My comment was about the fact that a Goni was kept alive for 6 years in an aquarium. That is truly impressive and amazing!

framerguy · 04-12-2008, 09:06 PM

There was no confusion. I understood you have had it for a year. It's still amazing! Did John have it before you? You have a leg up on us with a friend like that for sure!

Yeah, get the mag up, then mess with the reactor.

Nah, when John broke down his tank, one person got ALL his goni's.. and it wasn't me

. This one came from another club member that had to tear his tank down due to a move, and didn't know when he would set up another tank. If I remember right, it was in a 40 breeder tank.

ok, here are a couple pics I just snapped of the clarity from running the carbon filter I made... My halides are off for the night, so the light you see is one 54w actinic, and one 54w 6500k.. (still waiting on another replacement actinic... they are both T-5's... Not the best pics,.. but you can see the difference.heres the pics:

Before: 10/29/2007

Triggerjay · 04-13-2008, 11:19 PM

Nice, cant wait to get mine going. i like the 2 island scaping

Triggerjay · 04-14-2008, 10:44 AM

Thanks guys. I am doing a 55g WC today as well. It should perk things up just a little more. And GOOD NEWS! No signs of the Dyno anymore either. I am hoping I do not have any bleaching happen from the clear water. I have my fingers crossed.

You could try some layers of window screen if you are worried about it. It is a concern after all.

Way awesome pics! And I like to two island setup too. My Xenias do the same thing, I've got so much flow they are like.."WHEEEEEEEEEE!!"

Hey Jason, i never seen the post of when you switch the coast to coast, when was that done?

Triggerjay · 04-20-2008, 02:33 AM

Now all you need to do it build a cap and remote collection unit for that skimmer of yours!

Triggerjay · 04-22-2008, 11:47 PM

lol... I thought about it,... but once in a great while it will go nuts, and overflow... I would hate to see it empty my sump... the way it is, it just overflows into the sump... It's....... well,... lets say..... Sensitive.... lol... Where is BigAl when you need him... ....... Hey Al,... Iv'e got a secret! LOL

Jason

Frankie · 04-23-2008, 08:14 AM

You could add an overflow switch to turn the pump off. I will be doing that with my remote container for the big skimmer i just built.
