  6. Finally got some free time from work and everything to update on my Solana...So last week the Vortech finally arrived. This thing is awesome! I took out my two Koralia 1 and installed the wavemaker. and things start to really move in there. At the beginning nothing in the tank like it,especially the mushroom and xenia. I ran it with out the cover but decide that it would be best to put the cover on to reduce some of the action. There was some micro bubble the first few days but it is running smoothly now, very quite:-) I noticed that the chiller is coming on a lot more than often the power comsumption is ranging from 9-30w. My favorite mode is the short pulse. Havent been able to tweak it to create a constant wave like that of a tunze wavebox. All the SPS is really enjoying it. I am starting to see more polyps extensions and faster growth. Since everything is starting to mature in the tank (plus just got my bonus) I decide to go shopping. Bought 3 ORA frags(red planet, pearl berry, and tri-color valida) from Jake @ RCA and a maxima clam a few day ago. The frogspawn started to get too big and is releasing it tentacles and poison whatever it lands on. I moved it to my 75g to make room for all the new additions. My pair of true perc is not so happy with me right now. Enough said here are a few pics that i took a few day ago before i added the new pieces and the rearrangements. Will take some pics tomorrow...be on the look out! thanks

  8. wow euro-reef does have nano skimmer...not sure if they have one made especially for solana. Will have to upgrade for that when it does come out www.nanoreefsystems.com/index.asp
  9. my stock skimmer on the Solana is actually working really well, alot better than the horror stories that i have read from other people. I got lucky i guess...it does need some adjustment with the o-ring to make it work right. I still have my sapphire from my Aquapod 24 that I plan to put in if the stock skimmer fails. Sapphire did really well on my Aquapod had some micro bubble problem at the beginning (most skimmer does anyway) but it broke in after 2 weeks and worked great. Since it's working fine i will just keep things as is:-)I wish EuroReef have a nano version. The RS-80 work wonder on my 75.
  10. I just put in an order for Vortech mp40v. Cant wait to see some wave action! Cindy, when the time is ready to frag that acan you will be the first to be contacted. Hunter is really nice and honest. I bought that piece there hope he will frag smaller pieces that he go there

  12. Haven't update for awhile...a few goods and bad news. Bad news: Was busy two weeks ago with work and volunteering. Did not have much time to care for the tank. My water was out of balance...calcium was too high and Alk and Mag, was too low. Lost a teardrop clam and an acro. Did a quick water change and start to does Mag and 3:1 Alk/ Ca. Current measure Alk 8 and CA 380. Need to start dosing B-Ionic daily now. Lost my cardinal, neon and unknow goby. Royal gramma is getting aggressive Good news: Things are starting to grow fairly well. Australian Acan added 3 heads to colony, krytonite candy cane double with 4 heads now. Both pink birdnest colony starting to spread and dominate the tank. Starting to have problem with coral being to close to each other, might have to start trimming this week. Additions/changes: 1) took out my nano Koralia and added Kor1. There are two kor1 in tank right now 2) 4 frags: ORA green birdnest, more acros, chalice 3) Rearrange stuff around check out photo later 4) fish: sixline wrasse(one of my fav) and a tiger goby Things to do in coming weeks: 1) switch out stock skimmer and add in my old sapphire from Aquapod24 2) thinking about taking out my 2 koralia1 and add in a Vortech mp40w(would be use for my future big 150gal+ thank) or a Tunze nano wavebox. I really like to look at the wave action! Any advices ??? 3) Really need to get a ATO. Any suggestion? 4) move out most of the softies and lps to my 75gal tank. really love that brain and frowspawn...but they just take up lots of space:-( Maybe just focus on SPS. 5) Clean equipments: pumps, chiller, lights, stand. 6) Transfer royal gramma to my 75g, he is getting very aggressive toward his tankmates

  17. he is a really active guy. His tankmate, blue linkia, gets along really well. They like to roam and hangout when the MH goes off. Cindy I really like your orange linkia. Was thinking of getting one but i think two is enough in my small tank:-)
