Tanks chugging along. 9 days into zeo added a couple chalice corals I had sitting around lol. Tanks 12 days old to date. The last time I set up a zeo tank 8 yrs ago I added sps less then 2 weeks in and never really suffered any problems. Its fun to be back dabbling in a system I have confidence in. Plus showing my son the ins and outs. Param's r rock solid and zeo is chugging along. Shaping up early and added some Cuc's yesterday to take care if the little algae we have. It was fun going to the pet store with my son and his cousin yesterday too. He's been with me in the past but this time he was getting to pick stuff out for himself.

Ready for fish. Made the top last night as the stock glass lid was a no go.

Well Brock's new clowns came in this AM. He's going to be excited after school I am sure.

 

[gqjeff]

Captured a good pic of them over lunch. Son has no idea I even ordered them let alone they are in his tank. He's going to be jacked up after school.

How is the coloring on your Wyoming White? Nice Phantom also, how big did they come in?

 

[gqjeff]

They coloring on both is very nice. Of course the phantom will turn jet black with age and time. The WW was a small and a little over and inch and the phantom was a medium and prob 1.5". Both seem very healthy and ate right away. Heck of a deal from silver bow.

Few pics from today. Not bad for a 2.5 weeks old zeo tank

 

[gqjeff]

Snapped a few with the iPhone and the mesoscope. Not to shabby.

Ok been looking around for a nice inferno or sunburst BTA for my sons tank. Found a few but did't feel like spending that much on one when I have a killer one in my cube. So off to surgery we go with razor blade in hand.

After cut

Back in tank in a breeder box.

Couple weeks maybe a little sooner ill bring 1 of them home for him

WOW! What a cool dad! Instead of video games, he's gonna be asking you for frags.

Any update? Tank looks great. Could you share your maintenance/additive practices?

No updates really. Nems are healing up so hoping to place 1 in his little tank in another week to 10 days. Just running the zeo system right now. SO running liths, Start3 and Sponge power is all. I will add some other stuff down the line when we put some sps in the system. Current params are as follows.

dKH 7.5
Ca 400
Mg 1350
No3 0
Po4 .03
temp 78.2-79
Salinity 35 ppt

Thanks all...

 

[revhtree]
