Thought 1 is a different foxface? Too big for anthias?

 

[Coral reefer]

Looked again. Not what I thought it was.

tang gang and friends:

let's play a game. name all the fish in the tank 1- 8 for a frag of an og tyree pink lemonade. I will not just take tang or foxface as an answer, needs to be more specific. @Arvin R and @Srt4eric are banned from this game.

Coming back is harder than keeping going

I agree. Keeping it going even at a smaller level worked for me. Been a long time john , glad to hear the family is doing well

 

[jhuynh]

new tank has been placed.

to be continued....

 

[jhuynh]

gonna take awhile so here are some high end torches teasers:

 

[jhuynh]

I decided to join the IM club also.

crate box holding tank came damaged though. Will see once I open it.

 

[boun11]

I hope it is not damage! You have been waiting for that tank for a long time.

 

[jhuynh]

unsure how much cushion is inside. IM already responded to my crate damage delivery. they asked me to open and inspect further.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

I hope you opened and inspected before the driver pulled away!

 

[jhuynh]

tank looks good despite the crate damages.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

I would water test outside before install

 

[Turkeysammich]

Daymn. You may have just won the lottery.

 

[jhuynh]

well. it's been awhile. here's an update of my crash. issues with dastaco carx and weeks of not getting parts delivered. dosing kalk and 2-part wasnt enough to keep up with the consumption i had. kept on having major swings and the sps didn't like it. moved whats left into another reefers tank. letting the tank stabilize itself before going sps dominate again. thousands $$$ of high end sps perished instantly.
