ORP looks a little off. I suggest you dose 30mV of ORP DOWN and get back to us.

Ya, I used to have a clown trigger in my 131g "FOWLR" that was plumbed into the 150g mixed reef. I shut the "FOWLR" down a few months ago though. Just have the 150g mixed reef now with no triggers :( I do miss tiggers..

He behaved just like any other psychotic trigger :lol:

Possibly in the future when my kids are much older and I have a bit more time on my hands I would like to set up another dedicated FOWLR for fish like the triggers, etc.

I don't have the Mg one (actually don't even know if they have those yet). I do love the alk and calc checkers tho.

Sexy! I got the same holder to my probes, at first I thought the magnet would interfere with the readings but I haven't had any problems yet. Nice buy kien.

Ya, it's kinda funny because when I started this build 3 years ago had planned from the get-go to get something like these holders. I put it on my to-do list, but in a pinch I figured a piece of styrofoam would do the trick. It did do the trick except for some annoyances like, in order to keep them from banging into each other the piece of styrofoam had to be pretty big. Also, whenever the sump water went up (due to return pump off), the whole set of probes would rise also. This wasn't a problem until the sump water went back down but left the probes dangling in the air snagged onto the lip of the sump :lol:

Anyway, fast forward 3 years and I can finally cross that off of my to-do list. yay! :cheer2:

I have to admit, you are right, they are pretty sexy probe holders! I have not noticed any interference due to the magnets either.

Indeed. And their reputation knows no bounds. The Pheasant Balls have graced at least 5 different build threads :surprise:

michika 11-13-2012 05:42 PM

At least... I think they're in minimum two of my builds.

Thanks! One of my joys in reefing (in case you didn't already figure it out) is taking photos of all the cool stuff in the tank. You can easily miss a lot of cool details when you're sitting/standing back and just gazing at your tank as a whole. I love getting in there and up close and personal with everything going on in the tank. It's actually kinda funny 'cuz my fish are somewhat used it now. Whenever I have the camera up close or in the tank the fish are always hovering around trying to photobomb my coral shots.

Christy, I didn't realize that you had gotten out of reefing :cry:

Bblinks 11-20-2012 04:12 PM

nice shots kien. Love to see it in person one dy.

I saw you get rid of that 90 but thought the 180 was still going. It was looking really great what happened? Sorry to hear.

Oh I'm not totally out, I'm just calling this phase the "I have a tank phase". I wouldn't call it a reef anymore, unless its one of those after the hurricane/too much pollution death tanks. I figure if it keeps up the way its going (stuff dying) I'll be at the FOWLR or "I have a tank full of water and algae" phase within a year.

Sorry to crap on your thread. Moar photos! :mrgreen:

Best of luck I guess at least you're still in it. Don't worry about the hijacking I owe him some. If there's anything else you feel like chatting about please stop in again.
