    Ok, the Hanna Checkers came in yesterday and I used them last night. That has to be the easiest testing I've ever done and the results are digital so I don't have to play the color guessing game. :) Here are some pics. Alk checker. Phos checker. Using them was quick and easy...

    Ok, Frankie has been beating me up for the past several months about spending my money on good quality test kits before I buy any more coral or fish. He even has my wife on his side now and she does not mind repeating that mauntra either, sooooo.... I ordered a Hanna Checker phosphate test kit...

    I got a nice package in the mail yesterday. I ordered a Tyree red watermelon chalice and a key lime mango chalice. Joey also tossed in a zoa frag for me too. :) The frags were boxed up nicely and came with a heater pack. The pics of the frags are just after they went into the tank so they...

    Ok, some up dates. I spent some time last weekend taking the ceiling fan down so I could move it about 2'. It was partially hanging over the tank so I could not really put a nice functional canopy on it. So now that I have room, I am running out of excuses for not starting a canopy. My wife...

    Ok, Mark had me flip the ceramic shaft over and that help. The pump started up right away with some rattling but it went away after a while. Its now producing skimmate again!!! Woo hoo. Thanks Mark. :)

    Thanks Gina. I hope so. I actually have fun draining the collection cup every 3-4 days. I know, I'm sick. :D Once I modded the cup with the tube and valve, dumping skimmate is so much more easy and cleaner. Turn valve open, turn valve off, dump bottle, put tube in bottle, done. :)

    Thanks Krish, Yeah, my temp kept dropping and I kept turning the heater up and the temp dropped some more and I turned the heater up some more..... When I reached in to place a fallen coral the water felt warm to me so I got my handy dandy digital meat thermometer that I use for cooking and...

    I picked up a carbon/GFO reactor and finally got it installed. I don't have any GFO so I went with Marineland carbon that I have on hand. Once I get some GFO, I'll run that instead. MJ 1200 Here is the Korellia Evolution (1400gph). It seams to be doing well. And here are the...
