ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

Ok, I used the absolute last drop of alkalinity reagent today so another bottle is ordered.

Once I get the gift cards and order a Minnow (it's been decided) then I will get some hydrochloric acid and mix up some 0.1 N and test against the Hanna. If everything is good, we're off and running!

I just started gfo as I had everything besides a pump sitting around. How do you control your phosphate levels?

I'm going to try elimi np.

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

I'm going to try elimi np.

Once i get finished setting up a new powerhead/adjusting my whole flow situation i gotta test and see if 24 hours got my phosphate down. It was above my hannan ulr phosphateblast time..

 

[tbrown]

I'd say these 3 are healing up nicely...

Time to frag some more tomorrow?

Boy, you can't even take a nap around here without missing something. Good choice on the Minnow.

 

[JoJosReef]

Good call on the Minnow. Expand out that Hydros collective. If you need more dosing heads, just win another Minnow!

Well now I have decisions:

TSA is for livestock only.

I'm definitely thinking the WaveEngine and Gyre2K with one.

The second - do I go with the Minnow and worry about an X2 and ATO stuff later? I have a functioning ATO already so I don't necessarily need the X2 right now.

I'm thinking Minnow and WaveEngine/Gyre2K.

TSA though now...

Acros? Frogs/Hammers? Shrooms? Zoas?

They also have inverts and fish! Fish probably not that great for you since you have good local shops.

Yeah. I have a shopping cart full. We'll see if it changes.

Fun cuc??

 

[tbrown]

Fun cuc??

I wonder... Can I combine CUC and corals? I'ma check that out. Great idea!

 

[tbrown]

Hmmm... Trade out the Perrywinkle Monti for a Tiger Tail Cucumber???

And another $800 gone from the bank account... 4 new tires for the Envoy - left rear started feeling a little wobbly so I took a closer look and we've got cord separation. All 4 are starting to look kinda cracked and the tread is around 6/32 so it's time I suppose. 7 years old so not bad, especially for Arizona. Just sucks it hits now.

Next on the list - water pump for the Envoy and battery for the Yukon.

It's just money, right? Can't take it when we die anyway. I'm glad this stuff is getting taken care of now instead of in another 6 months or so when it becomes my daughter's car I suppose.

I'd trade the garf out. There's lots of that around, you should be able to find some for under $40 (or even free). Mine unfortunately died and I still haven't figured out shipping.

That said, definitely one of my favorite SPS...

I've seen Garf at CFM a couple of times but it's like $35 there. I was kidding about the Tiger Tail though but no can definitely swap the Garf for something else. Maybe a Zoa of some variety.

 

[tbrown]

Maybe I'll drop the Garf and add a Glow Pop Zoa and a Sweetheart Styloconiella.

So the second box coming from UPS should have a Lee's Hang-on Tank Container and some mesh bags fo carbon but UPS says it's 60 pounds... I think someone put some bad info in or I'm getting the wrong box...

 

[Mschmidt]

that should be enough carbon.

 

[tbrown]

that should be enough carbon.

But they're not supposed to be sending carbon, just the mesh bags for carbon.

Seems like listening isn't their strong suit.
