My 72 Bowfront Build Revised Thread

[jsker]

Party Bus?
Matt didn't even tell me it was coming by, I could have been his wing-woman!

Nope, no top ... no fish yet, so wasn't in a rush yet.

LOL when I found him this morning he was about 8ft from the tank, trying to make the front door. Going forward I have to make the mini tank on wheels for next time. The Cats did not bother him on the floor.

When I get the supplies for make the top I will let you know, and request measurements. You know @Chrisfish is going to want one as soon as she comes down from the codeine

Always sucks when a fish decides to go carpet surfing [emoji20]

I've had it happen a few times. Not recently but I've lost a long nose hawkfish and a clown several years ago.

Ohhhhhhhh Party Tank ... I like it, can I get one of those? Mr. Cutie will love it! He hates the custom frag rack. Even put a couple junk zoas in there to entice him to go into it.

Thanks, but you don't have to do that Hun!!!

Of course she will ... always trying to be like me she is! The shame!!!

The long awaited update
I am on my fourth dose of vibrant, I have not clean my glass in 5 days which is a good thing. I still have the red cayno, I have another 2 doses before I am supposed to see the cayno start dieing off
Ca 465
Mg 1400
Alk 9.1
Po4 .02ppm
No3 12ppm
doing a recommended water change today

 

[jsker]

Bumped up my water changes to get the red cyano under control quicker and the tank in look better with 5 doses of Vibrant. This is a afternoon picture when usually the tank is covered. Yes I just did a vacuum of the sand bed.

 

[john.m.cole3]

so cyano has gotten better or worse? @nervousmonkey are you here yet?

 

[jsker]

The cyano is getting better, I might have to stay with the weekly water change since I feed the system heavy and all the waste food goes down to the sand. I need to do an inventory and get more bottom feeding crew in on the job

Outbreak will eat all that excess food!

but that's like treating the side effects from one medication with a different medication. Next thing you know you are takin 15 prescriptions a day

[Waving hand] Hey fellas, over here, I can see ya! Can you hear me now?

Took me a few to read through the build threads. The pictures make me stop and look.

 

[jsker]

Loved the video, not sure which part I liked best but Cat Scratch Fever was pretty good.

Charlie was busy today. He supervised all day with out a nap and is now very tired.

 

[jsker]

Back to the red cyano, I shut down the sump light for a few days to basically do a black out in the sump to help the process of killing of the red cyano

 

[Ljaus]

The music lured me here, lol.
