I hate it when members go MIA! Kim, sound off! Knock, knock! Is there anybody on there? Hope all is well.

Frankie · 06-24-2007, 08:24 PM

She will pop up. Shes a mom in action!

Not a easy role she has.

Dentoid · 04-16-2008, 09:14 PM

*COUGH*COUGH*COUGH! I had to brush the dust off this chronicle! Come on Kim, get with it!

Hello Kimmie!

KimPossible · 04-16-2008, 09:55 PM

You guys are great! I've been avoiding checking in here.

Yup, life has been non stop, many trials and tribulations but I have 2 wonderful girls that have kept my mind and body active, not to mention a business to run: but, I must admit, my tank has continued to give me beauty and solace.

I will get some pics up soon and let you in on the success and draw backs of the past year.

I truly do appreciate your thoughts while I was MIA

Whats up Kimmy! Welcome back from your walk about.
Yes, pics when you find your cable. lol

KimPossible · 04-20-2008, 11:19 PM

Here are a couple pics from today. The diamond goby has not settled down, and I still have sand dust over everything. I do daily dusting, but wow, this can't be good. I think I'm gonna catch him and take him back. I'll wait just a bit more.

I took a break from RS after several issues with my tank (and life). I had a temp flex that I couldn't get under control after installing my chiller, after that, I had a infestation of pyramid snails that wiped out all my snails and any snail I put in my tank for about 6 months. I had to manually remove and then leave my tank snail free for another 6 months. Thankfully thats over with. I knew a proper cleaning crew was important to the health of my tank, but I never imagined the value of snails until I could not keep any alive!

Everything has been relatively healthy and now is going strong.

ahhh nice!

Nice looking reef Kim

Welcome back!!

I too had a pyramid snail infestation once. For months every week I was cleaning every snail by hand with a soft cloth to remove the little buggers. That was some serious snail love! LOL~

Keep an eye on your nitrAtes. As the goby stirs up your sand bed (which is not necessarily a bad thing), it is releasing all of the ditritus that has built up and is also oxygenating and killing the anaerobic bacteria that turn nitrAtes into harmless gas. Make sure your skimmer is cleaned and working well so it can remove the floating funk.
Also a temporary prefilter sponge on the return pump (or somewhere along the water flow) would help polish the water. Just be sure to clean it daily until the amount of dirt settles down.

What is the purple and yellow thing in that last pic?

And it's ABOUT TIME you got back here!!!

Hi Doni

~ This got my first reaction. I am running carbon and a filtered HOT Mag for polishing. Cleaning the filter is no joke, I was surprised at the amount of trapped gunk in less than 15 hrs. that I had accumulated. AND....Surprisingly..... my xenia are pouting
