Wayne's Tank Journal - Current 90 on Page 5
 

Hello all! To clean up my signature I am going to start this tank journal and one day be able to look back at the beggining and smack my forehead saying "what were you thinking"

Some pictures from the beginning:

Then I traded in the Saddlebacks :sad:. They were to aggressive with future livestock for this size of tank.

Feeding time
 

When feeding make sure the Brittle Star gets his share, or he might "take" matters into his own hands...er arms.

Hi Wayne it's always nice to see a new member from Edmonton. Good start to your tank. I've smacked my head more than a couple of times!:lol:

Heres some equipment shots:

Well it was an exciting show when the Brittlestar tried to crawl into my Dusky Jawfish home... The Starfish went in for a few seconds then quivered and backed out :lol: Hasn't made that mistake again!

I just finished with the stand modifications:

I chopped her down a few inces, reinforced it a little more, new 3/4" plywood top, redid the upper and lower trim and finally threw a coat of paint on it. Still have to do new foam for the sump and display this week and drill the sump holes.

Looking good so far. Curious, what is the epson salt for ?

Its a poor mans Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate... My levels were low... When its done I am going to get the proper stuff from one of those bulk supply places :redface:

Here are a few more pictures:

Next things on the list are some more Blue Green Chromis (thinking a small school). Then get the sump redesigned and plumbed so I can get all the equipment out of my display tank :)
