So i finally bought a camera, YA. sadly my tank ran into some problems since my previous update with pictures. my skimmer air line plugged and i thought it was working when it wasn't and sure enough, stn'ing came to bit me in the ass. my green tabling acro stn'ed all over but i was able to salvage 3 frags and my purple slimmer has been experiencing stn'ing as well. Now i have hit a horriable bump and the LPS addiction has hit and i am debating about selling most to all of my sps and creating a low flow LPS/zoa tank. So here are a few pictures with the new camera, still trying to get used to it








and just cause i love the picture, from horseshoe canyon today

so quick update on this one... turns out i am in a battle with Dinoflagellates, which explains why my snails have been dying. crap. thought it was diatom's for a bit till it started looking snotty.

got lazy in the past 3 weeks with going back to school.

Mg 1080
Ca 360
Alk 8
salinity 1.021

buying new bulbs (after i have the fixture off for 2days) starting bi-weekly 5 gal water changes again, getting the phos-ban running again (maxi-jet died somehow...), might run an internal filter to see if that helps with the situation

well gotta love being a poor ass student, well sobey's has hungry man's for sale for $3 each right now

$3? How could you do that to your tank?!

Bulk KD at Costco or cheap noodles at T&T!

Sorry to hear about the minor issues...the last pic you posted looks fantastic.

When I was in university I lived off of ramen noodles at 50cent a pack. They are good for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Man your salinity looks low. Do you always run it at 1.021? Or is that due to evaporation without topoff? Just curious.

lol ya i ate kd as a diet when i was first in college 4 years ago and now its a once in a while thing. plus my microwave died on me about a month ago. i miss working.

the tank was doing great and than i cleaned off all the glass of the coraline algae, stopped dosing nitrate destroyer (which i believe is the cause) and this hit me. its on some of my skirts of my zoa's but i am sure once i turn my lights back on for friday i should be ok. i guess this is what happens when you neglect it for a couple of weeks so i am not over ****ed about it.

figured out my maxijet was just plugged. just cleaned it and KZ carbon is now running. and a water change is waiting to be done tommorrow when i get home.

here is my new bulb configuration for this round of bulbs

Aqua Science 22,000k
