The Miracle Tank

I would like to keep it under 100 if possible. I like the gyre pumps but you have to have a controler.

I'm partial to the Nero 5 knock-offs Jebao is selling. I know, blasphemy, but they're REALLY effective at moving water. The settings allow for a nice random flow over my corals as well, so it might be worth it, only issue I could see is if you have a nem... Nems can get sucked through the back cover, even at half strength flow, and end up 'splitting' the unfortunate way.

Just looked up the jeabo. $45? Heck ya. I might put those on my 40g breeder

 

[Katrina71]

Jebao here too.

I paid 90 each for mine, but I got a pair of SLW-20's

I want to get their wavemakers, but I'm probably going to go with icecap for those, since some strange brand loyalty is growing within me for Coralvue after winning that cabinet.

 

[sfin52]

Jabao it is

So, I did smart things with my stimulus.

New sump, 30x18, thing looks HUGE compared to my old sump, which was just a Somatic 60 (Free skimmer, couldn't complain). I still have to replumb to put it in, so that is another day of projects. $300, supported LFS, double win.

4 new coral frags, one of them a big chonky mini colony, $120 Supported LFS, triple win.

New colony from AquaSD. Going to take a frag off it, and give the rest to the LFS growout... Spent too much, but worth it. $131, Supporting LFS directly now. C-C-C-C-COMBO!

Allowed me to combine shipping for a deep blue granulosa frag. 24 bucks. Combo-Breaker!

Two absolute STEALS of frags from Pieces of the Ocean. A maroon granulosa, like, deep blood red... and a jade blue-green indo frag that I just couldn't pass up... $98 even. LFS broodstock being grown out in my tank! Flawless Victory... Fatality!

 

[Katrina71]

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[StatelineReefer]

That colony is just.... I don't know what to say!

 

[StatelineReefer]

Pics or it didn't happen.

Everything arrives on Wednesday, so you will not have to wait long for actual pics.

Not entirely reefing related but after a long day I completed just over half of the rough in work on the Landry room. Wiring, new LED pot lights, finished running the RODI lines. Re-insulated, poly and built a false wall inwards so I can move some duct work and install a steel duct for the dryer vent. Lots of work still to do but it's something I'm really enjoying and the wife already loves the warmer floor

Hope everyone else had a nice productive day once they got done talking about feet!

 

[StatelineReefer]

This thread will never be done talking about feets

 

[StatelineReefer]

I can't wait to see how that red gran shifts color in my tank.
I can tell it doesn't want to stay red!

 

[StatelineReefer]

And the little 24 dollar absolute steal of a frag that I cannot wait to see as a colony in my tank...

Bring cake... kids forgot my birthday.

 

[Katrina71]

Ugh. Birthdays. The boys started laughing when I told them how old I am. Then Hippie Kid said "dude, she's serious". The little one immediately popped off with "you look 32" I busted out laughing!

 

[Katrina71]

Looks like rain this week. Maybe I'll get some stand pics in.
