Fudsey's 90 gal build

[Crabs McJones]

Help Fudsey get a Aquatic Illumination 48" hybrid T5 light.....

Click my paypal and send me some of your cash..... ;Woot;Woot;Woot

Heck id throw 20 bucks at that

Oohhhh a beer sounds so good right now. If I wasn't going to the gym Id go get some. Don't want to run on the treadmill drunk! Lol

I gave up the gym a LONG time ago.... Too much pain in my back and I have a physical job which basically takes the place of it.

I really like how this ATI is dim-able and was really easy to setup. Can't imagine how good the Aquatic will be when they implement that.

 

[Fudsey]

Light should be here Monday :-)

In the meantime I got a Frogspawn to compliment my hammer. You can see hammer in the background in the spot I moved him too until my light comes in.

Today's parameters after a 20 gal. water change

pH - 8.2
Salinity - 1.025
NO3 - 10
PO4 - .034
Ca - 450
Mg - 1400
dkH - 10.36

Not sure why the alk is so high today. Hoping the test was off. I need to redo it to make sure.

I found an aiptaisia today after the water change behind one of my Zoa plugs. I moved the plug to another spot and hit the aiptaisia with some Aiptaisia X and it fell down about an inch into the rock work. I put about 5 ml of X onto it and into the hole it dropped into. I hope I got it...

I hope so too, they like to spread like crazy.

Yaaaaaaaaa replacement light is here and installed. But man did my bird's nest take a beating. I don't think it will recover.... Looking extremely bad. Inner branches completely stripped of flesh and are just the white skeleton. only the tips have any flesh/ polyps....

Fudsey,
You may get it back. I smoked my birdsnest when I installed the Kessil's.
Tried to run them at 100% intensity, right out of the gate :eek: :eek: :eek:

 

[Fudsey]

Thanks @GoVols ! ! I know it didn't like the T5s and I turned them way down too...

Just have to wait and see I guess :-)

 

[Fudsey]

Updated FTS

Bird's Nest is looking better now that it's back under LED lights... Strange o_Oo_Oo_O

:-)

Kinda discouraged right now..... lost a fish that I examined last night and looked good... All of my transfer fish don't look good, parameters are ok. I'm thinking I'm about to loose all my fish :(:(

No place to put them to treat for anything and all my Cardinals are 5+ yo and that is what I have been told is their normal life span.

If I loose many it might be time to go fallow and let what ever is in the tank die. Corals look really good but fish are the opposite.;Sorry;Sorry

Fudsey,
It is heartbreaking and pulling for you
