ShawnKoto Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Why deny it when you are getting such nice specimens. Nice color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Alright, last update for the night. While away this weekend, my CaRX effluent decided to clog. Still working out the kinks to the new reactor but at least it's holding the alk pretty steady. On that note, when it clogged, my alk dive bombed from 8.2 dKh down to 6.8 dKh in two days. Luckily I caught it before it caused too much issue (I'll give a nod to my Apex for screaming in my ear that something was off). I corrected the low alk over the span of the day and besides some slight alk related STN on two to three frags, by the next day, it had stopped and growth resumed on all the frags again. Crisis averted! The return pump was needing a good overhaul. The vibrations were a little more than I was happy with so I decided to do something about it tonight. How does one fix a loud return pump? Well naturally... go to Bed Bath and Beyond! [emoji15] I picked up one of these that I thought was perfect for the job. 100% silicone and it had trivets that would be perfect for absorbing. vibration. I folded it in half to double up on the silicone for the pump to sit on and then cut two pieces and zip-tied them to the body of the pump to absorb any vibrations if it leaned against anything on the side. Viola, quiet pump... and in some circles, perhaps a little stylish too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 To the untrained eye, you may even miss where I have added new rock. [emoji6] Here's a closer inspection... I'm digging it for now and will be happy when it's not eye-blinding sparkling white anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Fun video of the Jaebo pumps in sync via my Apex and creating a nice smooth wave. Usually the wave isn't this visible since the water is crashing over the overflow but since I was working on the return pump the other day, it gave me the rare chance to capture what it looks like when they are synced up in wave mode. No fun music this time around but I promise I won't ever slack again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 All this craze about repurposing old phones as webcams got me all excited and so I did the same with my old Samsung S3. http://107.207.77.238:8080/browserfs.html username: jeeperty password: corals Just hit the flash button and fullscreen on a regular computer or if you're on a mobile, hit the browser button and the full screen button. Lights are on from 4:30pm - 1:00 am for you night owls like me. I don't know if I'll have it up all the time but it's fun to play with and I know what's going to babysit my tank the next time I'm out of town.

+brian.srock Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I can see the kid part where his legs don't touch the floor when he's sitting in a chair but more like a spoiled rotten kid since Ty won't wait for the lights. He'll just use his phone to turn them on . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Oddly, as my tank is maturing and I am slowly seeing the eye-popping colors coming out of my SPS, the one thing that surprised me most was how much better my anemone coloration has become. It has even started to bubble again! They both started losing color when I moved them to the new tank and stopped bubbling up. Now that my parameters have stabilized and they had some time to recover, they are regaining their old coloration that I loved so much about them and bubbling again. I have rehomed one to Jellyfish and currently enjoy the one lone bubble tip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
