my new baby... AKA The Café

[NowGlazeIT]

Simon asked me to tell y'all he won't be back for a month.

Is his tank still wet?

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Got some productivity did.

Frag tank is now the only drop on the manifold running. Rather than run that tank independently, I figured out I could just turn everything else off, and keep filtration going via sump.

Hit the LFS this afternoon, made a few adjustments to placements and flow. Owner told me "this is your tank while your gear is in it. Do whatever you want" Soooo I dumped two cups of wet skimmate from my home skimmer in there and added a full jar of Tigger and a full jar of tisbe pods. Installed my Reefwave 45 giving really good pulsing flow all around.

There is room in the sump for 10-15 lbs of LR and I'll bring that over later.

I honestly expected all of the acro to be RTN's and the brains to be a ball of goo. No such thing happened.

Moral of the story, even if you hate people, (yous know who I'm talking to) being nice, and kind and talkative. You may REALLY need that person's help some day.

Awesome update

Yes. The system has been up for a few months, but has never had anything in it other than two chromis. It was more of a cool infinity edge Display, than an operating tank.

There are a few of my Live Rocks in there with THINGS on them, but it was Way too sterile compared to what I run for me to get confident.

My coral are used to 25-35 no3 and .1 po4.

I tested the system at 2 nitrates and .01 phos.

The system is ~55 gallons. It was Wet skimmate. Not chunky gooey stuff.

True talk. I'm the king of faking it. I hate peopling as a general rule, but 20+ years in service industry & retail mgmt have my "friendly" skills

I'm "friendly" as can be when I'm dealing with people at work (either myself or them). Yes, you never know when you'll need someone's help. But also, rule #1 - don't be a d. Especially to people just doing their job.

I just refuse to fake it with random t-waffles whilst I walk my dog so he can poop on the nearest spiky bush. (Context ref recent discussion). BECAUSE IT'S 7AM LEAVE ME ALONE. I can assure you I'll never need the park welcome committee help.

That's a risk

@Eagle_Steve @fishguy242 lfs recommended only 1 wrasse per tank. Fairy wrasse .

considering you all have multiple how does that work.

i have a 180 with plenty of hiding area.

 

[fishguy242]

your lfs usually has best advice... "sarcasm"
do your research on compatibility...

... I don't hate people. I love humans. When I said it hurts talking to people, I really mean physical pain. It's all driven by mental means. It feels like electric shock. There's no medication that works.

Hate leads to destruction. I've had enough of both in my life. I'm sick of it.

I know there was issues. But this is good news!

You mean yellow coris right? If so, never heard of amy complaints. Pretty peaceful fish. I do believe it needs a sand bed. I think we spoke about that before?
