Daniel's Reef Savvy 50g Cube - A Recovering Build...

[Brew12]

Only bc the tank looks REALLY BAD right now... I am pretty sure I know what caused the issue, but when things went downhill, it became a domino effect...it also hit that place where it hurts me to look at it, so that just makes it even worse... ;Eggonface ;Facepalm ;Blackeye At this point, this is gonna be pretty close to starting over for my SPS.

I need to do a few basic things (like FINALLY set up my Cal Rx) before I try to bring it back from it's severe case of uglies. I plan to restock...but not until I can get it fixed.

On the bright side, my fish and LPS all look good...so maybe I'll just take pics of the bottom of the tank for a while.

I feel your pain! I've been focusing so hard on my upgrade that I've let my DT slide. Its not much fun updating a build thread for a makes you cringe when you look at it!

We need 28 hours in a day.....

EXACTLY!!! I vote we add a few more hours!

Thanks guys! It's an unfortunate setback, but I'll pull it together somehow and hopefully get this tank back up to speed. #downbutnotstayingdown

Well to be honest you must not have thought of it for a while...

Let that be a lesson to you, folks...never feed the ;Troll

 

[drernesto]

Sorry to hear that mate! i'm sure the tank will recover soon!

 

[Tioman]

Yeah, but that's how my diamond goby is acting. I honestly thought it was dead because I hadn't seen it in a while. He stays hidden almost all the time. Seeing him twice in a week would be rare, so I'm VERY excited that I've seen him twice in 1 day! LOL

I added a Watchman Gobie and a Pistol Shrimp the middle of June, We saw the Watchman the other night and have not seen the Shrimp since, we know he is there because he keeps digging

maybe it's time you focus on some nice non-corals like LPS, and stop killing endangered sticks. You don't need to race the GBR to failure buddy.

@mdbannister Could you post a pic of your sump setup? I have the same sump but was looking to add space for a refugium somehow.

Hi! Here's how mine is set up (These pics are actually from when I set it up initially. It still looks the same just a bit dirtier. ):

I don't think there's anywhere in it that I would put in a fuge unless you use the skimmer chamber for that somehow. Mine doesn't run a fuge though. I'd be more inclined toward an algae scrubber anyway.

@mdbannister Did your sump change? I thought I had read that you were running the Somatic 60. Maybe I mixed up my build threads...

Ah! Yeah. I've got that on a frag tank that hasn't been completely set up yet. There may be room IMO for a fuge in that one somewhere.

Here's the thread on it. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-frag-system-build.302961/ I need to actually finish it...

Daniel,
If your still thinking about firing up a cal reactor please use @hybridazn 's method.

My GEO two stage has been firing for about two months and could not be happier.

Hope your reef is turning for the better.

That's the plan.

 

[Brew12]

That's the plan.

Wait a minute... whats a plan? Where could I find one and how expensive are they?
