Great start Dustin....sounds like you and your Dad definitely have a hobby to share and enjoy. Looking forward to seeing pics of it as it progresses along.

Any pics of your dad's tanks?

WELL,

It seams like the boy has been busy lately. Just arrived back from a trip and my son seems to have spent a few $$. He seems to be quite the little reefer. Marvin, I will follow up with you tomorrow. I would like to thank those who have been so willing to help my son.

Corbin has been really good and very happy to have him here... there's a lot of very nice people here that are willing to help..

can't wait to see your projects next year when they're in full effect..

btw, just fragged Corbin his freebie Sponge Bobs last night and they're open earlier before I left for work.. the others are looking very well also.. I will have to include some surprises for Corbin.. just let him know Santa has connections...

 

[Zoanuts]

OOOO Boy!!! You said the magic word "Sponge Bob" I finished looking at the PM's he sent. Marvin, I will follow up with you tomorrow. I am picking him up from school today and we are going flying for a few hrs. Look forward to visiting. The project will start taking shape after the new year. I have just aquired 600lbs or lr and will start curing soon. I will probably let it cure for 6 months or so. I usually work on the stuff that costs the most money before the tank. Have a great day all!! Thanks for following my son and being so hospitable.

We have completed another water change this am. We were having a hard time moving the Ca up due to the Ca comsumption due to the cooked live rock. In two weeks it is starting to purple and green up. We seeded it by scraping snail and crab shells. Exciting. We will be out of town for a week or so Hope everyone has a great holiday. We look forward to seeing other contributions to corbin's zoa/paly collection when we return. God bless!!

You may want to check your filters... I'm getting less than 003ppm without the DI resin inline. I would think you should be getting better than 040ppm before going into the di resin. Just my $0.02.

absolutely coralnutz, you are just wasting DI resin if you have 40ppm going into the DI stage.

sounds like you need to change your pre-RO filters, or take a look at the RO membrane itself.

whats your tds reading from tap water?

Tell your dad thanks for reffering me to this site.

Hello all first post, rimless tank...

If you can find ADA tanks they are awesome! Made in Japan (I think) and are rimless with all beveled edges. The clarity is AMAZING! I will post pictures asap. Anyone live in AZ and want a tank like this I have one I am not using. I started with a 5 but then wanted a bigger one for my picasso clowns that I FINALLY got from ORA. So I upgraded to a 18, love it.

heres your ADA link! nice tanks

 

[Zoanuts]

Nice tanks. The one we purchased is starphire glass or low iron glass. Just a little more $$$ for beautiful clearity.

 

[Azurel]

There is only acrylic that comes close to the clearity of starfire glass or vise vesra.....Nice tanks, my next tank will be a cube.

Where are the updated pics?

When I get home for trip I will take some. Corbin has frags stacked all over the place. We are evaluating the t5 lighting system that he has on his tank. We have a 4 bulb tek on it now. We are going to change to an 8 bulb t5 lighting fixture. Hopefully it will allow us to use different K bulbs to increase growth and color. We have babies bunches of babies on most/all of our frags. So that must mean something to corbin's husbandry. He is a good little reefer. He has developed some life long skills in the past few months very proud. He continues to amaze me everyday!! TTFN!! By the way stuck in Vages for a few more days. Life is bad!
