Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Haha, you can tell my wife and I weren't breathing in the house last night. pH didn't even drop below 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've decided if this tank ever crashes, I'm going to fill it with freshwater sucker fish and allow people to have their feet cleaned in an organic way. Nominal fee of $9.99 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Lessen learned: when you leave town for a vacation lasting longer than two weeks, keep several spare keys available in town and at least one hidden around the house. Otherwise when one spare goes missing and the tank needs attention ASAP, you'll end up losing a window. Luckily I have a trustworthy friend who could break into my house after I gave permission so the tank could be saved. Great excuse to replace with a nice double paned window though! Now I feel like my CO2 levels are just going to get higher with new tighter windows in the house [emoji854] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Look at that precision cut in the glass. The guy must be a criminal mastermind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wonder which is the key word there...criminal or mastermind? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hmm hit the weight room, mastermind.That window should have been hulk smashed. Hope everything is okay with the tank! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm trying to figure out what I'm looking at? Did a small bee hit your window? Surely a man didn't do that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Man, rough crowd! Don't make me go Hulk-Ty on you guys! Window looks good man. Let me know when you need me to throw one of these guys through the next one. [emoji123] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) My urchin decided to grab some frags and also rip off some silicone from the tank.... I sure hope that was just excess silicone from the overflow! SMH Edited June 14, 2016 by Gig 'em 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I planted that on him so you would banish him and I could take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Bad urchin! Bad urchin! Silicone is a first for me. Honestly though, I'm not surprised - That's what you get for leaving Ty alone with your urchins. ... He's like the Saruman with orcs.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I planted that on him so you would banish him and I could take him. If you want the most destructive urchin in the world, you've got some weird preferences. This guy has uprooted frags that have been glued to rocks and knocked them into deep crevices that take forever to rescue. I hear fresh urchin is not a bad meal....

FarmerTy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah, my halloween urchin was plenty destructive. I got rid of him and just keep the blue tuxedo urchins these days. I appreciate a good LOTR reference any day... why do I have to be the bad guy though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Update photos. Excuse the copious amounts of cyano everywhere. Need to start working on clearing it out.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Decided to go ahead and add the calcium reactor and biopellets to a manifold. Originally I wanted to have them on a separate pump so I could turn them off remotely while I'm away on business, but so far this has caused more headaches than anything. The separate pumps just didn't have enough push, kept clogging, and I almost never have to turn them off remotely. So far it has been a great decision. My calcium reactor flow rate seems more stable (although we'll see in the next few weeks if it remains that way) and the biopellets are really tumbling well now.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Refugium is doing well (picture without chaeto) and I added some Miracle Mud today. Not sure if it's beneficial or just a placebo, but we'll see if the micro fauna improves in the tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 pictures of le mud!? what was your final layout for it/how much did you use. Seen tanks/friends willing to sell child for lengs magic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Interested in the mud as well. How's the BK working out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 On an unrelated note, I'm selling FarmerTy's miracle skimmate mud if anybody would like to pick up some? [emoji4] Just joking around folks... I've heard good things about the mud too but never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) I just put the Miracle Mud in a glass bowl. It doesn't all fit in it, but I wanted it in glass and not plastic since glass is inert. The bubble King is doing well, no complaints yet. Super easy to clean out and does a good job skimming.
