Red_Beard's 75 Tank Build

[steveschuerger]

Looks like UPS literally punted my delivery. Finally came. All bags leaking, birds nest the worst definitely a goner all cold. Box sloshes even emptied of contents. I always thought of UPS being the better of the choices made. Guess that’s a moot point. I mean hers pic of the inside of the box after I took everything out. Not Harlan’s fault. They were properly sealed.

holy freak dude, that is appaling! Did the cyphastraea at least make it? Sorry to hear of all your bad luck with UPS. My biggest beef with them is that i can see the truck go out at 10 am, and sometimes they don't make it to my house until 7pm. Luckily they don't give me the ace ventura treatment though.

I don’t know yet. I was letting them stay in the back AIO area a little extra since they were so cold.

Good plan. When you do add them, make sure to add to a low flow low light area for a day or two too

Me too, classic stuff!

dang straight! If it costs more calories to get it out of a shell than you get from eating it...

I think that is whole idea. I think it is called epicurean dieting.

Here’s my quoted post from my thread about the aftermath. Not as bleak as it seemed. Maybe.

Ok delivery damage news. Acro definitely alive. Both the Cyphastrea I place as Schrodengers corals. Maybe alive, maybe dead. Jury still out on the final verdict

I prefer my menu to be a little more on the hedonistic side.

There isn't much from Mel Brooks that I don't love.

FYI - Spaceballs II is coming next year.

Same here on Mel’s movies. I think it will be tough to follow Spaceballs.

The biggest problem I see for Mel Brooks movies today is except for a mostly older fan base I don’t feel that his brand of in your face humor resonates. Especially with the current generation.

You’re looking at it all wrong. According to the old axiom of “you become what you eat” since it ate vegetables it became a vegetable. Therefore it’s a vegetable or in this case a leafy green.

Not to change the subject away from all of us being vegetarians but, how long has it been since you tested your tank, Zack?

I studied this time, came prepared! I tested alk yesterday. Ive been concerned that removing those 2 large colonies would tank it and i would be over dosing. I found the opposite to be true. Got too many new frags i guess, it was at 6.0 dkH. I dosed 40ml soda ash (i don't know how much that is, didn't use a calculator it just felt like a good number, you know?) Other than that, po4 was around. 25 and no3 was between 5 and 10. That is all I've tested in over a month (parameters, not occasions)
Thank you for asking!
