Chuck's 150 Gallon Reef Project

[mseepman]

Chuck, obviously that change made a huge difference. Though I'm just getting into SPS, I have found that they don't want it to be too turbulent up top. I've had to reduce my flow to slow a decline in the frags I placed there. It seems to have worked for me so far.

[ChuckG]

I'll just have to wait till I start putting the SPS's in and see how they react.

The nice thing here is that if they don't like it, I can easily redirect the outlets.

First Score on something besides frags.





One of my RBTA's is on the move. It squeezed through the rocks to take a peek at my newest acquisition.

[Gecko]

Uh-Oh, looks like you should place something behind the anemone so it doesnt try and sneak through the gap.

[ChuckG]

Both of the RBTA's keep moving around in a big circle on the same rock. I suppose I should catch them while they are on the move and go ahead and sell them (but I like them).

[Gecko]

I would sell one and keep the other; this will at least reduce a possible situation.

[phlounder]

I think it is just waiting until you get some really nice SPS in there and then it will go on a late night walk across the reef, stinging everything in it's path. You are braver than me.

Good to see your progress Chuck. Almost to hit page 100!

[Tangboy]

Aye those newest aquisitions look very nice. What you really need in there is a nice peacock mantis shrimp *grins evily*

I know I know, mantis are pests in reef tanks but I like mine in my little 8g, he doesn't harass anything... yet :P (and no it's not a peacock)

Gratz on 100!

[ChuckG]

Hmmmm - wondering why I have some nuisance algae in my frag tank?



Vial 1: RO/DI
Vial 2: Fresh Salt Mix (ME) - (must admit I made some additions)
Vial 3: Tank Water
Vial 4: Effluent from CA Reactor

Interesting don't ya think?
