I know I bore you all in here with the SPS.

So here is a little different Twist.

This Orange back wrasse is really beautiful. When I have just the VHO's lights on, he looks unreal.

You can't be talking to this SPS freak!

That is a sweet looking fish though.
How is that calcium reactor doing?
I'm shopping again

Sharks The DELTEC is all plumbed but is not dialed yet.

My PH is running around 7.9 to 8.0 and I have one of the valves broken, I have not been able to replace it yet. For the moment I am buffing it. I hope, I really hope to have it dialed by next week:-(

sharks · 01-10-2004, 03:07 AM

Awe man that stinks hope you get it sorted out soon.
More pressing question?
What is that last SPS if you know?
While I love them I stink at Latin

I think I may have a frag of it doing great BTW

Hey Luis! Do you plan on letting your tank catch up with all the bio-load your adding!

Beautiful wrasse! I love the wrasse I have even if it does not match yours in color!

Playa · 01-10-2004, 12:01 PM

Montana, I am getting pretty close to take a break, since I am running out of room:-)

But here are the numbers anyway:-) As of last night. So as you can see the ASM G4 and the live rock are doing a good job.

Salinity 1.025
Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
PH 8.0
Calcium 520
Alkalinity 11.5
Phosphate - Small trace.

VINA DEL MAR · 01-10-2004, 07:18 PM

Hi playa!The numbers for your calcium level looks a little too high(520).I know your Deltec reactor is broken and I"m assuming you are adding calcium by your self.I will suggest to hold off a bit on that.I know it does not snows in Florida but it can happens in your tank.Leave a little room for marging of errors.Your kh corresponds more towards the 430 mark for calcium.Also do some water changes now before your phosphates goes out of hand then you have to deal with troublesome algea.Other than that your tank looks marvelous and you too!Keep the picts coming baby!!Tu amigo Joe.

Finally a half way decent picture of the Red Flame Angel.

Playa · 01-11-2004, 10:00 PM

I guess That spot at the Pink Carnations is a good spot for a Hug.

The Orange has been with me for a couple of years and though a couple of different reefs. The Purple one has been in for about a month and a half.

My wife took this picture today, and also the one with the Angel.

VINA DEL MAR · 01-11-2004, 10:12 PM

Playa your wife is very good with that camera.She should teach us how to take pics as beautifully as she does!VINA

Montanareefer · 01-11-2004, 10:31 PM

Craig Manoukian · 01-11-2004, 10:56 PM
