My crammed sump

 

[Pseudo]

Clean that **** up.. So what thread am I supposed to be watching now? This one or the new tank thread. I think there is an MR rule against more than one tank thread at a time

 

[Tonyscoots84]

both cause this is gonna be running till beginning of next year while i stock up for the new tank and build that out :biggrin:... and no kasei no rules on that :fight2: :tongue1:

 

[Pseudo]

Then no rules.. Then I am going to build my dream 60 cube now! By the way, you have a Marineland withh the external drains out the back or on the bottom? What are you going to do with the MP10's ?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

The tank has the holes on the back the overflow is to tight for it to be drilled on the bottom. Gonna b selling them

 

[Pseudo]

Yep, I am looking for a DB 60 rimless. Just thinking about it now. Hate Richie for getting me back into the hobby. I am already thinking upgrade!

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Updated tank shot. Corals are on the rocks

I also scrapped alot of coralline algae off that purple rock to spread the algae faster

I kept all the corals close to each other cause alot more corals are coming

2 new corals
The one on the right is called purple ice and the left one is unknown

my neptune apex controller didnt work anymore. I emailed paul at neptune i told him what the prolem was so he said send it in and we will take care of it. Great customer service. I was using the red sea test kit and was screwing the vial onto the holder and the glass shattered and i cut myself pretty bad but i sent them an email ad well and they are sending me a new vial. You gotta love great customer service

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i gotta say neptune seriously has some excellent customer service. they already sent it back to me fixed and i should be receiving it on monday :biggrin: GO NEPTUNE....

Tony are the frags on the rocks with plug disc or the circle ones? If there the circle ones how were you able to glue on the rock so well? I have the square ones and still no good luck for me when it comes to glue the frags on to the rocks.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

it was a plug disc i cut the plug off with a bone cutter. then you just glue it right on the rock very simple ... Do you need me to show you at the swap :lol2: :iamwithst :kidding:

also you have to make sure you let the glue setup by dipping the plug with glue on it in the saltwater for a few seconds then place the frag on the glue and hold it there for a few more seconds under the water. guess what happens a few seconds later it stays ... you do the same thing when glueing the plug to the rock except you smoosh it down and move it around the rock a little till it holds.

Lol what type of glue did you use?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

the one from home depot

ic gel works just as good

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thankyou so much neptune A+++++ for customer service and speed. Neptune really rocks in the customer service department (paul). they fixed my apex and it works great.

I wish Digital Aquatics didn't go down the tubes. Apex is my next purchase. Glad you had a great turnaround and are back up and running T.

 

[MeanGreenEyes]

That is good customer service. Now that I've got that lighting out of the way...Apex is next...I hate my RKL. Friend's with Apex's all say they're the way to go. Still waiting to hear about this tank upgrade?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Theres a thread for the upgrade which has been updated tonite :biggrin

Thanks kris i got alot of work ahead of me to get these corals back to the way they use to be
