Rene's 75g Journey

[drstratton]

I have spent a lot of time just enjoying my tank today, but I had to do some work also. I finally installed my BRS Carbon reactor, I've only had it since Christmas. So with thanks to @143MPCo for answering a few questions, it is up and running!

Thank you! It's been slowly coming along and I'm enjoying the process. Thanks again for the help you've given me on several of the projects for my system!

Woo Hoo, I'm so excited!!! I just received shipping confirmation from Vivid Aquariums, my new coral will be here tomorrow. I really like working with this company, they call to see when you would like your order shipped. I could have gotten the coral last Friday, but I had to be gone, so we set Monday as the day to ship, then something came up on my end and I wouldn't be home to receive them until Thursday. They were so accommodating and worked with me to make sure the coral would arrive on my schedule! Thank you James and @Vivid Aquariums!

I went to the Bob Moore frag swap yesterday and made quite a haul! I won 9 coral, a sea swirl circulation pump, 3 packages of Rod's food and a bottle of MeCoral wash off coral dip, in the raffle draws! I came home with a total of 25 new coral! I know that I will need an ID on some of them! It was a great day and my first frag swap!

nice looking frags should look great in your system and if you install the sea swirl let me know what you think about it

Thank you, will be glad when they are out of QT and in my tank! I have no idea how I will install the sea swirl. My tank is drilled, I'll have to figure it out when I get it!

Is that a hamster ball? Great use for it.

Yep, that's what it is! About $6 for the whole setup! It's one of those ideas that needs to be shared! The guy that came up with this calls it the Death Star Chamber!

 

[drstratton]

Wow, I haven't posted an update in quite a while. The growth on my Cespitularia has been pretty amazing, so I wanted to share it! Most of my Zoa's are also growing new polyps and the new Duncan that I have in my frag tank looks like it is growing 2 more heads! Everything is doing really well, except for the Rainbow Yuma Ricordea, it died while in my frag tank, I really don't know why as everything else is doing really well!

Lost the ric? That stinks. They can be a little fickle.

 

[drstratton]

Yeah, I was pretty bummed! I'll try again, when I can find another one!

What is the softie on the lower right? Bluish Green color. Great to hear everything is going well. Sorry about the ric,
