This is an awesome tank but I think Phil is going to make it just as good if not better soon with a his good start.

BTW how long it takes you(house) to get the giant clam in the center to this size and what's his size now?

Well, since the move......things were looking ok but then it started going downhill & corals were not looking good.
I had a few losses & I started to get frustrated.....to the point where I was planning to go FOWL because I barely had tome to deal with the tank & not understaing the problem.

When switching skimmers, I found the problem.

In my previous 65 gal my Euro-Reef's gate valve was above water level, but I still siliconed the **** out of the screw.
I my current sump the water level is higher & the gate-valve was partially submerged.
While ready to wash out the skimmer the silicone ball (that covered the screw) fell right off exposing a very badly rusting screw.
Chips of the screw were falling right off. Even the silicone had rust on it.

Although fish & inverts were / are all in great health, coral color & expansion never really looked good.

Losses:
Various SPS
Blasto collection
Alveopora
Lobo (making a comeback)

I've been doing WC's & will be adding "Poly Pads" tonight.
Time to come back strong!

I also lowered my Lumenarc & added an IceCap fan (with Deanos' assistance), which was way too high, & possibly caused alot of my corals to "stretch" up to the light.


Will keep you guys updated on my mission.


Thanks for the bump-
