My 72 Bowfront Build Revised Thread

[jsker]

I haven't looked yet guess I'll see what I can find tomorrow.

http://www.amazon.com/CMS-Magnetics...011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=CMS+Magnetics. I am going to go to the company website and also check out what they have. I would most likely need to coat the magnets and I can do that with the plastic dip that is sold at the big box home supply stores.

Boom, I am impressed. Back in the day, we you use busted up cinder block for the reef base. Then drop the live tonga rock on top. the rock look like most of the rock that one purchases in the store. I need to play about with a product that I have to make a shelf on the back of the tank that is held on with magnets. I need to make a mold and figure how to keep the magnets glue in place and what type of magnets to use.

Setup the reactor and the pellets are tumbling. I wasted about a 1/2 cup getting to tumble, for the reason that if the pellets clump they can have an hydroelectric acid effect and I would say that is one of the two negative affects of dosing with pellets. The other is dropping your nutrients down to fast or having 0 nutrients. Stopped the H2O2 dosing and dropped GFO back in also this morning, and now it is time to test every day to see were I am at.

Thought my sally light foot kicked it on Monday but evidently she just molted her hold intact shell and was out Thursday in the am eating off the bottom of the tank.

Have not seen my harlequin shrimp since day two of putting Fabio in the tank. It looks like the asterina are dwindling so that might mean that Fabio is still kicking and I am going to have to find some chocolate chip stars to keep in the sump to feed Fabio.

Hey! Looks like you have the same tank that I upgraded from. Loved the tank but it was such a pain taking pictures and videos on it.

Looks great! Keep up the great work!
