The 240 is finally starting!!!!!

[balogh03]

Thanks krish! I actually am very happy with it, because with the old reffugium i had the tank flood out on me several occasions because it hardly had any reserve. I have 50ish gallons of reserve now with this one so it would take alot to flood out on me. The only thing that went wrong is that when i changed out sumps (and stirred up the SB moving it) the nitrates went up to 60, but luckily i moved the less hardy corals to the frag tank, a few water changes, and i am now moving things back into it with nitrates just under 5.

Oh and also, when you move things out of a mature reffugium, make sure you where hand protection....A hand full of bristles taught me that:lol:

Augustus,

I like your pic of the pinktail and niger!! Hey i gotta ask you a Q about your pinktail. What do you feed it and how much and how often? Mine eats a ton and still seems to look skinny at the bottom. Like he's starving or something? Yours looks very nice and rounded.

Yes, if something turned bad in there you deffinently wouldnt want to catch him. But then again...it is the perfect sized tank :roll eyes:

Thanks nick Kind of weird that we have the same trigger (scifi noise). To be honest with you, i really dont feed him TOO much. I try to give about a half to full sheet of nori (or 100% green flake) everytime i get home from school. Mostly because as soon as i walk in he starts to swim at the top of a tank like a shark and i know that if he really wanted to, he could eat everything in the tank . Then when i feed all my fish later in the evening, I mix something green in with what ever the meat of the day is (mysris, brine, clam...). I feed him so much green because i figure it is less toxic (to the tank) that way and it is (i hope) more healthy for him. That is pretty much it, besides sometimes on weekends i will give him a morning treat. Hope that answered your question and if i competly missed it, let me know
