    making rock wall

    If you need a lot of epoxy, I used the west systems epoxy on mine. I got mine at West Marine in tacoma.

    Finally got a tank. 60g Solana

    Thanks for the compliments everyone! I wish I used a bit more rock. Maybe in 6 months or so, I'll add some more rock. I feel like there's a lot of vertical space that isn't being used. On the other hand, I like it being open so the fish can swim around.

    Finally got a tank. 60g Solana

    The tank is coming along. I think i'm winning the Bryopsis battle using the Kent Tech M Magnesium. I see a lot of white strands now. I got a Randalls goby and a tiger pistol shrimp hoping they'd pair up. Once I released them, they split up. Figures. Hopefully one day they'll find each other and...

    Arrivals 5/24-5/28

    what time do you guys usually get your shipment in? I'd like to stop by and pick up the tiger pistol shrimp and maybe the orange striped watchman goby. Thanks Wing

    Do you have tiger pistol shrimps?

    Sweet! The past few times I was there, I didn't notice any. How much do they cost? Thanks!

    Finally got a tank. 60g Solana

    Thanks, I've already started noticing some of the bryopsis whitening up. I currently have my mg at 1350. Still trying to bring it up with the Kent Tech M. I ended up putting the couple free sps frags I got into the tank. We'll see how they do. I ordered a some two part from BRS, so I can...

    Do you have tiger pistol shrimps?

    I'm looking for a tiger pistol shrimp to pair up with a YWG. Was curious if you guys ever get them in? Thanks

    Finally got a tank. 60g Solana

    I Id'ed the algae as Bryopsis. I'm pretty sure I got it off a frag, as it had a tiny strand of GHA on it. Now that strand has grown out and branched. Since I'm low on Mg. I went over to barrier and got a half gallon jug of Kent Tech M. Magnesium. This is supposed to eradicate Bryopsis when...

    Bringing Ca, Mg, KH levels up?

    I have about 50-60lb of LR in the tank + sump. So about 1Lb/gallon. The DT could use more LR, but I wanted to keep it fairly open for flow. I have the MP40 at 100% right now. I'm surprised I'm not getting any sand storms from it.

    Bringing Ca, Mg, KH levels up?

    Thanks! I'm debating on going two part or kalk. I noticed that BRS has a kalk starter kit that comes with 1 gallon containers of Ca, Alk, Mg, and Kalk. I'm still not sure which way is more effective and potentially less maintenance. It seems like my Alk is being consumed fast. I measured...

    Bringing Ca, Mg, KH levels up?

    NWDiver, what salt are you using? I have about 2 1/2 buckets left to use up. Once I use them up, I'll probably switch salt.

    Here's some more lame pics. Figured I better get some shots to document, before the tank changes too much.

    Finally got a tank. 60g Solana

    Seems like a lot has happened in the past couple days. On monday, everything looked great and normal. On tuesday, I noticed the diatom bloom. On wednesday, I noticed growing on the diatom and on other various rocks. I also noticed that the coralline is starting to take off, it's spreading fast...

    Need some help on picking out a cleanup crew

    Yeah, we'll see how it goes. The tank started forming diatoms on the new sandbed, so we'll see if the snails clean it up

    Finally got a tank. 60g Solana

    been too busy working on the tank to take pics. Diatoms are starting to form on the new sand bed now. We'll see if the snails will eat the diatoms. I've also been trying to get my levels back up to spec. I tested a fresh saltwater mix @ 1.026. I'm using regular Instant Ocean. I got: Cal: 350...

    Bringing Ca, Mg, KH levels up?

    I tested a fresh mix last night, KH: 9.5 Ca: 350 Mg: 1000 It looks like i'll need to raise Mg and Ca a bit with new water changes.
