I can probably hook you up with a rock (maybe 2) covered in them if you want.

It's no 380 in wall or anything, but thanks. I appreciate that.

Love your tanks. By the way, how is the new queen doing?

jmccown · 09/06/2007, 06:01 PM

Oh, she's doing great Lee. Thanks for asking. She eats anything that hits the water, lol.

Lee_Bay · 09/06/2007, 06:37 PM

Water params all look good. Trites and Trates are already 0.

Now the fun begins. Added 4 Blue-Green Chromis, 2 Bangai Cardinals from the 38, a mixture of snails and hermits.

Started transferring corals which are already showing polyp extension.

So far so good.

Lee_Bay · 09/06/2007, 06:41 PM

I have some softies from the 38 that are not going to the 75. Anyone interested let me know and we'll work something out. I have the Blue Watermelon Shrooms, some Xenia, and some Kenya Tree. Also some of the rock will not make the trip due to the above mentioned softies.

James11 · 09/07/2007, 05:17 AM

Sounds good Lee_Bay, I sent ya a PM. Good to hear that the transfer is going good. Waiting on some pics

Lee_Bay · 09/07/2007, 05:28 AM

My camera is on loan right now so it'll be a day or two before I get to take more pics.

Oh wait. My daughter has a kodak I could take some pics with this evening. I'll take some and post tonight if I get a chance.

jmccown · 09/07/2007, 06:25 AM

I'd like to add some softies to my big tank. Do you have any FREE stuff, lol?

Lee_Bay · 09/09/2007, 06:06 PM

Man I miss my camera.

Lee_Bay · 09/12/2007, 07:52 PM

Got the camera back.

Here are some full tank shots

Lee_Bay · 09/12/2007, 08:05 PM

I need more rock, but it'll have to wait for a week or two.

Here are some shots of some of my frags. Can't wait for them to grow up.

This isn't as green as the mother colony, I'm hoping the better lighting in the 75 will bring it around.

Still need to mount this orange cap.

Purple Tort. I am surprised the camera doesn't show the colors as vibrant as they are.

Some kind of potato chip thingy.

Yellow scroll

Lee_Bay · 09/12/2007, 08:10 PM

Well that'll probably be all for a while. Got to wait and let the funds regrow (kinda like I fragged my savings account

)

Let me know what you think.

Altpers0na-old · 09/13/2007, 06:26 AM

I saw that. Would love to have some of it, it looks great. But like I said, my savings account is seriously fragged right now. Need to let it regrow a little befor fragging it again.

I put about 20 more snails and 12 blue leg hermits in there last night along with the cuke and the serpent star. I'm hoping they will keep the sandbed clean and sparkling!!

I fixed your typo in the quote for you.

Lee_Bay · 09/14/2007, 09:07 PM

Everything seems to be doing well. I'll get the first water change out of the way tomorrow.

James11 · 09/21/2007, 06:57 AM

any updates

Lee_Bay · 09/21/2007, 01:20 PM

I'm afraid to say things are going good. I'm satisfied. Skimmer is skimming a lot more than I expected it to be. I don't think my bioload is all that high, but maybe it'll settle out a little.

Temperature was getting a little higher than I would like, so I went to wal-mart and bought a clip on fan to blow across the sump. that seemed to help a lot. I'm probably gonna get a temperature controller to turn the fans on or off based on the water temp. (I may build a controller instead of buy... Pretty simple circuit, and I have relays left over from my ATO build.

Got some new frags too. I'll post pics in a day or two.

Thanks for asking.

James11, you've got a PM.

Altpers0na · 09/21/2007, 07:07 PM

be afraid, be very afraid,

o ya, ima break ur thread.
