Hi Bluesi 4
I Was Going to The Thread Read must of it an Just Wanted To Let U Know U Done A great Job Keep Up The Good Work.
Everyone Was Great On the Tips Specially KathyC,Great people hear In MR

Thank you!!!
But like you've said, everyone here in MR has helped me and my tank in such a good way, that i would fill pages just thanking them. Kathy has been there since the beginning, she took me under her wing and has basically been the one that has helped me get into this hobby even more, and help me grow at the same time that my tank grew. If it wasn't for her, probably i would be out of the hobby by now, and with a bunch of dead fish.
As well as Kathy, many other people have helped me along the way. Joe (jw10604) has been a great help too, he gave me the tank that now i use to QT the new additions, and he's also helped me when Kathy wasn't available, and just have him 5 mins away is a huge relief.
So i basically just want to say THANK YOU to everyone that helped me, and this tank is my work as well as everyone on this forum!!
Hope you enjoy the pics!!

Added a Lubbock's Wrasse, he is a Male. He was in pretty bad shape when i put him in the tank 2 days ago, wasn't sure if he was going to make it, but last night he started swimming and eating, we'll see how he is doing today. He still has to get his colors back, but hopefully that will happen soon.

 

[BlueSi4]

I'm happy to inform that the Lubbock's Wrasse made it. He is eating well, swimming even better, and he's slowly getting some of his colors back. Will test the water and post more pics tomorrow!!

 

[BlueSi4]

So i tested the water today, and this is what came out:

Kh: 10
Ca: 500ppm
Ph: 8.0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Ammonia: 0

More pictures should be coming either tomorrow or Monday!

 

[KathyC]

Good to hear that the Lubbocks is coming around. Looking forward to more pics!

Did you get a Mg kit yet?

 

[BlueSi4]

[marki24]

nice small frags. Is that t5 lighting that you are using?

 

[BlueSi4]

Yes, it's a T5 fixture

The tanks looks good. Just wait till everything grows out.

 

[BlueSi4]

^^ Thank you! As you can see the Hammer and the Zoas have been doing great since they've been added, the toadstool mushroom is coming along, slower, but coming along.
I just recently bought a Koralia #4 to add some more flow in the tank. My Seio keeps moving down and switching the flow in the tank, which i don't like.

 

[KathyC]

Looking good Oriol!! Did you borrow a different camera?

Your 'possible zoas' are palys..those are the ones that should be handled with gloves on due to toxins...if you ever choose to frag them, please wear gloves & facemask

Did you get the fish guard & concentrator with the new Koralia? LMK if you didn. I have them.

 

[BlueSi4]

I took my sister's camera now that she's in school. I asked her to take some pics for me last night, but she refused, so i wait till she leaves the house and borrow her camera...haha.
Not sure about the fish guard on the Koralia, i bought it on Ebay and it didn't say anything about the fish guard, but i guess we'll see when i get it.

Thanks for the heads up on the palys, i didn't know about that. When i put them in the tank, i did it without gloves, but if i touch them again, i'll make sure to put gloves on!!

 

[BlueSi4]

More pics...haha i love this camera!

 

[KathyC]

Nice pics.
Your corals will get more light & better gas/surface exchange if you take those glass covers off of there...

Order the Mg kit yet? :spin:

 

[BlueSi4]

I'm afraid that if i take the glass cover off, the wrasses will try to do some surfing...that is carpet surfing!

 

[BlueSi4]

5 Nassarius snails have made their way into my tank, and i also picked up an Elos Magnesium Test Kit.

Magnesium = 1200ppm

 

[NDY]

Nice looks Good

 

[BlueSi4]

Koralia #4 should be here tomorrow. Will try to work with the rock and re-arrange everything, we'll see how that goes...

 

[cybermeez]

Replace the glass with egg crate, which you can cut to fit your tank. It will improve the gas exchange and how much light is actually reaching your corals. Your anemone is going to need that light! Home depot sells it by the sheet (4 feet by 3 feet I think) for around $10. You'll have some left over, but it can be used for all kinds of neat DIY projects.

I'm afraid that if i take the glass cover off, the wrasses will try to do some surfing...that is carpet surfing!
