[yote]

Just gotta do this 15 more times:

Alright breaks over.I got one leak that I got to fix.Its on the return side in the threads of the adapter.Problem is,You cant hold of damn thang to tighten it.

Have to get a new calendar first.Thats an 07:mrgreen:

Finally got the leak stopped (I think).Seems like every time I got one stopped,I'd create another one.
Still got to scape it,Which I dred.Still got to hook my ATO and PH monitor.Reset the timer for my lights.
But out of all this,I finally caught the flame angel:D.He'll be making a trip to the LFS here in just a little bit,along with some button polyps and zoanthids.
I'll get more pics later,when I get everything done enough to actully relax.

....and the curtains.

Congrats Yote!

 

[cthegame]

Nice Yote...can't wait to see all the progress.

 

[yote]

I aint got nothing to do with the curtains.There all the wifes.
I'll be up-loading pics as soon as the battery charges.

 

[Altohombre]

I like how you threw in the pictures of your rifles. Is that a close reminder for your fish to not get out of line?

 

[yote]

Naw Alto,I got a cattle prod for that:mrgreen:

DONE FOR THE NIGHT.
18 hours worth of breaking down,and setting back up.But that parts done.
Started with just a little drip here.

That one little drip turned into a lot of drips from 4 different lines.Coupled with 3 trips to Ace Hardware to fix what I broke.And learned to NEVER try to climb inside the stand to work.Its hell on an old mans back.
But so far all my corals seem alright.After nearly 8 hours in a cooler with just a small powerhead.

I am pissed about my Bi-color Blenny:

He had a bad habit of retreating inside a rock.Well in the process of scrubbing what was left of the bryopsis off the rock,he decides to come out in the scrub bucket without me noticing.Well to make a long story short,He got thrown out with the dirty water.If it hadnt been for the net that I left in the bucket,I would have never known.
But I picked him up,and put him back in the tank.Needless to say,he didnt survive.
R.I.P Little Bi-color.

Heres the end result:

Care to guess how many pounds of rock was in the 75 gallon tank?
182LBS And the 125 aint even half full.

Looks good Yote. That Tampa Bay Live Rock must be pretty dense stuff.

 

[yote]

Some of it is.But a lot of it is aint.Theres a couple of 20 to 30 pounders and some that looked like more,that was half the weight.

 

[Piggy]

Looking good.

 

[dustin_P74]

yote it looks good, but i think you need more rock and a new light

 

[yote]

yote it looks good, but i think you need more rock and a new light

Already in the works.:D

 

[Altohombre]

Nah this gives the fish more room to swim right?

 

[cthegame]

Yes but he needs more rock for filtration and be able to add more corals & stuff.

 

[bobby]

Sorry about the blenny. I hate losing fish. Just need more rock...a bunch moreLOL Looks great though.

 

[yote]

Oh there'll be a lot more rock added.The trick will be picking the pieces that fit just right.
Might even add another fish.Only got 3 in there right now.I kept the Atlantic Tang,the fairy wrase,and the sailfin blenny.Took the Flame angel to the store.
But my biggest thing,is new lights.I've 2 400 watt halides.But I'm not sure I want that much heat hanging over the tank.Mainly because I dont have room for a chiller.And really dont want canopy.So think I might end up with a fixture with 3 250 watt HQIs.
