February 2013 tank pics

Mr gimmito I will not be able to attend tomorrow, could you hold my copy until the swap as well ? Unless you can sell it for 5x what I paid :bigsmile: Sergio

Well ...I used to have 4 controllable tunzes in my 100 gal tank (two per side opposite of the others ) and overall very happy with the random flow throughout the tank. When it came time to upgrade I decided to go with 2 mp40's instead due to the amount of room the tunzes used on the inside...

Welcome Mr Shaddy Can you tell me a little about the Macro algae in your set up :bigsmile:

payment sent

Well........normally I pay full price and then see the special price :p So I will take one also please ..................have I mentioned "You Guys rock!" Sergio

@ Patchin Correct ....seems like most in sump pumps have a higher ratio of not turning back on and YES ....CORAL REEFER its probably due to lack of maintenance :) However my reeflo is plummed as an external ..... so hopefully it wont be an issue. as a matter of fact , I think I'll do...

@scarbird If memory serves me correct....the pad just had detrious on it , I think it was supposed to turn blue or something if metals were detected . Skimmer seemed unaffected either way if W/C were done in a week or several times a week. I feed both flake (on timed feeder) and frozen in the...

I had been testing with Salifert for Cal , Mag , Nitrates and Lamott for Alk . They varied a little but not too far off from what I had been testing prior.

Aqua-nut I started looking for an easy culprit....chked mag on frag racks , all good. looked at heaters for cracks, nothing. Even ran some polyfilter thing to see if some metal got into system and nothing. I cant say anything new has been added . The only new things I added was the redsea...

Water test at lfs , good idea at least I can get a second opinion . how long can water be transported around before it gets tested. I may be doing an LFS run in a week or so and wonder if I bring along plenty of water to test ....If it would not be a problem carrying it around for 6-7 hours or so ?

@ Gimmito I think I'll try to do the on and off first and cross my fingers that it will come back to life :) @ coral reefer never really tested phosphates with consistancy, if I saw some algae start to show on frag racks , then I would change out media , since I haven't seen any algae...

@ Magnetar68 I had actually ran my system consistantly with Alk around 10 for years and had no issue. for the record I even let the Alk go down to 8 a month or so back because the white tips on the affected sps lead me to believe it was Alk burn .......nothing improved. As far as...

@ rygh I have to double chk the # i wrote down but I recall it being on the low side so maybe your right :) for a while there my cal was upper 400's and mag was 1400+ so I let them come down a bit to see if anything changed but all still the same as far as nothing monti wise seems to...

Sorry bud you lost me on that one.......if I drain more than say 12 gallons from my display .....my level in the sump drops below the reeflo pump return opening causing siphon break. I could remove 10 gals and add 10 then do it over again but wouldn't that defeat putting in 20 gals of new salt...

Yeah ....I just hated thinking about doing bigger water changes because that will require me to actually shut down my main return pump in order to make the change (at 10 gallons it wasn't enough to turn off and just kept it running......hopefully it will turn back on ...you know how that can go...

holy Karp Erin ....thats like 300 gallons for you. I haven't thought too much about trying a larger water change and seeing if that would let me go at least a week between changes

So for the last 4 months or so .....I have had an issue with keeping my montis healthy and some sps tip seem to turn white. A little History on my set up 120 gal display w/40 gal sump and kalkwasser rx , currently dosing 2 part , phos rx , carbon rx , small amount of Cheato in sump ...

Wow.......its the invasion of the letter "P" members Piper Patchin Pinner Patrick Hopefully we can hear from the other members that don't start with "p" :D

That's just nasty.......funny but just nasty :bigsmile:
