Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

[Katrina71]

He needs one for Christmas...

His birthday is tomorrow and he gave it his best effort!

But Christmas is right around the corner.

Finally figured it out. I think... gotta go get some hose tomorrow to hook it up.

That looks correct turtle [emoji217]

Lurking still, sorry about the issues you've had, don't rush the "system", I think we need to get a system update as to how it is running, looks to me like (if it was my tank) it is time to take a breath?!
Hope you feel better soon!

The tank is looking good given the recent hickup. Water is crystal clear. Corals look good given what they've been thru. The surviving SPS isn't as colorful and fuzzy as it could be, but it's looking better every day. The BTA hasn't moved since getting it attached in that little crevass in the rock. I thought that to be the best place for it, it's got good flow and it's foot is protected. Turns out it agrees, for now. The cardinal and basslet were moved over. The basslet has been hiding since, the cardinal just kinda hangs out until feeding time. Maui is, well... he's Maui. Tiny Tim likes his hidey hole in the rock but I see him out swimming occasionally.

For now, I'm on hold with the tank. I haven't felt like doing anything and my extra funds are tied up with the holidays approaching. I think after the first of the year, we'll see about adding some more livestock and coral.

I like it. Your coral loss could be from going from a lower light to a higher light. Just a guess.

How’s the tank and how are you feeling?

 

[SashimiTurtle]

The tank is doing great. LPS are all fluffy and puffy, SPS keep getting more color and PE. Fish are pigs... I feel better but I'm really concerned that if I cough any more, my head might very well explode.

Bonfire party tomorrow night in the back yard, you're all invited! Y'all can come see the tank for youself, and possibly even witness my head exploding.

Pics or it didn't happen

Tank, bonfire, or exploded head?

 

[Fence13]

Exploded head would probably be more interesting.... But I'll settle for tank pictures

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Here ya go @Fence13, that ought to satisfy you for a few minutes at least.

 

[sfin52]

Man that’s a nice looking tank

 

[sfin52]

Maui is also looking good

Thanks, I'm still not happy with it yet... tho it is starting to come together. I need more corals and fish swimming everywhere... but we need to wait on the tank to mature more.

 

[sfin52]

That’s the hardest part waiting.

Maui and the blenny (forgot it's name sorry!) are my favorite part.

Sorry I’m temporarily disoriented from my original position I won’t be able to attend your head explosion party.
