120 Reboot

[pdiehm]

The anemone, and the clowns are doing really well. That's about the end of my good news from what I started.

Tried zeovit with SPS, but didn't work out all that well for me. Rebooting the tank and going into the softie/LPS world. We'll see if I am as masterful at killing them as I was SPS.

My light is still a problem, no idea how to dial that in but according to reefbreeders, 60/51 is the setting I should be using for a mixed reef...I'm guessing...I may use the soft corals settings.

So far I have 2 branching sinularia's. One looks to be doing OK. the other not so much. My Neon Green Aussie Toadstool hasn't had any polyps out for about 4 days now.

Frustrating is an understatement. dang frustrating is the operative word.

Sorry to hear about the problems... hope the reboot goes well for you! Hang in there.

More tank details.

75 lbs of Pukani Rock, running a beananimal overflow with a homemade coast to coast overflox box internally. a pair of Maxspect gyre's with icecap controllers on each end (since shut off and running on 20% pulse mode). Since the icecap won't go lower than 20%, I had to remove the icecap controller.

As for the bain of my existance, the lights, if I find a 6x54 or 6x80W ATI unit for less than $350, I will switch to T5's. I think where I am at this point in the hobby, on/off is better for me than variations.

As mentioned, I am frustrated, and almost to the point where I just want to say F it, and do a FOWLR tank.

I just found out today that the pump I use for water changes was putting electric current into the tank. Every week for 2 years.

Every day I learn something.
