trouble in paradise has continued so last night i gave the system a massive shot to the arm. 90g water change which meant there was only about 20g left in the tank. was pretty nerve-wracking but i was able to clean my sump and reset all my water. i've suspected my issues lie with elevated chloride levels due to all the magnesium dosing i've been doing. that and low or high levels of things i cannot measure.

so far the 3 pieces of sps that were looking really rough continue to do so but at a glance the rest of the tank looks like the day before. fingers crossed. i might have to get even more extreme and invest in a prayer reactor.

Things are slowly looking a bit better in the tank but my sps has a really long way to go before I'd call it colourful.

Earlier this week when it looked like I'd have to sell my leopard wrasse because it was being bullied I actually stole back the little frag tank I'd bought for the 404 build from my buddy. He built an 8 foot frag tank for the 404 so he didn't mind too much lol. I was going to try and keep her in this tank since I'm really attached.

Turns out the wrasses are both getting along again perfectly. No idea what that was all about. I went and setup the tank anyways! I stuffed it under the freebie cabinets I tossed up in the basement. This is beyond ghetto. I'm pretty damn proud of it :lol:

Looks like the build quality on your tank stands has dropped just a touch lol. I still think your 3 part doser shelf from the last build has this beat hands down though in the ghettoness department.

Thanks guys. Here's a new piece I picked up yesterday. Fiji Green Pipe Organ.

My regal tang that now resides in Concept's FOWLR 16" display tank ate my whole colony of organ pipe. Just another reason he had to move out.

Thanks. I wish I still had that pipe organ you gave me that hitch-hiked in with one of your coral orders. I think it's the same one you lost to the tang... it was really nice too.

lastlight

11-18-2013, 05:40 PM

Lol thanks. I have the lights off in the room so that helps gives some corals the black background. Otherwise I think it's shooting with F22 that squeezes the light out of the background of shots where there is stuff behind the corals. I don't really know much about my camera or the terminology.

You'd laugh if you saw my 'workflow'.

1. shoot a metric butt-tonne of photos
2. toggle between them and pick the best one for each shot. mostly check and pray one is mostly in focus
3. open in photoshop and do the following to every one:

3a. auto colour
3b. auto contrast
3c. auto tone

photoshop allows you to fade from 0 - 100% the effect of each of these. sometimes a command totally messes with the shot and you don't apply it at all.

3d. sharpen

Mine swim on occasion but I think there is too much flow for them so they tend to mostly 'snake' around. They mostly swim when going to a different teir of the reef.

04-07-2014, 05:28 AM

thanks!

Denny suggested placing it in the general area you feed in. I feed pellets in that spot as well as feed all the acans a couple times a week. So far it seems really happy. I've been told it's a slow grower but it has its polyps out almost all the time to some degree or another and has not receded at all.

better sneak an update in before year's end! after letting the tank do its thing for a long time i've been doing regular water changes for the last couple months and changing my media again. things have been colouring back up and it's been really nice to see things turn around and start growing again. i've been battling zoanthid eating nudis and manually suck them off my colonies as best i can and have a melanurus now which seems to also be helping. my sps troubles seem to be turning around as well. one day i hope to have a RED red planet!

couple fts i'm not overly thrilled with to start with. i can't get back far enough to use the macro for fts which i love the look of. my cheap kit 18-70mm is the only one that can fit it all in.

when you're spending an hour tweezing grape caulerpa off a rock it's nice to have an attentive helper to lift your spirits.

Wow tank looks great. Nicely done! Looking back at your last FTS... What's the name of that hot pink/orange looking zoa on the left side of your tank?

my wife and i have both wanted a mandarin for a long time but i wasn't confident i could sustain one. i had an opportunity to purchase one that eats pellets and frozen so i jumped on it! just love watching this tubby guy piloting himself thru the tank. i had tentatively named him lord tubbington until i realized this sounded familiar because it was the name of some cat off the show GLEE. yeah gotta stop watching tv with my wife :biggrin:

my other fish got jealous so i snapped a few of them too. and yes i have ich. i think i've always had it actually.

Thanks guys!

beautiful man who said leds cant grow corals

Mine can't grow blue SPS! I must need some more channels or something lol. The tort I got from you is still blue but has lost quite a bit. It's encrusted some and sprouted a few little nubs so at least it's healthy otherwise.
