Hey Al!

It's a Green Nephthea - Really neither the picture of my tank or the one on the NEC site do it any justice!

I should probably get a real photographer to do some photos for the site, I'm sure that would help!

You can hear a pin drop in this thread!

AQTCJAK · 06-06-2008, 09:52 PM

have you see or heard from him scott?

Dentoid · 06-06-2008, 10:23 PM

Nada!

lcstorc · 06-07-2008, 06:10 PM

Come Back Drew.
Where are you?

ScubaDrew · 06-07-2008, 10:12 PM

Hey RS!

I'm around, just really busy. I have a lot of updates and photos to share, next rainy day I will do a big update.

Drew

Dentoid · 06-07-2008, 10:22 PM

Drew, you saw the big RS beam in the sky!

You must have been living it up in the bat mobile

or bat chopper

but you heard our cries!

Don't make us use the bat phone!

ScubaDrew · 06-10-2008, 12:47 PM

haha no bat-anything here, just summer time!

Speaking of summer it has been 90+ here for almost a week. My tank has been running up to 88+ degrees during the day. My corals seem fine with the exception of the duncan which seems to close up in the evening - typically this guy is open all the time.

I've got two fans running on the tank and just cannot keep it down. The room the tank is in is very large and has no windows (only big sliding glass doors) so A/C is not an option.

I did some research and purchased a chiller. OUCH.

It’s a Prime In-line Tower Chiller 1/3 HP. 4150 BTU. Dr Foster has them on sale right now.

In the mean time I’ve turned the MH light off totally. I’ll check the temp again this evening and see if it does better with just the two VHO’s.

Hey Drew-MAN! Good to see you ON the boards!

Hope life has been GOOD to you!!

Allen

lcstorc · 06-10-2008, 12:52 PM

Glad to see you back.
It's raining here. Does that count.

Those are some major temps. Good for you with the chiller. That should help a lot.

ScubaDrew · 06-10-2008, 05:50 PM

Just spent about an hour scrubbing coralline algae off my glass. It is REALLY tough with a bow front since the scrapers only work in a horizontal direction.

Anyone with a bow front have some tricks to keeping the curved glass clean or an easier way to get the coraline off? 45 min every other week is a huge time commitment for just that one aspect of the tank!

Al - Life is good buddy! Expect to see more of me, I'm getting caught up on all the chronicles I follow - and you are on the list my friend!

Lynn - Hey! I'm excited to get caught back up with everyone. The chiller was a major decision and investment. I hope it lasts at least a few years. Summers are short here, so I'll clean it well and pack it away during the fall, winter, spring.

Go sideways!

Can you screw a credit card to a mag float and go left to right?

I'm praying for rain right now.

PLUS it will help with your temps. But mainly for the pics.

ScubaDrew · 06-10-2008, 09:25 PM

Well I don't know what rain dance you were doing but wow did it work!

Vermont had TORNADO and sever thunderstorm warnings today/tonight.

The worst is over now and the temps have come down from mid 90's to high 70s now.

The sad part is no photos because my lights have been off all day to keep the temp down and all my corals are closed up or looking dull.

So... Thanks for the cool weather! I'll get some photos once the sun on the tank is back out.
