Thanks Michelle and Craig. After having talked to many people and done some reading on the subject, I will most certainly take your advice.

Cheers!

How is that skimmer working now Rougiem?

Rougiem · 06-30-2005, 10:53 AM

Woody:

It is working better, but it will be much better when I make the modifications to it. That may not take place until next week, scince our custodians are working in that area. I will let you know!

Cheers!

Thanks for explaining it a bit better. That's exactly what I was trying to get at in a rambling roundabout fashion. Next time I'll need to take a bit more time on an explaination.

Thank you TDEVIL...We are getting there.

Where are your lights?

Rougiem · 07-05-2005, 10:52 AM

Craig:

Thanks for asking. I am waiting for the bulbs. Doing a follow up on it today. Will keep you posted!

Rougiem · 07-05-2005, 02:37 PM

More and More of the weekly updates!

Still waiting on our light set-up. I hope it comes in this week. I am also going to purchase the materials to modify our skimmer. THANKS AGAIN DAVE!

Just three more closeup pictures of our new rockwork. We are getting some purple to red coloring on the rock which I have not seen so dynamic before. Red Cyano? I presume and something we should be seeing if I am not mistaken. Left, middle, and right side rock pics!

Left Side - At the arrow I have moved a peice of Craig's palys to this new spot. They had broken off the original rockwork, so gave them a new home.

Craig Manoukian · 07-05-2005, 08:44 PM

Looks great

Rougiem · 07-09-2005, 12:00 PM

Well things are still rolling along....

New MH lights are in! (2 x 250 watts). Me and Kmoney will be putting them in next week along with working on our temperature problem(installing some fans), and skimmer modifications.

I want to make a big thank you to Woodstock for generously donating us a whole nice mix of bright green mushroom, green moon polyps, dark orange zoas, green encrusting briarium mat, elongata xenia, chaetomorpha algae, halimeda algae, pink zoas and yellow/green polyps.

Thanks again Woody you are the best!

I am keeping them in my home tank until I address some of the above issues.

I also want to thank Justin from our LFS who graciously took some time to look at our tank yesterday. He also donated a peppermint shrimp, moon polyps, and 2 other items that have slipped my mind, but I will post that for you next week.

Yo Ho!
