Got home yesterday and the puddle presists. After a busy evening with the kids I finally got them into bed and immediately I started my investigation of this illusive leak. I tighten all the fitting and bulk heads like every mentioned and sat back down to plan out my nightmareish weekend ahead of me but to my surprise the drip has stopped. God what a relief, I was so close to taking a bat to the whole tank, although it would've made a even bigger mess but that was my mind frame at the time. Its was funny I checked all around the fitting yesterday and the bulk head but I guess it was such a small leak, it was jsut hard to detect. regardless its sealed for now. Thanks for all the concerns from the canreef community. You guys are amazing!:smile:

Awesome, good to hear.
Now i can stop by and grab some frags... something is messing up my tank and sps is not very happy... cant figure out what the problem is, guess i"m going to test again once I get home tonight.

So far i lost a 5" pocchi small colony :( in less than a day... came home and it was a skeleton...

Maybe I can stop by and take a look at your system next week some time if you want.

You sure like to scare us, don't you,... with the new leak, and all the crazy talk. But glad it's all under control again,... and you're back to normal.

It is not surprising to have a small leak with all the changes and plumbing you had to do with your bulkheads and new sump. Any time there is a change, that is always a risk, and could be problems. But hopefully, they are minor and easily fixable.

Hope you get a chance to relax now, and enjoy that beautiful tank again.

WOW what ride. Sorry to hear about all your problems . Good to hear they are getting solved.

Chris

Sounds good, but I'd have to warn you... its nothing compared to what you have running :(

Glad to help.

Glad you fixed the problem.
I sure didn't want you to quit.

Thats good news been a crazy couple weeks for you. Things are on the up and up now.

If he quit, I'd pit my 170lbs against his rather larger body in an effort to change his mind :lol:

Maybe it wouldn't get me far, but it might make him re-think things :wink:

OK, now I've just opened up a whole area for someone like Kien to jump in with the comments ....

He's what, 225+? Have fun with that -lol

I have tricks :rolleyes:, plus I'm persuasive :lol:

Now that one is going to get Kien going for sure :)

Some entertainment might be good right about now

But, if I ever have to tangle with Rich, we'll be sure to get some pics or vids :mrgreen:

I hear his 'threshold' has been pushed lately with his leaking issues :boink:

It's all good, I'll make sure he keeps reefing, even if it kills both of us

You guys are too much. I am only 180 lbs of lean muscle. Well, 180 plus tax....... :mrgreen:

I have no idea what those bozos are talking about. I am an upstanding member of this forum that takes reefing and this community very seriously. I treat everyone with the utmost respect and conduct myself with the highest level of decency and etiquette.

lmao, no you don't. :wink:

You couldn't even TYPE that with a straight face , let alone say it.....:biggrin:

Dude im 230 pounds you sure your not forgetting to add 100 to that 180 lol. We don't charge that much tax even in Canada lol. Good to hear the leaks stopped.

Damn HST. lol

So as of yesterday I got the big three in line. 7.5 alk 410 cal and 1350 for mag. I have a couple of large sps colony losing some tissue at the tips. I suspect its due to my alk swing, anyways lets see if they bounce back.

I took some pictures yesterday and thought I share with errbody.

It's looking good! How well behaved is your Clown Tang? The last one I had turned into a terrorist and wanted to kill everybody in the tank without discretion. Needless to say I had to rehome him. Love those fish though.

He is one of the smaller tangs in the tank just under 4 inches, when you compare him to the 10 inch naso he is like little mouse. I also have a very aggressive purple tang, yellow, and achilles tang to keep him in check. My worst fear is maybe one day he might just turn on every one. If that does happen I will not hesitate to harpoon the little mf out.

Oh he's pretty small. Hopefully the other tangs will keep him in check. I almost had to resort to the harpoon with mine. He killed a parrot fish in my FOWLR before I could get him out. :cry:

Glad to hear everything has levelled out. stunning photos as always

wall-to-wall awesome!

Well said!

Good to hear that everything is back in order! :biggrin: see you later this week!

Rich, forgot to share these pics of your DT back in Jan. hope you don't mind me sharing with others too. :biggrin:

Looking great, as always,... very inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Rich.

And I am impressed with that iPhone, has good depth of field. My iPad takes terrible tank pics, up close.

Thanks Walter, I think the only reason you see depth is cause you have seen my tank in person. lol Really appreciate your kind words.

Wow, very nice. I just finished cleaning up a bit on my tank thinkin' it wasn't looking too bad, then I come here...
Your tank looks amazing.

What kind of substrate do you have Rich?

He uses this one
