[yote]

if you ain't floodin you ain't reefing right yote

True:D

But there is such a critter as goin over-board with it :shock:

I've never had any problems with my bulkheads.But I've always used a thin bead of silicone between them and the glass too.Just a little added insurance.
Good luck with em.

 

[Bifferwine]

Good luck Alexander! God speed and may the schwartz be with you.

Humm. No update. That's really good or really bad.

 

[Alexander]

Update coming soon.

 

[Alexander]

OK so everything is all fixed. order has been restored to my fish tank! and more importantly to my kitchen floor.


It starts by breaking out the hacksaw.

Goodbye Closed loop plumbing

Grab a new bulkhead and plug, clean the glass, add a dash of pvc glue

and here you have it!

pulled my second modded maxi jet out of retirement

removed all the pvc you see here

and voila

And then of course there is the obligatory pull off of a cold kona pipeline porter to reward my hard work.

 

[Alexander]

I also took some shots of the tank to keep you all entertained.


Here is a before and after of my Monti. First picture was taken a year ago and then the new ones were taken yesterday. I am ery happy with the growth over a year.

Here is my brain, Its slowly slowly growing back, the one head that bridges the dead spot in the middle was not there when it got infected. so it moving in the right direction. just need to get rid of the algae to help provide growth space.

and more.

Toadstool about a year and a half/2years ago.

[Alexander]

[ccCapt]

Mean looking hacksaw. :D

Good to see you on the come back.

 

[Alexander]

I dont mess around with that hacksaw. Im so happy my closed loop is gone. now the 24/7 hum of the loud blueline pump has stopped completely! what a relief

 

[RyanG]

Things are looking great man! The Idaho Grape is growing like gangbusters(back to the roaring 20s...again! :mrgreen: )

 

[Alexander]

Well it seems like a lot of people have been getting urchins lately. Thought I would show off some pictures of mine. And throw in a couple other ones while im at it.

 

[d2mini]

That monti is gorgeous.

 

[Hiker4twenty]

Very nice pics Alexander!

 

[RyanG]

Love the top down of the monti and whatever that other coral is...;) Great shots man.

 

[Altohombre]

so how are the urchin's working out for you? Are they better than large turbo snails?

 

[mng777777]
