So, Brett, is this your new tank?
My plumbing for the RO/DI should arrive the end of this week, so you can show your significant how much mine puts up with :mrgreen:

[gregzz4]

Greg, how long have you had your Blondie?

I can't wait to see! If you've been through my many build threads you'll know I practice some pretty ghetto stuff along the way. I still duck going up and down the stairs here even though the MESS of wires, plumbing, shelves and dosing equipment is no longer strapped to the wall and draped across the stairs! :lol:

[gregzz4]

Lets get some pics of that on your build so my wife will appreciate how clean I am doing this build :lol:
All kidding aside, I showed Donna the hi-lights of lastlight's huge thread and all the nice construction you claim to have done yourself.
I gotta say, if we wanted our tank downstairs, I'd model it after yours.
Good thing for me the DT is going in the LRoom :mrgreen:

[gregzz4]

So Grizz, how long?

[gregzz4]

And another thought ....
Don't you just hate it when you find that piece of equipment you want, and then the seller bails 'cause, at the last minute, they think, "well, maybe I should keep it as a back-up"?
Then why the bleep did you offer it to me in the first place?!!!

sometimes lady luck smiles upon you........being a finishing carpenter by trade Im usually an "indoor" kind of guy for work.....recently things had been slow for the crew I normally work with so I have been working with a friend that I met through Canreef and Red Coral....this friend does renovations so the work I do with him varies greatly.....everything from finishing to tiling to insulating to drywall etc, etc.....this week we have been shingling the roof on a big project that he has......its snowing at the moment here in Cowtown so the boss called a snow day and gave us the day off.....so as Im sitting here drinking coffee, enjoying Canreef, my newly acquired blue spot jawfish jumps from the tank and hits the carpet...... if circumstances had been any different (working with my usual crew or no snow) I would have come home to a CCC (crispy carpet critter).....sometimes things do go your way

The parakeet tank reminds me of this post I read on another forum:

When I was 10 years old, my best friend Billy moved into a nearby apartment that had a huge fish tank built into the back patio. His mom stocked it with fish, and we used to play legos out there every afternoon. You see back in the 80s, we didn't have these legos for pussies you guys have now. You knew you were playing with space legos because some pieces were translucent, and the little yellow dudes had helmets. That's how you figured that out.

And one day, we discovered that the plastic nozzle at the end of the fish tank air compressor fit quite snuggly into the centrally placed hole on this certain ubiquitous lego piece. This thing: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/970632_1_x_2_Beams. Not airtight, but enough that tightly built lego constructs would pressurize sufficient to keep water out.

Out first undersea mission featured two bewildered grasshoppers manning a decidedly boxy submarine. We put a window in it for them, which I can only suppose in retrospect magnified their terror. It seemed important to me at the time that they be able to visually participate in the process. They returned dry and alive. Two weeks later, a veritable grasshopper Rapture spread across the fish tank bottom, powered by three compressors and populated by over a hundred grasshoppers. Enough water and humidity squeezed in to keep them alive, bolstered by random heaps of greens we hurled into the airlocks.

A month after that, a freak accident broke open one of the corridors, sending the entire population into the merciless sea, to be devoured by a large parrotfish named Gertrude. Gertrude died the next day, presumably of indigestion.

Legos own. RIP Grasshopper Atlantis & Gertrude.

Sorry to hear about the Naso Greg. Hope he starts eating again..

[The Grizz]

Greg, how long have you had your Blondie?

So Grizz, how long?

Only had it for a couple months, it was very fat and eating anything I would feed until just recently. He withered away fast and died on Sunday.

[Delphinus]

Wow that is quite the serendipity. Good to hear this time the stars aligned just right!

When I worked at a local pet shop in the late 80s, we found a teddy bear hamster that had probably been running loose for a while. When we caught it, it was the size of a small guinea pig with its cheeks stuffed completely full. As soon as it was caught, the bugger began spitting up everything. There was probably half a cup of seeds and food pellets, bits of garbage, some straw, some kid's candy, and a complete full-size plastic shopping bag. You would swear a big dog couldn't fit all that cr@p into its mouth and all this stuff came out of a HAMSTER!!!!

Ya my Blonde Naso stopped eating for some reason and withered away, died on Sunday.

[Delphinus]

Oh I didn't realize he died on you .. I missed that part somehow. Last thing I read was that he stopped eating. Sorry to hear it man. That stings. :(

[Nano]

yeah thats a total bummer. I havent lost a fish in a long time until I tried a tailspot blenny before I got my scooter. the tailspot didnt fair to well, I lost him in less then 24 hours due to poor acclimation. I was sooooo bummed, ask Steve lol.

[Trabby]

Seriously?! One day back to school after the holidays and now my youngest is home with pink eye?!

[Nano]

maybe one of the older ones farted on the pillows ;)
Just kidding
That sucks my little brother had pink when he was 6.. seems like a very big discomfort.

cleaning house and preparing the tank slowly for disassembly i thought i would like the paly's but find them annoying now. selling off some corals i care less for and the ones im keeping will end up in the 50 for temp residency. some will stay. this way when i move the tank into our kitchen i can still run it with the fish in it but dont have toworry about corals and lighting.

I just went through your whole 50 gallon build, that was a real trip! thats so cool what you did with the "DIY" rock wall/rock pillar/return! Very creative very clean! I would love to see an update if its still rollin! thats going to be my problem in my new cube is aquascaping! its shallow so it will need shelves me thinks. pillars with shelves

Note to self ...
When ordering from BRS, remember they like to only ship to Canada on Thursday for Friday border crossings.

I placed an order on the 31st that didn't ship until Jan 5th.

Just got about 100lbs of chemicals from BRS. The UPS guy was pretty grumpy when I said thanks as he was trying to run off after their customary doorbell ring and jet. Considering the ups fees this sorta made me feel a bit better haha.

[gregzz4]

Ya, my UPS guy just dumps stuff in front of the door, hits the bell and bolts. I asked the area manager if this was company policy, and was told that it's up to the Driver's discretion. If they have not had any lost parcels in the area, then have at 'er.
This upset me as the first BRS shipment in question, which was sitting on my front doorstep when I got home that night, cost me nearly $500.00

[lastlight]

I had to search the entire condo complex once. Found my box (worth nearly $800 to me) sitting in some tall weeds and grass in the backyard of a unit not even occupied! It happened to be the unit next to me (on the left) so they got close but I began my search walking to the right making it the last place I checked! I was using some colorful language that day! I started hunting after the tracking status changed to DELIVERED TO OWNER. Calling UPS was useless so out I went.

[gregzz4]

Guess he hid it so nobody could scoop it. Still, it sure gets under your skin.
The wife works afternoons, so she's mostly home when packages arrive if I'm out, but there have been enough times that the doorbell has woken her once too many times on the same morning :redface:

[Madreefer]

I ordered at $1350 skimmer and some other supplies and told store not to ship. They did anyways. Went away on a long weekend and package was dropped off on a Friday afternoon. Good thing I had asked a buddy to drive by sometime on weekend, he happen to check that day. Good thing as a public walkway goes by my house

A $1350 skimmer would have made a skookum bong for some low life.

Ya I would think a lowlife wouldn't have any clue of the what the stuff is that gets left on our door steps if its anything related to this hobby. Probably would just end up throwing in to a ditch.

Wonder how well a claim would go in that instance if it had gone for a walk
And that's my complaint with UPS, my front door stares straight down the sidewalk to the main road, only about 30 feet away

Thats ridiculous. stupid UPS

[gregzz4]

Well, there ya go. I wait until I can wait no longer, and go out @ 2:00. I get back just now and sure enough, there's my box @ the door. Good bloody thing none of these have gone for a walk yet.

[lockrookie]

i refuse to ship ups if i can help it. thier ring and run mentality comes from some childhood prankster running the company. if we where comercial companies we would get more respect but residentail dropoff are in thier eyes a waste of time. i told off the ups guy here one day i doubt ill be getting any better service.

[gregzz4]

I pretty much have no choice as these orders were coming from BRS

[whatcaneyedo]

They ring? Not in my experience. I sat at home all day waiting for my last delivery. Late in the afternoon I took a peek outside the door and there was an attempted delivery notice stuck to it. I WAS HOME. They just stuck the notice there without ringing or knocking.

[Nano]

laziness.

I've had that happen at least twice in the past when getting coral shipped. Both shipments died from UPS stupidity. No knock. No ring. Even had a bloody sign on my door to the UPS guy saying "UPS, I'm home over here and waiting for delivery". The idiot stuck his "attempted delivery" note NEXT to mine, even though I was sitting in my livingroom all bloody day waiting for both shipments. Happened months apart. Now its just less stressful to drive up to Powell River and pick up the corals myself than to depend on bleeping UPS!!!!

Serious? thats so retarded! I know we always get called from the post office, "your package was dropped off by UPS yesterday) I shouldnt say always just the 2 times we ordered something. its ridiculous, is it really that much to ask some one to do their job to the fullest? or even half a$$ed?

[The Grizz]

UPS are the only ones that will deliver out to my place but they ALWAYS lose the package for a week before it actually gets here. If its major important I have it sent to my dads place in town. I have yet to order livestock from online but there will be a day when I do & I will have to figure out the best way to do it.

In short UPS SUCKS!!!

I agree and will refuse to buy anything that is shipped via UPS especially from the US

[Nano]

its getting to that time again... ----------------------------------------> --------------------------------------> --------------------^ almost at 1000 lol

[gregzz4]

Jeez you talk a lot :lol:
Weren't you just at 300 before x-mas?

[Nano]

closer to 400 I think lol I think the first 500 came really fast cause I had a ton of questions and arguments on here tho, now its just me not shutting up ever :lol:

[jorjef]

The "almost" fail proof system for courier deliver I have used in the past is to get the shipping company to mark the package "hold at depot for pickup" and go get it myself.

[Myka]

At that rate you should be there by about...tomorrow morning. Jeez, I've been here 4 years and haven't hit 700 yet.

[Nano]

thats ok, I dont really care to be honest, I'm just here to learn and ask questions in order to learn. so whether I am at 100 or 1000 I don't see a problem. if it keeps me from making major mistakes especially:smile:

EDIT
Plus it seemed like a very social site when I joined, and being that there are no reefers in my town (aside from the "reefer" reefers)
It seemed like a good place to come to learn and share and what not.

Finds it totally ironic that in The "Karate Kid" movie......Jaden Smith was chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool, and shootin' some b-ball outside of the school, when a couple of guys - they were up to no good, started making trouble in the neighborhood. He got in one little fight and his mom got scared and said "You gotta learn karate from the maintenance man downstairs."

My sister-in-law Grace (Irene's older sister) was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Her incompetent doctor was asked to look at it a year and a half ago but kept telling Grace that it was nothing, and never sent her for a mammogram or other testing. Finally did some tests in the last couple of weeks and Grace has second-third stage cancer. Did her first chemo last Friday. It was very hard on her.

Fortunately her faith is very strong and she has a lot of support.

Thanks, and sorry to hear about Grace hope she is able to beat it.

Unfortunately Chris has stage 4 pancreatic cancer which there is no cure for. The cancer has spread to the majority of all his organs. The Doctors figured he'd live a few weeks to a few months last June so it's amazing that he's lived as long as he has and has been doing as well as he has been. Just sucks that he's staring to go downhill now :sad:

Biggest waste of money ever: Hanna Phosphate Checker.

This putrid looking brown hair algae is having an absolute heyday on all the rock that was added to my stuff from the previous tank. So I do two tests tonight to determine whether my gfo needs replacing after only 2 weeks in operation.

Both tests: 0.00

When you're already ****ed because it's damn near impossible to get all the damn reagent out of those little packets let alone into the vial... and it slaps you with a zero reading twice... I damn near threw the thing out! :twised:

I've heard they are very particular, you have to measure exactly right and follow the instructions perfectly or they wont work. Going to try one out later on my tank, I'll let you know how it goes.

I find measuring phosphate one of the more frustrating exercises in the domain of "measuring stuff" in this hobby. Second only to measuring potassium (which still reigns supreme, IMHO, as one of the most asinine methods of testing anything, you'd have more accurate results by licking your finger, sticking said finger into the tank, and then stating out loud, emphatically, the first random number that pops into your head. It's important that you state it out loud emphatically, if you have any hesitation or politeness in your tone when stating the number, you have to perform the test again).

Hanna sure doesn't make it convenient to get their little powdered reagents into those little test tubes, without spilling some. I've discovered a whole new repertoire of swearing thanks to those little checkers.

(At least the Alk checker uses a liquid reagent: soooo much easier to use and get consistent results.)

The best test kit I ever used for measuring PO4 was the D-D/Merck low-range kit. You can't get it anymore. Which is a real shame, it was the ONLY test kit I found you could really have any confidence in the numbers produced... Every other one, Hanna included, you really have to take the results with a small grain of salt.

[Parker]

That dissapoints me, I thought I was doing well with the Hanna as my results seemed to drop steadily when I was using it to test while bumping up my pellets. Now I'm doubting my numbers. You couldn't let me live in my own happy little world could you! :D

[Delphinus]

You're one of the weird ones IMO. Which, don't get me wrong, I WISH I was one of the weird ones who can discern a deterministic trend when testing PO4.

Everytime I've complained about the numbers I get, I get 1 of 3 potential replies (I even took my concerns to Hanna directly when I was using the predecessor of the checker, a larger blue coloured photometer that retailed at the time closer to $300 :neutral: )

1) Your PO4 is low enough, stop whining (never mind the PO4 related symptoms in the tank they must be because you are crazy)

2) Those variable readings are well within the specified error range, so you must be crazy

3) Mine works just fine so you must be crazy. I just took a single test reading on my tank, it said 0.00, and I only need one test per year to know that this is correct.

4) (I never said I could count) Did you try cleaning your test vial? It has to be very clean. Oh you clean the test vial beforehand? Then you must be crazy. Oh wait, did you try cleaning it with RO/DI? Oh you did. Well fine then, you must be crazy.

If someone would just hand me the @#$%!!! koolaid, I would happily drink it.

[jorjef]

^^^^^^ So, tell me how you really feel!!^^^^^^ That was a good Monday morning read...lololol

[lastlight]

I think I got a reading of 0.01 once on the 97g but otherwise my tests are always 0.00 and I am following the instructions to a t.

So what's the accepted excuse these days for zero readings and lots of algae? Since mine is only on my new rock I was guessing that the p04 is leached from those rocks and used 'on-site' before it can get into the water column. Don't even know if that's possible... I mean the rock has a billion nooks and crannies without algae so wouldn't it get into the water still? Also the stuff is growing on my powerheads even worse than the new rock.

0.00 <- Oh boy!

[Parker]

It's an odd feeling to feel like idiot for having something that doesn't work for so many people work for me.. I watched it go from .04 to .03 to .001 to .00, low reading confrirmed by a Seachem test kit, but who know's ho reliable the Seachem test is as well.

Dunno what to think now.

[Delphinus]

Oh I forgot to list that one. I knew there was another one I was missing. Yeah, that's an accepted excuse: that the algae is absorbing it and therefore there's nothing left to test.

Seems reasonably plausible to me I suppose.

[lastlight]

So the p04 moves so quickly in the water to be used for algae on my powerheads that the test kit can't detect it eh? nuts! I'll try turning all flow off to slow down the p04. Also someone told me p04 moves slower in chillier water so I'll shut my heaters off too!

I'll retest with slower p04 and hopefully grab some! I'll let you guys know =)

[fishoholic]

The last time I tested my pO4 the readings were so high they were off the chart, pretty sure that hasn't changed since I'm having cyano issues. It'll be interesting to see what the Hanna checker says.

[reefwars]

i just quit checking for phos, i run gfo so the way i see it is if they are there then im not gonna add anything else so i just change my gfo every 6 wks.

since i have no algae besides some film on the glass im assuming they are absorbed or used up through my fuge in either case im happy.


nitrates is a diff story i do nothing for them so they go up and down

I just added a ball of chaeto 2 days ago so that's not it I don't think.

I'm still left wondering if I should replace my GFO or not... it's not cheap so I'm hesitant to just toss it after 2 weeks... :twised:

The alternative is to 'wait and see' but if this crap grows back on my powerheads and other areas it'll be another few hours of cleaning up the mess!

Maybe this is a stupid thought, but why not test for PO4 before the lights come on? This way the algae has been resting all night and not consuming it.

SERIOUSLLY!!! How can a 70 lbs dog hurt a 1000 lbs cow!!

He called & asked if I was missing a dog, I said I was not sure but would come right over to see if it was mine or someone else. Took less then 5 min for me to get there. From the time he called to the time I arrived he had already shot my Hurc..........wife is hysterical, kids are balling & I want to cause some major pain.

Very dark, evil, twisted, sadistic, vengeful, morbid thoughts running threw my head causing me so much pain ATM. I have never wish harm to come to anyone in my life before until now. He killed a member of our family for no reason and there is nothing I can do about it. There is a law that states he can shot any animal if he feels it is causing harm to his livestock. For god sake he raises them to be slaughtered.

Ever have one of those days when it feels like all you're doing is spinning your wheels?
Yesterday I decided to play with the new RKL to get all my heaters ( 8 of them ) pre-set.
So I finally find myReef 2.0 after registering on the DA site. Then I need .Net 2.0 to run myReef. It took an hour and a half to get all the downloads installed from Microstuffed.
OK, now I install myReef and it takes numerous tries to get it to recognize the V2 SID. Get that firmware updated. Then it won't read the RKL Head unit. Click, close, open, unplug, plug in, click, click CLICK. AARGHH. There's no menu instructions. So, by fluke, I click on a row of ???????? and it asks me what module I'm working with. Finally I find the Head unit and update the firmware, then a PC4. Great. So far so good. This is 2 1/2 hours so far ....
Now I can't program the PC4 - whaaat is goin on ?????
I can plug in the Head unit or the PC4, but not both, to the program.
2 hours of reading and I go to bed.
Today I tackle the web again and finally run across a blurb with instructions on the not-so-easily navigated DA site.
Basically it says to power up the unit and plug in the SID. There's nothing about that in the Quick Start Guide, the User Manual or the myReef Manual !!!
I didn't try that up to this point as I wasn't sure it was safe to have it powered up while plugged into the usb.
TADA !! Now I can program the PC4.
Shame on DA for crappy instructions in the box, the Manual and the Quick Start Guide.

3 x 200w in the sump on the RKL + 2 x 250w set lower direct to the wall; and one each for rock curing, the ATO, New water and QT tanks
I'm using the RKL to make sure there won't be any drastic differences
I already had the 250s so I may as well use them, but prefer to use the 200s on this setup. Plus some backup never hurts, not that I don't trust the RKL, but I don't trust the RKL :mrgreen:

The only way to tell is to open the back. There will be a little foam like tube wrapped in plastic inside the marker. Take the plastic off, and get to the center of it. There will be instructions in the middle, most likely in Chinese. You will need to get this traslated. This will be messy, be sure to wear white and lick your fingers clean after.
