First step is admitting it.

Next step is feeding the beast!!!
Speaking of feeding the beast, we made a large purchase from brs this week. Gonna try and go full auto!!
I'll take picks of the boxes when they get here. Going to be lots of hours in the fish room!!

When I had the 20, a lettuce sea slug knocked it out fast for me! I took it back to the LFS once done.

lost another Wrasses :(

Was still in qt with the Tomini and Sailfin and looking fine. When we got him I felt like we were saving him because he didn't look great to start but he has been looking fine and eating well. No signed of any issues on him after I pulled him either. Went to feed them yesterday and he was belly up ;Dead
Other two look fine but cleaned up the tank and did a major water change anyway last night.
Part of the hobby I guess but still hate it.

Salt mixing tank started to mold again :mad: Gonna bleach and clean one last time and if it happens again, time for a new tank. Just cant keep this one sealed well enough to store salt water for long.

grrr.. was going to start working on AWC setup but now have to yank this thing out and clean.
Oh well, time to shut up and get up :p things to do.. Tanks want clean water!

Hey Frank, sorry I didn't log back on till now. Pics would be the same as last time cept not so bad.
I'll take a few today before I hammer it with bleach. Had some issues with my mom come up that I've been stressing about and not getting what i need done down stairs. Today will be the day and of course its COLD (30deg right now) out so gonna be later when it warms up some before I go out and play in the water ;)

All caught up. And now dreaming of setting up a mixing station and workbench like you have in my garage.

very impressed about how thorough you have been along every step of the way.
Wanted to mention, I bought those IBC tanks cause I got them cheap and they are HUGH but dont really recommend anymore. The access hole is only 6" so it makes it extremely hard to clean! I'm looking for a 175gl with at least an 8" access port now.

good to know! When the time comes I’m going to see what the tractor supply down the way has. I’ll definitely be keeping cleaning in mind when I’m selecting them. Thanks friend!

Morning Frank! Hope you had a great weekend! I got 10 or so pages to catch up on in your thread which is gonna take a bit ;)

Been working on getting the mixing station cleaned again. Got tired of trying to run hoses outside so just yanked the whole thing and moved it out.
Scrubbed/rinsed , bleached/rinsed, scrubbed/rinsed, vinegar/rinsed, scrub/rinse/rinse/rinse/rinse... Finally clean!!
Think this time it was sediment and not mold which I guess is better. Was killing myself trying to figure out how to get inside the plumbing to clean. could see brown on the walls of the pipe and just couldn't reach it with the brushes I have.
Light bulb went off last night and I used bb's. Dumped a container of bb's in the pipe and filled with some water. Shook/turned/agitated and rinsed. Worked great, all clean!

Frag tanks doing pretty well but need some more cleanup crew since I robbed most of them for the main tanks.
Got some gha trying to make a come back.
Need to finish the reworked frag rack and get this thing cleaned up. Not sure its a real priority though since they all come out in less than 30 days.
