I'll bet it was...that is the problem when u take on a role in this club..(reef club) you eventually end up reefless cause of the time spent on the club....enjoy....the highs & the lows!!

well, here is the work in progress.

still need to clean the inside glass, run more carbon and do my 150g water change - but the wrecked hand is a slowdown

Looking pretty good from what I am looking at.

[JayM]

Dinos?

so here's the latest beautiful pic from my tank. Just spent 9 days away, came home to a mess o'algae on the glass.....got some off, long snotty tendrils in the corals

before you ask, alk is a little low, working on that.

bulbs are 3 weeks old

RODI is running full speed now. Another 150g on the way.

So happy to see things are going good!! Wish you much continued success

 

[JayM]

ugh, scraping algae on 9 feet of glass is a pain in the glass!

 

[delta]

You don't have a Algae magnet?

 

[JayM]

the one I have isn't designed for glass this thick! It's S_L_O_W going....

RODI is running full speed now. Another 150g on the way.

do 10 gals per day to help the rock purge rather than all in one instant!! (figure u know that....just tryin to help u remember since u have been out so long!)

 

[JayM]

keep in mid all of that rock was sitting cured in my basement system for 2 years before it went into this tank. I have detectable phosphates (ugh), so a 30% water change is going to help, as is some old-school wet skimming!

Yeah but you exposed it to the air for quite a bit, and everything else other than the livestock is brand new. Bacteria field day going on in there.

Did you seed the sand bed?

I can post the process photos of filling the tank up, if you want. Nothing spectacular, but photos none the less

 

[Aquaman_68]

small water changes daily after one big one!!!

cloudy water, and the possibility of flashes off my bald spot ....go for it.

 

[JayM]

ugh. My DI is toast....going to lose a whole 50g bucket because the TDS is too high.

Oh well, new filters and DI tonight, then start over again. I guess the chickens get some extra clean water

OH Jay, I think you should just seriously consider Hiring someone to tend your tank, and you just look at and not touch it.... I have a 40 G Bucket of RODI water do you want some???
