Thanks to AJ_77

Thanks to Alan and his family for their hospitality for hosting this month's meeting and frag swap!

I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

Looking forward to next month's meeting now!

PS. I'm curious Alan, of what significance is the "77"? :D

[AJ_77]

You are very welcome, Tony. What a big day in the life of my young system. (Hey, there's something IN there!!) Thanks to all who came, esp. those who came with gifts! :D

Looking forward to more merriment next month, for sure.

The "77" is distinguishing - there seems to be a lot of AJ's out there. For example, the whimsical ~@*=?AJ?=*@~ dude at aqpros or wherever.

BTW, those frags look Very Cool under the actinics - purple and flooressent green. Very niiiice, thanks again guys!

Thanks to Alan and his wife, Margaret, for hosting the meeting. Margaret has officially dubbed us as the “Fish Nerds.”

Thanks to Tony who made it seem like Christmas with all of the frags that he brought. They look terrific in my tank.

I still think Alan needs to build a tiny cruise ship with flashing LEDs to really simulate an ocean scene.

And I will throw a third thanks in to the mix just for good luck.
Thanks To All!
Another wonderful meeting, sure would have loved to see some new faces in the mix but was good either way.
:cool:

Sounds better. ;)

Jon:

Further to last night, you might want to put aside 2 dozen or more of those pieces of rubble.

Just a thought - if they're that useful, and Tony's xenia won't cool it a bit, growthwise. ;)

Cheers!

[Canadian Man]

no prob.
Tony took a handful of them last night.
I will put them all in my refugium and if any one needs pieces just let me know.
Man i added that sand last night and now my tank's look like milk!!! very disheartning and my yellow tang didnt look too healthy this morning.
oh well wait and see.

Jon, I don't know if you should run that sand through/with your main system. It's going to cycle; I thought you'd have it separate - in the sump - before letting it "join" the main tank water.

Guess I didn't give it much thought last night. I put mine all together, but the two cycled together and settled out together.

You might consider "quarantining" the sump tank for awhile.

Tanks but da tank is all done now and dey are joined together and dey be going all day, while i'm ad work. ;)

Hopefully all my rock and sand in the main tank will take care of it.
I added the sand last night in the refugium and didnt cycle water through it just let it settle.
It was this morning that I started the flow through the refugium. And slowly watched my tank turn to milk! Yea

I imagine the sand will settle out in a few days... Maybe in the meantime run some polyfilter (filter floss) if your fish are looking a little distressed. Good luck!
