Erik's 200g

Lol @ the pic of the tank in the wagon...

Yeah, I have told my wife that I want shgnwgn as my LP. She has yet to comply to these demands. I've told her time and again this is a "deal breaker" if she doesn't get it for me, but she's not budgin'. IDK what I'm gonna do man. I just, don't, know...

You do realize I bought the wagon for her, figuring she'd like the fact it's a Mercedes, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo. She likes her V6 VTEC Accord Coupe too much. In all honesty, I was tryin' to push the car off on her and trying to scheme her car away from her. She found out though, and she now has the upper hand. Our relationship has terrible dynamics all slanted to her side. If she ever reads this, I'm a dead man.

So it looks like the Powder Blue is getting what I call "Dory Syndrome" It's swimming around in circles, back and forth, aimlessly. I turned all of the lights off, and covered the tank. We'll see what happens.

Lol......


Sorry to hear about the PB though.. Hopefully it works out, I had one for awhile and he was a mean sucker....

[ErikH]

I turned off my lights and covered the tank with blankets to keep all of the light out. Just checked on it, and it seems to have calmed down. I may need to do this a few times until it gets used to the tank. Hopefully this one works out!

Looking good Erik, hope the tang pulls through for you.

Looking good Erik, hope the tang pulls through for you.

Everything is looking good so far. Dinos are a freaking menace though, they've partially retreated after almost wiping out my urchin. He lost his spines about a week or 2 ago, but he's looking more active. Been running carbon and O3 to help keep it all ok.

[ErikH]

Woo! So yeah, the dinos are totally gone. It took a couple of good overdoses with kalk until it precipitated all over the place, but I can say I am free and clear.... so far.... As we all know, I probably just jinxed myself. Scraping the glass afterwards was a nightmare! Talk about some stuff that doesn't want to come off!

I pulled my skimmer, and gave it a total cleaning in vinegar. For whatever reason, it's going nuts. I've been making water over the past few days, but now I need to wait since all of our clothes are clean. Need more clothes to wash so I don't waste my waste water.

The PBT is doing wonderful, and has a nice deep color to it.

All of my corals thus far are hanging in there, except for a few that disappeared off my rocks. One was the frag of sweet super bright red zoas I got from Ace, the other are my precious Christmas zoas that I got from Tuan. Oh well, I'll get more later.

Surprisingly, with the 400s on with a wal mart fan, I am able to keep my temps below 82! I did install a fan in that room because otherwise the ambient heat would be unbearable.

More to come soon. My lights are on a longer cycle now that the dinos are out. I really want to get some growth pics!!!

[Mr Cob]
