It's pushing a ton of water still just isn't bubbling like normal. An ideas?

 

[Reefing Madness]

Could very well be the chems your using.
Might be salt creep in the air tube also.

 

[heathd.hd]

Definitely the chems. Left for work with nothing 9 hrs later I got this. Good little skimmer lol!

I have also noticed with the ich x my snails have been buried in the sand since the first dose. So idk if there alive or dead buried. I'll start searching Sunday when I do my wc.

 

[Reefing Madness]

Right on!!:bigsmile:

I'm definitely thinking even if my fish recover I'm gonna end up doing a copper treatment and fallow period in my tank when I can afford and have the time to get a qt tank all setup.

 

[heathd.hd]

So I'm definitely thinking maxspect riptide! Instead on jaebo's. Can wait! I'll have to email on what would be the best size for this odd size tank.

 

[Reefing Madness]

WOW. Now that would be very cool!!

 

[heathd.hd]

I'm really thinking this style of pump would really solve my water movement issues. I just don't think I can cover the tank height with 2 wave makers. So.... 3? Yah I'm into 300 bucks atleast even with jaebo's. Really hoping these riptide ' s are actually in a normal price range.

So project qt biocube starts today I'm going to build a stand for it. 2x4 stand with a concrete top. Going to paint 2x4s white and stain concrete dark. Than add some shaded acrylic removable inserts for panels on stand. This stand is gonna hold my ato tank. I will need to build that yet also.

 

[heathd.hd]

Well built concrete is drying!

 

[heathd.hd]

Pulled some of the forms off. Wife seen concrete contertop on pintrest. She's not the person that has 2 polish this thing! Ugh. Looks good so far though.

 

[Reefing Madness]

Now that is one heavy stand. WOW. Looks cool!

 

[heathd.hd]

Top is 1 1\2" thick but I made the edges 3 to show some more crete

 

[prsnlty]

Looks great!

 

[heathd.hd]

Somebody got his big boy light! Reef radiance lumentek-pro 240. Such a difference from the junk I was using!

 

[heathd.hd]

Starting to look like a real tank. Next step coming soon. 100 lbs of rock hopefully this weekend.

 

[heathd.hd]

Quarantine \ acclimation tank is running. Need to get the Lego build going for decorations but it's wet and light is retro fit into it.

 

[heathd.hd]

I almost feel confident in being a real aquarist! Lol.

 

[heathd.hd]

Yah. I know a bit over board with the light and wp 10. oh well.
