Spent the day draining and cleaning my 210g, moving fish to qt, watching my cin clown draw blood on my hand 3 different times...... Cleaned and drained someone more.

Swapped er rs250 pump (octopus impeller) for a bubble blaster 3000 ..... Let there be bubbles

Tomorrow some new fish arrive..... More cleaning and hopefully a sold 210g

I'm in the same boat as Boon and Chrom, after I got my water issues under control "bad RO filters" growth has absolutely EXPLODED in my tank.  I've seen some of my chalices add over a 1/2" in the last month.  Everything is growing like crazy!!!!  It's nice to finally see the tank finally come together and grow.  I need to do another 60g water change soon.

I met Brian (LazyLivn) today and picked up a fish trap.  Now I am going to catch a Flame Angel.  Once it's trapped I am getting rid of it.  Darn thing decided to pick on one of my trachyphyllias today and now it hasn't opened today.  This flame angel is done!   :angry4:

*cautiously tapping on my head* Things have been good. No hiccups since the ice storm. Got new Kold Ser-il cartridges and DI on order. Very lazily looking around the state for a healthy CBB and a radiant wrasse.... Growth has been amazing and color has returned to most corals (a couple pieces browned up during the move). Decided yesterday to give up on having a decorative algae tank and moved all the cheato down to the 75g below the turf scrubber and it is loving it. With the newly acquired space that used to be the cheato tank I will begin the process of setting up a frag tank. (Any chance anyone has a 36 in tec light 5T with either 4 or 6 slot sitting around?) Other than that, looking forward to cutting up small creatures and gluing them to cement....

Life's good!!!!

I thought about posting something at 3:00 am to see if you were still awake and monitoring fragswapper :).

What kind of new corals?   We, as you know, haven't done anything since Spring.  Tonight, since it was raining, we changed the GFO and Carbon, boiled the nozzle on the return cause it has Aptasia on it, cleaned the skimmer, and took out my dead plants in the sump.  Hard to believe the corals look better than ever with no maintenance on this tank in months.
Would you please come by and put your magic hands in my tank so it will respond just as yours has?

Trying to keep the algae from growing. Have a couple new fish and corals? Yellow Tang, Blue Hepa; and tomorrow I get a pyramid butterfly, a couple dusters and a new conch.
I have a 30g long frag tank just set up last week thats trying to turn brown. Not sure I have rite lights over it. A 2 bulb JBJ compact, A 20g acrylic sump below.
 
I was lucky to get a set of 2 MHs with reflectors and 3 ballast, and a 20"Odessy Moon light, and float mags, and an urchin (didn't make it) all for $50.00.

I am looking for a canopy for my 180g so that I can put up the MH lights over it.

Don't you hate it when you are johnny on the spot, and land the sweet deal.   Then the person just deletes the posting without comment.

Boooooo....that sux.    I wonder if we could get these cheaper if we had 3 or 4 guys that wanted one.   They are so dang expensive otherwise.

Currently acclimating corals I acquired at the swap. Suprisingly, everything was clean! Very nice pieces. Fun begins as soon as I put on a pot of coffee and start placing these in their homes. Mapped out my par levels last week and have a good idea where they will be happy.

I got some unluckly frags with bugs and hitchers everywhere. Looking forward to the next Ohio Reef swap and I'll have many frags of my own at that one. and the one thing I hated the most about this swap was that damn 4-square. I like being limited to the cash on hand but the card made me splurge a couple times today.
