Here’s the 90 this morning

BuckeyeReef members have been invited to take a behind the scenes tour of the aquarium at the Toledo Zoo. We did this a few years ago and it was pretty cool to see how such a big system works. On top of seeing the aquarium you get to see the best Zoo in the country (this might be simply an opinion of mine). This will give you the chance to put faces/voices with screen names. Give suggestions, wants, wishes for the club. If you have frags to sell/trade this would be a good time to set that up. Please take lots of pictures to share on the forum. When? 6/9/2019 @ 1:00pm Where? Toledo Zoo 2 Hippo Way Toledo, OH 43609-4100 Show your military ID at the admission gate and receive free admission.

For those of you that don’t know what FTS Friday is. This is a weekly thread meant for everyone to share a “Full Tank Shot” of your aquarium.  Don’t be shy. We love to see photos of everyone’s tank or tanks. 

The 90 today. Zoas are still quite angry over h2o2 dip Wednesday night!

Here’s mine.

That moment you start to wonder what is outside of your safe little living bubble.

Fancy myself a LCC (local coral collector)

Heya folks! New guy here. New to OH as well, living just west of Akron in a town called Wadsworth. I'm just putting together a tank after being out of the hobby for 12 or so years. I picked up a Red Sea Reefer 250 and am now in the research/obsess about gear phase. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all. See you around!

Will be coming see you after my vacation next week. We can talk about your tank lol

I qt and use copper,they stay in qt for 4 weeks minimum.i use a 15 gallon tank with a heater sponge filter and a very small power filter with out carbon for movement to keep things stirred up I change 5 gallons every 3 to 4 days this has worked well for me.i replace any copper i have removed with water change

I bought a pile of gear. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the kickbacks from Marine Depot to Buckeye Reef when I placed my orders. I'll definitely use the link from now on though! I picked up 3 Noopsyche K7 Pro II LED fixtures off of R2R. I had just read a well-written and thorough review on R2R about them when they popped up. Just so happens it was @crimsonvice who wrote it! Thanks for being so thorough! I was lucky enough to snag them for $325 shipped. I bought the arms for them from The Coral Reef TN for $36/pc. https://www.ebay.com/usr/thecoralreeftn. Other gear: - Reef Octopus Varios 6 (probably too much pump, but I'm making a manifold) - Reef Octopus Classic 150-INT - (2x) VorTech MP10 - Marine Depot KleanWater 4-Stage Economy RO/DI System - 100 GPD - HMO 200 Watt Titanium Heater with Digital Controller - Finnex - Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 ATO - AquaMaxx Fluidized GFO and Carbon Filter Media Reactor - XS - Titanium Ground Probe I bought a Seneye that I'll probably return. I told myself I didn't need an Apex, but then I talked myself into it. So I'll probably send the Seneye back. So now I have: - Seneye Reef Monitor - API Saltwater Liquid Master Test Kit - API Reef Master Test Kit - Neptune Systems APEX Wi-Fi Controller System - Neptune Systems Magnetic Probe Rack (MPR) - Neptune Systems DOS (for auto water change)

Hopefully if my lastest frags excel...i will add a wd in june baby steps

I hope to get this hooked up today.had it since the release just haven't had any days off to do anything Almost 6 months worth of reagent...and one not so happy wife...pretty sure i will be buying another coach purse soon

For sure! I'm thinking we get with them and schedule a group meet or something. Maybe in a month or two, to give them some time to settle in.

May have to upgrade to a Louise.....my tank cost me an upgraded engagement ring.

This is an indication of good planning and thinking ahead, love it!

Update on Mr. Duncan and a couple of other randoms.

Getting a little too green so going to run a full blue weekend..

honestly i think a good thread would be people who have frag tanks that sell and trade coral on a regular and their location

So much glare. You can see the reflection from the ceiling of the garage. It is amazing after one coat. I will see how it looks when it dries.... Then another coat and mostly get inside the bark on the edges more.

Sorry guys, I found what I was looking for a while back. Got an 80g deep blue rimless. Still working on setting it up.

That’s what she said. that thing looks like it’s the size of a 2’ shop light.

Super nice man!!! Wife is a huge anything walt disney so might have to try a piece and say well hunny it is walt Disney

Best I could get.

Just did a water change. Noticed my temp is low. May need to replace the heater. Going to figure that out before I dose anything.

Super stoked my mini maxi found a place to stretch out and be happy. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

notice the extra heater!

Depending on which rumor you want to go with its anywhere from days to weeks away...... Oh billy i need to get on of these locked down

Nope, yet to even take a picture. Will try to get some up tho. Going to be pretty sweet I think

Hopefully get stand painted and caulked. And continue my quest for parts.

in 5 years when your tang outgrows your tank you can trade it or sell it for big bucks and start over.

Got the rock back in today

No fancy shipping containers needed. Corals were double bagged in heat sealed bags, wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped with a heat pack in a styrofoam box. Excellent

Got a box from @crimsonvice earlier this week. Corals came in looking great and packaged like a pro. I won't be hesitating to send more business his way in the future. Thank you sir!

The vortech MPs are one of the pieces of equipment that I would not hesitate to buy used. I have a mp10 that’s run non stop on my 29 since early 2011. If you clean them occasionally they last a good long time.

Gonna get the Sony out later and take some good pictures.

Correct, only very large water changes will accomplish any major changes in water chemistry, but generally in reef aquaria we desire stability and are not trying to, and hopefully have no need for major changes. Water change done on routine is the key, and on many systems are only part of the nutrient export overall (used in conjunction with skimming, algae export, etc). There are certainly lots of ways to "skin this cat", but the Berlin method was groundbreaking once upon a time, and is tried and true. Imo, it's also the simplest and most natural way to run a reef as well.
