jolt Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Subject: TPS Report for 2/4/2017 Accomplishments for this day: Received a square tail bristletooth tang, an ORA Joe the Coral, and an ORA plum Crazy from Divers Den. Tang is in QT, frags were dipped in Bayer and Flatworm Exit and are now in the frag tank. Received 3 bumblebee snails, 6 banded trochus snails, and 6 mexican cerith snails from Live Aquaria. They were acclimated and put in the frag tank. Moved 3 Bartlett's Anthias from QT into frag tank. Began draining the display tank for the move into final position tomorrow Finished the extended wiring for the radions, and did the spackling touchup for the minor repairs needed after hanging the lights Tested the supply line from the saltwater mixing station to the DT. All is well. Secured all behind cabinet wiring and tubing in prep for final positioning Plans for upcoming 24 hour period: Take pink streak wrasse pair off prazipro and begin raising their QT to final salinity Get the bristletooth to eat, he's super stressed right now Finish draining DT in prep for final positioning Make more SW WC and regular maintenance on 32 gallon tank and frag tank Cook 4 racks of ribs Watch super bowl Respectfully filed for management approval, Jolt Attachment: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 WOW...that sounds more like a weeks worth of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well, Jimbo, usually when I make an update it's kind of a 'tip of the iceburg' report, but I guess some folks wanted more details This was actually a pretty typical weekend over the last couple of months. When I started the 180, I did not account for how much work it would be to maintain a tank, bring one up, and build one all at the same time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Tank is in final position and lights are all set! (pay no attention to the fancy plumb lines on the light bar ..., they were used to square up the tank to the lights) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BobcatReefer Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 That's what I'm talkin' bout Jolt!!! Question: How the heck did you move it into final position? We had Reburn and several young bucks and it was dang near impossible to budge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Reburn and several young bucks and it was dang near impossible to budge. I've had it long enough that I now understand how to work with it. Getting the tank aligned on the stand was super hard. I got suction cups and we did it with three people. Moving the stand around I can do by myself. Put my back up against the cabinet (not the tank!), and use my legs to push it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 My todo list: - mount, wire in, and plumb the ATO - setup the skimmer, neck cleaner, and skimmate locker - build the manifold and setup the CaRx and media reactors - aquascape That's all I can think of at the moment. Here's a teaser (still work in progress): 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Working on the aquascaping, trying to figure out how to embed a video .. It comes across as a download instead of embedded. Are folks just using URLs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Because we need more videos up here!. Comments/suggestions welcomed ...aquascape.wmv My suggestion would be to have a video link that works. [emoji12] Kidding aside, I can't play it for some reason Jolt.
