Red Sea Reefer 3XL 900 FOWLR Dream Build - Lots of pics.

[Jeffcb]

Tomini Tang is doing well and is finally calm enough to pose for pics. I don't really like the pic color. Light Room adjusted to 20k but I think I will try so F85 filter shots to see the diff.

I have had this guy for over a year. I wish I would of recorded purchase dates. Its probably in build thread.


Edit : I got him Oct 17 2020. So I have had him for 1yr 10mos. He was originally in my Reefer 250 but ended up getting transferred in with the big boys because he was a coral nipper.

Bi-monthly 38 g water change...... gotta do it.

I haven't performed water changes on my 750XXL for over a year now (other than a slight volume when cleaning out the sump). And now with the ozone system the water is cleaner than ever...

 

[Jeffcb]

Need to stir that sand up.

Added 4 Sand Stars and 6 Fighting Conchs

@Jeffcb looks like a Brazilian flameback and not an African flameback. Brazil's have blue tail and African's have white tail.

Very interesting. His tail is very orange. I will try and get a better pic. Pretty sure he is Centropyge Acanthops

Cleaned out the garage and the new fish hauler fits, barley. With the big engine it gets the fish home really quick. lol

Ready for hail season!.

Shout out to Rei at Mag-Float. Great customer service.

The magnets in the handle came loose and it wouldn't stay polarized. He replaced it for me.

Mag Float works great!!

@Jeffcb how do you like your Hanna salinity checker? I just bought one but haven't used or read the instructions yet. I've heard you have to calibrate them each time before use? Is this true?

Calibrate once a month. I don't that often though. For water changes I look at the number is shows the tank to be and mix the salt to the same number. Works great. Was 33 last night so I made 33 salt water for the change today.

EMERGENCY!! My poor tang has spots all over it. What could it be?

Nice little, kind of big really worm in a filter sock.

Defiantly the fire type. I have the little stickers in my hand from cleaning the sock. Very firey.

Added a Starry Blenny or Snowflake Blenny about 2 weeks ago but didn't post it because he diapered by the next day. I figured he was a goner.

I saw him yesterday and today. He eats well. This dude is huge . Every bit of 4-5 inches and fat. Pics soon.

I love Star Fish. I have 2 Chocolate Chips and a bunch of sand shifters I only see at night.

I need to find some more,
