    New shipment at QT Aquariums in International District

    They have a ton of clams there. I am not sure how many are from the last shipment, but there are quite a few there.

    New shipment at QT Aquariums in International District

    I just went down to QT Aquariums and they were acclimating a bunch of new stuff. There were quite a few fish and corals. There were some nice aussie acans, but they were a little spendy. I picked up what looks to be a pokerstar monti for a good price.

    New 120 gallon setup

    I like it because nothing gets trapped underneath the rock. The bottom jets from the closed loop blast everything to the front.

    New 120 gallon setup

    I do have the purple tang, but he is getting pretty aggressive. Anything I try to put in the tank gets attacked. Except for the pipe fish. He let them live. I think it is because they don't look anything like the purple tang. The tang will be going in a different tank when we move in a few...

    New 120 gallon setup

    Here is what the tank looked like before I changed the rock on the right. This picture was taken back in November.

    New 120 gallon setup

    I have changed the tank a bit. I changed to Reeflux 12k bulbs and lumenarc mini reflectors about 3 weeks ago. They focus the light so much better than the spider reflectors. I have also purchased a nice new acrylic sump, but I haven't had time to put it in yet. I also finally got my alk &...

    I have taken a few, but I haven't posted them. I will do an update tonight.

    The writing is on the wall

    It looks like the tank is going to have to go. My boss is going to push back and try to talk them into letting me keep it, but I don't think he will be able to. I will probably know more next week. If all else fails, I am going to sell off the corals & fish and set up the tank as a quarantine...

    So are you becoming the board's general contractor for tank installations? :) That stand looks real nice. I am going to have to talk to you hear pretty soon. We are moving to a new house here in the next few months and we are going to do a 200-300 gallon in wall.

    The writing is on the wall

    That is pretty much what I have to do at home. It kind of sucks because whatever I want for the tank costs me double.

    The writing is on the wall

    Great ideas. I haven't heard anything more yet. I talked to my boss and he said not to worry too much about it. He ok'd it in the first place and said he would go to bat for me if it comes down to it. We'll see what happens over the next few days.

    The writing is on the wall

    There is actually a plug for a second fan on the fan controller circuit board in the hood. The tricky part is getting the right connector. I ended up fabricating one from a different type of connector. There are also screw holes for the second fan already, so they made it easy to add. The...

    We need more photos to look at!

    Here are a few.

    The writing is on the wall

    Well, I think I have had a possible setback with my tank at work. My group is getting ready to move to a new floor in our building next weekend and I needed to make arrangements to come in and move the tank while the movers are moving all of the furniture. Our head of facilities didn't know...

    MH Bulb Question

    I just switched from XM 10k to Reeflux 12k. The XM bulbs were pretty white after they had been on for a few minutes. They started out real yellow. The Reeflux bulbs are very blue. Almost like a 20k. From what I have heard they take a few weeks to break into the normal color. They have...

    Where to snorkel in Hawaii, Mexico, or bahamas

    My wife and I are going to be there at the same time. We leave on the 4th and come home on the 12th. We haven't been to the big island before, but I also purchased the book you are talking about. It is really good. We bought the one for Kauai when we went a couple years ago and it also had...

    Hundreds of Clams at QT Aquarium

    I got the clams in the tank and they are fully open. I don't see any evidence of pinched mantle and there were no pyramid snails on the clams. As a bonus, I found my black clown that dissapeared a few weeks back. He was back in the back chamber of my aquapod. What a bonus. I was convinced...
