Frankie this is just really frustrating, I am sure! Hang in there!

Frankie · 10-16-2008, 11:49 PM

Thanks for the support everyone. I am not sweating it.

Frankie · 10-24-2008, 05:07 PM

Well the glass people took a while to get back to me but they did. They are replacing the front pane, two tubes of silicone and are giving me a discount on the materials for the overflows.
I will post pictures of the build again when I receive it all.
Other then that, everything is doing great on the reef. I now have control over the cyano issue and the corals are really starting to color up now and grow faster. Soon I will start to target the colors.
I will see about some updated shots of the DT tomorrow.

Thats some really good customer service.

Frankie · 10-24-2008, 07:25 PM

I guess.
Funny how we commend people for doing there jobs when they did not go above and beyond. In today's world we don't expect to get what we paid for and when we do they are hero's for it. They won't be getting any gratitude cards from me. After all, they sold me bad silicone causing me loss of time and double the work~

PEMfish · 10-26-2008, 03:15 PM

Oh, the glass company sold you the silicone too? I see now.

Frankie · 10-27-2008, 01:02 AM

Yes.

I posted these shots for another thread but might as well update my thread also.

I'll see about some close ups tomorrow.

Craig Manoukian · 10-27-2008, 09:05 AM

Glad things worked out Frankie!

Frankie · 10-27-2008, 08:57 PM

Thanks Craig

Here are the promised close ups.

Frankie · 10-27-2008, 08:57 PM

These two were taken with a flash

BigAl07 · 10-27-2008, 08:59 PM

WOW! Great close ups buddy! WOW!!

cheeks69 · 10-27-2008, 10:38 PM

Wow Frankie looks awesome the growth compared to some of the older photos is quite noticeable, I don't think you have room to add anything else...

Frankie · 10-29-2008, 09:35 PM

Thanks guys

There is always room for more corals Robert

The zeovit has really changed my system for the better I am finding. The colors are improving weekly and the growth is amazing as you have observed.
I got the heads up from the glass company today and I will be getting the replacement front pane and pieces for the overflow tomorrow. Pictures will follow of course. Soon after I will be able to get the frag tank up and running and will be doing an over haul on my reef. I am considering building another tank soon after for the clams. I am needing more room for the corals and I always wanted a clam tank.

Frankie · 10-30-2008, 05:25 PM

Good news! I received my glass and the tank build will be on again tonight!
I decided to build it in the spot it is going this time. So I broke down the refugium, put it all in a bucket, mangroves and all and gave it to my neighbor for his 250 he is building. He just bought a beautiful sump/refugium and it was perfect timing for us both.
I have been trying to get him to join our little club here but he is just not into it just yet. I might start taking pictures though and starting a thread for him.
Other then that I am excited to get this frag tank going and being able to get some better control over my corals. Other then my current frags I am going to break the large Monti down big time and make some room. It has taken over and I have had enough of it. If anyone's interested in some really large healthy frags of it send me a pm and i'll hook you up. Make me a fair offer plus shipping.
THat's it folks. I'll get some new shots up soon of the build.

Nice Frankie! Looks Great!

Looks like you're going to beat me to setting up the frag tank, and mines been sitting around here for ... well, a long time!
