Stop! Guys, I'm touched, and thank you all for the offers, but I'm going to have a lot to do getting everything back to normal in this tank if it's gotten this far out of hand. Aquabiomics has been hellishly slow getting my results back, and I've been through a course of Cipro and a course of Amoxicilin, so if it's bacterial, it's beyond my ability to treat and will need to be sterilized. I have the split tank which has all new equipment besides the sump, which I intend to sterilize tomorrow (At work, because why not get paid for my hobby). This is probably going upstairs now, instead of the basement, so that I can properly monitor it. My game room will just become a fish room.

I'm thinking an alk over 12 coming from an alk of 8 may be the culprit..but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. Could be the combo of everything from alk to nutrients is a good.bit higher in the tank and it just shocks them?

If you need a wavemaker, I have a tunze turbelle 6095 you can have. Very gently use, just doesn't fit my needs

When I got the split tank, I bought two Maxspect Gyre 330's. When I take down the empty frag tank this will give me a total of 4. When I take down the display tank, this will give me two more icecap 2k gyres. The split tank will be bare bottom, and I have over 100 lbs of live rock in a brute quietly waiting for the time to be right.

Apparently some people think this is a just punishment. Seems petty. Small minds.

And btw. This is just....you know.

That might be true. And unfortunately I only did a three step acclimation. Bag water, half and half, and then into the tank over the course of three hours. (One of the main reasons I didn't have a video, or do an interpretive dance)

Maybe just bring the alk and calcium down over a few weeks and try for a bit lower nutrients. The alk number is dancing with the devil on the high end. At around 8 everything from torches, zoas, gonis, acros do well and there's some play room. Whenever you're ready just let me know and I'll shoot some frags up to you for R&D. You know we got ya when you're ready...and don't be an idiot like me and never ask when you are ready. I've had to learn it's aight to take some help every now and again.

 

[Special K]

Gonna forget everything I know and let Shane guide me back to success. Probably the right way at this point.

We are all here for you when the time comes and you feel your tank is ready. You have been generous to everyone so now it’s time to return the favor.

First things first. I gotta clear out the 'Game room' to become a Fish Room.



I might just enjoy this part.

Wow! What kind of games do you play in there?

This! Let me know when you think your tank is good to go again, and I'll send one of the frag colonies we got this sale. If they live in our tank, they should live in anyone's!

@StatelineReefer agree with @Thuan and @Rennurdoar and others in this little reefing group. Good deeds don't go unnoticed and you've been a solid member to others.

 

[Thuan]

I have no doubt Shane @SBB Corals can help @StatelineReefer like he did with you

 

[AKL1950]

Cool. Different toys for different boys. Here’s my game room. Entire room is paddedb for those less than perfect shots.

Wow @StatelineReefer I'm so sorry, just getting caught up. If there's anything I can help with, I would be glad to help.

I would love to set one of these up in my basement

For pickle ball?

... Is it bad that all I could think was 'Air Force sure does end up in padded rooms a lot'...

It’s pretty nice. SkyTrak system with all the bells and whistles. You need at least 9’ ceilings and a 14’ long room so you can do full swings with a driver.

Well……..I have no comment your honor.

I worked with a company called Full Swing Golf that makes those types of simulators, they were like 30 grand and pretty impressive.

I suppose I should qualify this. In the interest of not picking on a specific branch of any military. Two of my boys are US Marines. One is out, and one is in for life. My kids grandfather (Wifes first marriage) is Navy. My boss is typical Army, my boss before that was Atypical army (Psyops guy). My uncles are Navy and Air Force respectively, and my wife's father was Air Force.

We only really disrespect the Coast Guard, everything else is love and respect.
