AndrewSPS Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Needless to say the zoas are getting out of control. Picked up a few nicer ones to throw onto tiles to grow out over the next 6 months. Luckily the regal angel hasn’t ate any in the display so I’m slowly moving some over. music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewSPS Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I’ll try and get this updated by the weekend and new pictures. Left for a week and the tank ran smoothly aside from losing a royal gramma and my regal angel. Corals are thriving like crazy. I started dosing microbacter7 weekly after each water change and it keeps the algae under control and I hardly have to clean my glass anymore. Did wake up this week to a snail eating flatworm about 5” in length munching on an astrea snail. He was quickly removed and I hope he was a lone flatworm. I haven’t added anything new in a few months so he must have came in super tiny on a frag and survived the dip. New frag racks are being built for the frag tank. Back row will hold 3” grow out tiles which I will begin to focus on growing out some nicer pieces for a future build in the new house.

They are being shipped in the day or two so I’ll have them early next week hopefully. I ordered some cheap jebao power heads which actually put out some serious flow. One on each side of the tank and then the cross flow I currently have will be under the racks to prevent anything from settling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have to cut the back left corner rack a hair to get it to fit the overflow but aside from that I like this set up a lot more. aap15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewSPS Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 If you can’t notice every water change I slowly remove some of the sandbed. A small amount will remain but I’m tired of it blowing around all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewSPS Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Ordered a camera tube and filters so I’ll be able to use the actual camera for frag pictures in the hang on photo box I made. Just a few pictures with the iPhone and Snapseed. Blue lights only and an orange filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Small tease but these will be RAW images I’ll have to fix the white balance on. SBB heizenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Finally got the camera tube and filters in so I’ll get some better pictures soon. Also have been working on some acrylic pieces. Wanted to find a container to dose trace elements, no pox, and amino acids from and couldn’t find what I liked so I’m making matching Neptune style containers. Will build 2 total for 6 containers that hold about 600ml each. aap15 and music 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewSPS Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Been neglecting my tank and projects to work on others but I’m going to get my new dosing containers up and running this weekend. CO2 reactor is running and the 1/2” lines really helped with proper airflow to the skimmer. The frag tank is finally thinned out after the cinci show so I can focus on some higher end pieces to grow out. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
