My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well the snail lasted one night, lol. He was moving corals and he knocked one of my Koralias off the wall and that was it. Banished to the FOWLR.

I am putting on my new lights tonight!! Just have to make the mounts today, hopefully this goes well and I don't shock my corals.

Too bad about the snail, but it sounds like it was causing too much trouble.

For reference that is a small frag plug.

Too bad LiveAquaria did a poor job packing him and he showed up in some really cold water. He seems to be acting strange, but is swimming around.

Ha, well it is my favorite fish so I couldn't help myself. Plus I have never seen one before and can't even find a picture of one or anyone who has owned one. I mean it has to have happened, but it is pretty darn rare. DD sold 3 of them..

I have been buying and selling a lot of stuff to make some money to offset my costs. Still in the red however ;). I also started selling a few frags lately which is very gratifying knowing that people will buy stuff I am growing. First time experiences in that department.

Just got my new lights mounted! I kept the same bulbs but cut my lighting back an hour and half for tomorrow and will ramp it up as needed from there. I am pretty stoked to see if this helps my stuff color up. I am hoping it will allow me to keep a shorter light schedule to some extent.
 
Just tested my parameters and my ALK WAS 5!!!!

Good thing I noticed. The alk tube was clogged because the tube had slide into the water, yikes!! I put it in a better spot now and manually dosed some. I will have to bring it back up over a couple days.
 
What kind of lights did you go with?
 
A few more pics...didn't doctor them at all but that kryptonite candy cane looks like I did. I can't stop taking pics of the neon green hammer, it's just so photogenic lol. Also, a sweet plate coral that a got from Forrest cause his angel was picking at it(what he doesn't know is I told the angel to do that...shhhh) Last one is a Laker's scroll.

Thanks!

Not great to be honest. He was doing ok, then very bad, now not quite as bad. Time will tell I guess. I talked with Foster's so I have a bit more time.
