Lookin good man. Sorry to hear about the loses. That torch looks real purdy!

Thanks man, that torch is definitely one of my favorites!

Looks good. Those tangs do look small.

Looks Good Nate!

Thanks guys!

Sorry to hear your Naso didn't make it. :-/

How much GFO and carbon are you running in your reactors?

Brandon

I'm definitely bummed about the naso as I don't like losing any fish and I wish I had a bigger tank to QT these big guys. At least I'll have my QT ready for anything else I get and I dont plan on any more big boys. I started with a cup of both GFO and a cup of carbon. BRS recommended almost 3 cups for my system volume on the GFO, but wanted to start slow and it really seems to have helped. I probably will redo the reactor lines with braided thread when I have a chance since the regular line has a slight crimp, but other than that the manifold setup seems to work well. Looking forward to seeing your sump pvc overflow setup so I can see if that will work on mine!

No to old Mila Kunis.

No to old Mila Kunis.

YES to any Mila Kunis, NO to vertical video. Since the re-releases and prequels, George Lucas is a coin flip.

That was an incredible video! If taking vertical videos is so wrong, I don't want to be right. Ok, next update will be full horizontal. I have a friend in town doing some tunes writing but will try and do a better update next week, including my reactor manifold which has been working great!

p.s. Hey Ryan shouldn't you be getting your tux ready instead of spending your time on YouTube haha, you getting excited man?

 

[schooleyosis]

Ready for it to be here Nate. I'm tired of waiting and not being able to add corals to my tank. Lol

Really excited though. TEN days!!!

 

[Volitans67]

Quick monthly update! Everything is coming in nicely. Haven't added much as I'm waiting to make a few big orders and possibly pick up some stuff at the swap.

Just put this BP reactor online and has some great flow!

FTS- hoping to have some more to show next month

Nice tank! One day I would like to have a 180+ gallon tank.

 

[Volitans67]

Nice Nate :)

Thanks Rob, looking forward to catching up at the swap!

Nice tank! One day I would like to have a 180+ gallon tank.

Thanks a lot, this has been a dream tank for a long time. Hope you get to have a 180+ in the near future!

 

[Volitans67]

Quick update!

Picked up a coral beauty, two cardinals, a sleeper goby, orchid dottyback, and some clown gobies that disappeared into the abyss!

Also picked up a small gorgonian frag and an awesome grapefruit size nepthea colony!

Oh yeah and I somehow had luck smiling upon me and won the 75g rimless setup at the swag raffle! Had a great time meeting people and seeing all the great livestock and hearing the presentation on emergency prep by Marc Levenson that will make me perpetually paranoid about my tank leaking haha!
