I have no doubt leds work and I’m not starting that fight, I’m just saying my tank hasnt adapted to he switch very well... corey

Lima! I’ll be looking for plenty of frags to fill this thing up

When was the last time you did a water change? How often do you do one? How much water do you change?

Flip up lid going together and more clamp porn for Mike!

Crazy excellent offer there! Here too! This is why I love this club! When they get in I will take one of you up on this.

I may be able to relay them out to you. I live between aqua culture and the turnpike and could run them over to your exit off the pike.

halfway home!! Put water into the overflows and no leaks of bulkheads or drain pipes so far. Filled up sump partially and started return pump. Had a couple unions I didn’t have all the way tight. Oops.

thank you! I would redo a few things but I’m always able to with the use of unions. Eventually I’ll get a nicer sump with a built in roller mat but this setup works for now. I’ll have some more pictures later when everything opens up

That’s what I’m expecting. Figured was worth a try. I have some orange that’s doing great want to add on

This may be a hard one to find locally. May have to order on the line for this one.

I have one. He is huge! Interesting creature to watch.

I put my magfloat in my DIY bottle trap, so it pins it to the glass, allows me to adjust to the level the fish frequents, and when the fish goes in the trap, I can spin the bottle to the water surface without getting wet. You might not catch it first, just make sure you put whoever you do catch to the side (a bucket or something) so you don't keep catching the same fish over and over.

Lol. I’m so old now I can’t grip it tight enough to go to far! I do love those bessey clamps, they are the best!

I'm thinking of adding some lumen light bars to add to the reefbreeder.

I've got two of the rainbow BTA's on the right side of the pic. Both are about 4" and very bright.

That looks a lot different than when I last saw it! Nice job on that ceiling!

Thanks Brandon!

anyone up for a meeting / frag swap?? winter is coming and that's when we work on our tanks the most, wouldn't it be wonderful to throw back a few with good people and trade a coral or fish?

Awesome. I’m going to try to get my car serviced a week from Saturday and make a stop!

Thanks I had a gha battle through the summer but I’m back on track my numbers and polyp extension is the best it’s been . Have seen good growth the last couple months also .

our last meeting was Toledo Aquarium trip and this took place this summer. If I'm wrong anyone please correct me. We have met at Bw's in Bowling Green and We've had a meeting at some local fish stores in the past. If anyone knows a store that would like to have us come by post it and set it up. its like "Field of Dreams" ---->>>>if you build it they will come. let me work on this

Hi all Ok i live where i have to travel around 40 mins to get to any decent lfs...salty critter is at lest 40 mins and always been one of my go to shops i went to dans when it was in his basement Aquatic technology this is also around same travel time seems to always have bigger fish customer service hit and miss Aquatic gallery nice place both saltwater and fresh.super nice displays and i love the frontosa tank my favorite fw fish Went to gerbers a week ago long trip close to 2 hr . both salt and fresh not much in exciting corals.thought prices where a little high on the saltwater side for sizes.some killer deals on the fw side When i get lucky enough to get a weekend off i like to go check out new stores ,so list your favorite and why You just might make a nice day trip out for some one

Yes sir!

Will do

If you have a gennie you don’t need it.

Well worth it. I have 4 VorTechs and 3 radions controlled through apex/wmx/fusion. Makes life much easier.

Would you and or your dad be interested in a few polyps of campfire zoas? I have lots! If you or your dad could let me know his schedule I can come home from work through archbold any evening.

I would start with ensuring the tank is flat to the stand (no gaps, shims, etc). Any gaps or imperfections will add unnecessary stress to the tank itself. Ideally the stand would be shimmed as necessary under the legs/stand only at the floor. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

live aquaria divers den gets bonded pairs pretty often. They are a very personable fish to have in the tank

thanks joe, mine is on the way!

Yea one of the nicest aquariums i have been too

ehhh, they put off a different spectrum than what is needed to get good growth. You'll have some growth with it for sure, but in order for chaeto to be effective your chaeto should be growing pretty fast. I had a $40 grow light from amazon that grew chaeto like a champ.

Ok. Never using vinegar again. Just melted the coraline algae off my powerhead. Very little scrubbing on anything soaked in the citric acid.

O boy! Your getting closer to adding life. So exciting.

Looks good for sure.
