The only person that did it. also killed all there corals and they used alot of perxide to get rid of dinos
|
Peroxide works wonders, I had a go of dinos in my frag tank and did a 5 day blackout and dosed peroxide during the blackout and for 3 weeks after. I was dosing 2 ml for every 10 gallons each day. I lost a frag of utter chaos and that was all. Had a few lps, couple of sps and softies/zoas in there at the time.

Warren, do you have an army of Emerald Crabs in there? Some Emerald crabs and some Naso Tangs eat it.

Wow awesome tank, what did you use to build that screen? Starting to add some fish to my tank and definitely don't want any accidental jumpers. I'd love to see the tank in real life one day!

Corals are really coming along buddy, great job!

Nice pics Warren! Glad to hear things are finally turning the corner for you. By the way did you keep those kessils? They make nice night lights...

Update. I'm one of the laziest people I know. I've had this fixture for months... and just hung it today. ATI 8 x 39W. Front ------- Blue + Blue + Blue + Coral + Actinic Blue + Purple + Blue + https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1524/...8280a291_o.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1560/...c9057b65_o.jpg Bubble algae still completely out of control. Looks as if the only way to remove it will be with tweezers. Sigh. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1554/...0dab9855_o.jpg Forgot to mention, I lost a few Montis because of these little buggers... Montipora Eating Nudibrachs... the reason for my adding 3 wrasses at once. You can see them munching on a Rainbow Monti on the left. If there's one thing I've learnt from my short time in this hobby, it's proper inspection, dipping, and QT of corals entering your tank. Due to the mistakes I've made, I'm planning an independent frag tank system specifically for proper quarantine and treatment of current, and future corals. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1454/...e0897367_o.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1671/...2213fb43_o.jpg HAPPY EASTER!!! |
Is that what I think I saw in the picture? :sad:

...somebody remember that? |
I'm pretty sure that's a fake. To be sure though, I recommend sending it to me for verification. I will even provide a certificate of authenticity after successful verification. There are a lot of fakes of these floating around these days. You can't be too careful.

Whats happening here....anything new going on?

Bubble algae still rampant, and some small spots of cyano and what looks like bryopsis. Added a MP10 from Laurie in hopes of getting some more flow. The biggest problem I'm having is tank accessibility for general maintenance. Definitely learning from some of my mistakes and poor choices. I'll probably NEVER have a 25" tall tank ever again, and I'll never have an unmovable rock structure. I also see the value in a coral quarantine tank, and diligence in a solid dipping routine. I'd say this build thread has come to an end, as I am planning a replacement display tank, plus a frag tank (which the wife recently approved). More details to follow near the end of the summer. I've got a couple of special projects in the meantime which will require your attention. How many days until MACNA? |

Is this thread still active? Seems dusty...

Ok Warren, I did my part. I mounted most the frags/mini colonies (lol) in my tank, and then took/posted photos. Your turn.

This post officially ends this tank. It sits dirty and grimy, waiting for a shutdown. The bubble algae is so completely rampant that it covers every single surface and coralline is growing on it. I have cut a ton of coral and moved it over to the 20 gal in hopes of saving it. Everything gets a major dip in Coral RX and Peroxide, just to be on the safe side. Most of the hardware will make its way to the new tank, along with half the fish and some inverts too. I'd like to thank Rich, Peter, Wayne, Hung, Jess, Ryan, Chris, The 2 Dave's, Greg, Mike, Thomas, Ian, March, Tim T., Laurie, John, and that Jeff guy at J&L for all their help and encouragement along the way! |
Seeing as it's all the rage these days to update your Tank Journal..... I'll just leave these here.

EPISODE II : Attack Of The Aiptasia
It's been three years without a tank and it's time to scratch the itch. So I thought, why not build it myself? Found a local glass fabricator that was willing to work with me. 1/2 inch glass, 3 sides Starphire, all edges polished. 49 x 19 x 16 1/2. Works out to about 60 gallons. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9a79d89a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...28635065_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d611714f_b.jpg Leak test. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...86a31238_b.jpg Held water for over a week with heater and powerhead. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a34432f8_b.jpg Then Rich helped getting it in the house. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9de4412e_b.jpg |
That’s it!!!! I waited too long for this! Gimme more please!

awesome:lol: along for the ride!

Just wanted to cover the overflow box, and keep the piping exposed. It'll all get covered in coralline anyhow. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ff75d3ac_b.jpg |
Awesome! Custom screened top with feeder cut out from?

Little bit of work in the stand.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...783ed72b_b.jpg New techno roller thingy, all the rage these days. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f3c4e729_b.jpg Just as I started making water, I thought I'd update the firmware on the Apex classic. Long story short, I crashed it, opened a ticket, and fixed it over the course of 24 hours. What a nightmare. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c0d530e7_b.jpg |
I like it, especially the plumbing
