I'll take some more tonight, I added my two blue tort frags late last night but don't think I need both of them. Hopefully I can trade one for some other frag or frags...

pimp2daizzo · 12/12/2005, 08:04 PM

sounds good

calvin415 · 12/12/2005, 08:59 PM

Here's some different shots of the main Tort frag...

And here is a full shot, I couldn't get them all in focus but you can see the frag I'm looking to trade in the back...

calvin415 · 12/13/2005, 10:19 AM

Okay here some more equipment! Got a dosing pump and now my Ca levels should be rock solid! B-Ionic dosed through out the day with 7.5 ml/day minimum. That should be just right to start.

calvin415 · 12/16/2005, 11:02 PM

Alright, got another Pearly Jawfish so now I have a pair, and added 4 more frags... Yellow Mille, Yellow Table Acro, Purple Mille, and a Pink Birdsnest, I can't wait to see them grow out! Still trying to figure out where I want to put them, but they are in the tank for now.

pimp2daizzo · 12/17/2005, 09:01 PM

calvin415 · 12/19/2005, 09:45 PM

I know you've probably already covered it but are you planning on adding only SPS?

Looks like it. It was so funny last night, when I fed them he came out and was eating like a pig. When she came out he just looked at her, opened his mouth and she went back into the hole. I think he told her to make a pie or something! LOL!!! I still can't believe my wife insists on that name! Oh well at least she's into it now.

For now, SPS only. I plan to add my clam back in there (Blue Maxima) and then we'll see what room is left. I'm thinking some rics for rock cover around the bottom, but we'll see what the year brings.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Just an update, I'm planning on a small SPS order (5 frags) in the next week, so we'll see how they look when I get them! As for an update with the dosing pump, this is the best thing I've ever done! Very easy to set up and w/in a week my tank is maintaining Ca levels at 400 and Alk at 10.4 DKH without having to dose kalkwasser or worry about my evap rate. I love it!

KING OF THE REEF · 12/22/2005, 04:53 PM

hey calvin have you seen my tank lately? i posted pics on the thread, my new 20 gallon log. lmk what u think. awsome corals, i can hardly wait till i get my next paycheck,4 monti caps and a few zoos maybe a small brain i odnt know as of yet. great thread and awsome tank hope it does well, and when if you do decide to put in some zoos, hit me up i will have a few frags i can send you way (greens). i already have them, but i like it when they grow out and i just frag em again lol

Thanks bro, yeah I've commented on your tank.

Thanks for the offer on the zoo's, I'm steering away from softies for now, just want to concentrate on my SPS and maybe an LPS or two... Thanks again for the offer.

Thought about it, but not sure what it's going to control... It would just be for monitoring, so I think it would just be a waste. My light is already on a timer, my temp is controlled by the thermostate on the chiller, water flow is done with the squirt, Ca and Alk are on a dosing pump and my ozone has a built in controller. I'm already good to go.
