Luck be a Lady

[LadyMac]

Tracking updated yesterday to show it was out for delivery only to be delayed to today lol.

Hopefully it will be delivered at a decent enough time to actually check it out. Yesterday it was due around 5:30 - 7:30pm.

So since it wasn’t updating I contacted CS. It was extremely difficult to actually get in touch with anyone and, much to my dismay they aren’t delivering til tomorrow. I placed my order in the 3rd. I know this company is in Hong Kong and I absolutely love my Natura. That’s why I bought this light. Keeping the wrong one is cool and all but I literally have no use for it. 20 days to get the right light here is insane.

Sorry for the rant, I’m just really irritated. I try to be understanding and look on the bright side of things. I just want my plants to be ok.

 

[LadyMac]

Finally! I’ve gotta say, DHL in my area is very lacking lol. I’ve seen a LOT of complaints. With that said, finally the light arrived.

I think I need to raise it up, it doesn’t blend at all. This weekend I’ll hunt some screws to mount the arm that’s on the tank, to the wall and use another of the bars as a T and hang from that.

For now I named the tank “Rainbow Bright”

Here’s some pics of the box, the light in the box, and then on the tank. And also what I have the three of them named in the program ;)

Two years ago, guys.

What a long and hard journey. Now look at it. Thanks everyone. Thank you so much for helping me overcome this.

And thank you for helping me start a new chapter in the Luck be a Lady” reef.

I still need a stone Ganon with the mastersword in his head lol. Anyone know how to make one? It’ll look amazing in there.

Breath of The Wild - Master Sword Statue by Feroxxy

My little brother wanted the Breath of the Wild statue as his 3D printed present, so I remixed a couple Things and tadaaa!This model gets as close as possible to the actual statue thats included in the The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild limited edition.Be smart about your supports - the...

They weren’t kidding when they said palythoas can spread swiftly. They ran all the way to the living room and hopped in the 70!

I’m kidding. The small rock that was in the 35 had a couple growing on it (along with the toadstool which I think I now know why it perished…) and I guess they’re doing ok in here. One of the snails I got last week didn’t make it. Everything else seems ok.

My BTA decided it wasn’t happy in the barnacle so it’s moving around the rock that was right there. I hope it finds its spot and stays put.

I’m trying to decide on wavemakers for the 70. I like the two on the 35, they seem to work well. Though they were given to me and I have no idea if I want the same (Amazon off name brand things) or something else. I like the reef waves. Maybe some that’s similar but definitely cheaper lol.

I still need more rock too. Wish I could just happen upon a box like I did the others.

Think one or two of these would be sufficient? It looks very nice!

Yes! I’ve had the 3400 gpa one since I got my Oceanic and it’s still going strong! Got another one last year.

I think the pods are happy! This is in the 35 gallon. They seem to love sitting between the flipper and the glass.

Microfauna is interesting to me lol. I have little wormie dealies in the fresh tanks and these in the reef.

Six years ago yesterday, I moved the reef from a 40 breeder to a marineland 60.

Six years ago today, it was flooded and the clowns and algae Blenny were moved over.

I’m not sure when I added the HOb overflow and the wet dry. Shortly after, somehow the wet dry flooded the stand. I didn’t know if, it it was about this time that fate was sealed on this setup, and that my Waterbox adventure would begin.

Off to browse my Facebook photos for the complete disaster lol.

It's so nice to remember when we started and to see how far we come in the hobby. I think you and @tbrown share tank birthdays.

Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement pump? This things DOA. Tried to soak it in citric acid, no bueno. There seems to be electricity between the connectors, as I can hear it when I plug the power supply into the cord. However there’s not so much as a buzz or a slight vibration to the pump itself :(

Skimmer pump ? return pump ?

talk to their rep here on R2R. They're usually pretty responsive.

Skimmer, sorry!

I have. Unfortunately they aren’t able to send one at this time due to tariffs being unclear. I am not sure when or even if they’ll be able to any time soon.
