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. :face-with-rolling-eyes:

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.
