Revised 155 RR BF Reef Tank Thread

[Awibrandy]

Thanks Karman!! I really appreciate the kind words. Hey, how did that cap do?

 

[knugenx]

sorry...the cap didn't make it when my tank went down in July...

Hi Ryan, it has been a heck of a ride these past couple of years! But through it all God has been good to me.

I really didn't think the tank would make it this past summer. Lost a lot of sps, but still have some nice ones that hung in there.

No need to apologize buddy! It was going to die in my tank also.;( We did what we could for it.

Been a while since I updated. This is as of today, Sept. 20, 2011 after much neglect. Trying to get back on track.:bablefish
The net is part of the new bulbs acclimation.

So now that I've got my RO/DI working properly I can do my biweekly w/c until I get rid of all the cyano on the sand & the darn volania out of my overflow teeth. Hopefully the valonia (green bubble algae) will not have spread in to the dt when I had to manually remove them. There was no other way to get them bad boys out, but to pluck them out; and of course a few managed to squirt their darn juice well past the bowl I was using to catch them.
Of course now I have a new drama going on with my setup. My AGA stand is not holding on.arg We all know that bow front stands are not the easiest to make, especially when all you have is table saw, circular saw, jigsaw, drill, hammer, screw drivers, and wrenches. If I had the required tools I would love to take it on. To purchase another AGA stand would be insane, as they are not the best made things out there.
Anyway, I am now trying to find someone to make me a stand without it costing an arm & a leg. If you know someone please let me know.
Here are a few pix of what my animals are looking after a couple of months of trying to do the right thing by them.

She's starting to come out from around the bend nicely. :cheers:
Btw, that Green Nephthea is huge.

 

[Awibrandy]

Thank You Paul! That she is.

Sure was, and you don't even get to see the piece that went down the side of the rock to the sand bed. That's why she had to get trimmed to a more manageable size.LOL I really do not like fragging, but it gave me no choice when it started stinging everything around.

Here is what is left of her now.:biggrin:

Thank you much Tony & Angelo for your kind words!:hug:

Angelo, I will get back to your question at a later day. I am just to exhausted after yesterday's Frag Swap, and getting up early to get our Christmas tree up! Our tree goes up on hubby's B'day ever since we got together 39 years ago. It has become a tradition.
