    Been a long time for an update. Here are some photos from tonight. I'm still trying to play with the settings so I can take a picture that actually looks like the tank looks color wise. I've added some more live rock and some new friends. <img...

    Live Rock w/ algea question

    Yeah you're probably right. I wouldn't want to kill the rock so it wasn't live anymore. If I did it in my bath tub so it was easiers, it tap water ok or should I try to fill up the tub with RO/DI to scrub it? I find its easier to see where the algea is when the rock is underwater, out of the...

    Transfered all the fish and coral from the old tank to the new one. Will be posting pics in the next few days or so. I'm looking for a bluespot jaw fish or a midas blenny. Anyone...?

    Diatoms are still growing. I have one snail in there now. You can see the track on the rock where he's cleaned up. I'll be getting a few other sails this weekend an possibly some additional rock. <img src="http://www.jivephotography.com/newreef/041.jpg"> <img...

    Not sure, all my extra fun money that I normally use for the tank is stackin up for my 2 week vacation to Cabo in 12 days. Plus I don't think I'll buy LR from a LFS again, better deals are to be found with reefers. I'm not gonna rush this tank, going very slow and steady so I can do it right...

    My skimmer is a Vertex IN100 and the manual says that for optimum use it should be in 6-8 inches of water in the sump. At first it was sitting at about 10 inches so I needed to raise it. I went to Lowes an got some egg crate stuff from the ceiling tiles area and made up a box that fits...

    Yeah I've read you can or cannot do a water change. Based upon your comment I'll hold off on the wate change since I was doing it just cause in the first place. I add a little bit of ro/di every day to top off though.

    New tank has been setup now for a few weeks. I have one basketball sized liverock in there now with a mushroom on it. I'm beginning to see the rock brown up from the diatom bloom. I'll be doing a 10% water change tonight and testing the levels. Prob will post pics too.

    How to raise skimmer in sump

    My Vertex IN100 skimmer sits in 10 inches of water in my sump. I need to raise it to be in about 6-8 inches based upon the manual. What's the best way to raise it? I've seen some egg crate stuff on here but where can I get one to build a small rectangular box to put under it?
