Made a DIY Kalk dripper for 90gl, unfortently theres a hole in the milk jug I over looked, so I have to remake it.

Made a new DIY Kalk dripper. This time out of a sprite bottle. Thats why you gotta drink sprite so you can make Kalk drippers. Also ordered some kalk to go with it.

Added some more caulerpa in the tank. Unsure of what kind but so far about a week later its looking pretty good. Starting to grow even.

8-15-00
Added lots of new things I got for a great deal. For only 20$ I got:: a large rock covered in this neon hairy shroom, another rock with various shrooms on it. A small frogspawn coral frag(well isnt that small), a medium Sacrophyton(kind on the reef Aq V 2 cover), 16 or so astrea snails, and thats it that went in the 90gl. ALL FOR JUST 20$!!!!!! like finding gold. I also got some nice sized SPS frags too in that deal, but they went in the nano.
Also on the Sacrophyton, theres some black and orange button polyps, and other kinds too. Thought I saw a yellow one also.

Took out the frogspawn coral and moved it to the nano reef. Looked to be dieing in this tank. most likely due to lack of light.

Forgot to add this a while back, but the colony of grape macroalgae in my tank crashed on me. Verylittle left in the tank right now. But there is little patches of it here and there. Still plenty in the nano if I want to add more though. Else most of the stuff is looking good right now.

Havnt added anything here for awhile, so I thought Id add something. I cleaned the tank yesterday, it had gotten pretty bad, mostly my faught. I guess I shouldnt have sprained my ankel and made my self useless ~ jk
nothing new has been added. I am getting some good growths of halimeda and some grape like macro algaes. The brown shroom has also been doing really well. My clam isnt looking so hot though. I may have to move it soon

I Did a water change a few days ago. I had moved the clam back in December, but it later died. I think my rainfords goby died too as I no longer see it anywhere, nor have seen it in a long time.

Ive noticed that I kept writing XX-XX-00 for dates, so I changed that.
Anyhow, nothing new to report really. Algae is still bad.

NANO NEWS!

Got Corals I ordered from Keith today. all came in good shape. Looking better than I expected.
Had ordered :: 1 Bright Green Sinularia, one Choco Brown Sinularia, one blue green nepthea, one Kenya tree coral(capnella) and one sacrophyton. I actually got an extra brown sin, or it just broke in half during transit

A few days ago, I started trying to take out my peppermint shrimp in my nanos main tank, to move them into the sump. I got one out, still working on the 2nd. They were trying to eat my rock anenome. Which makes sense as thats pretty much what they eat.
Also, my Capnella isnt looking so good, else the rest of the corals I got look pretty darn good.
ALSO... I added a micro jet pump to the nano. Not hooked up right now untill I can get a grounded timer. Else everyso often I plug it in and unplug it doing this for a while if Im really bored.

8-15-00
Added a few shrooms, this green funny thing. looks like a white stick with some green neon stuff on it. Also added some type of SPS from that deal I got. look to the left to learn more about that deal I got.

8-17-00
Added a 15watt NO actinic tube to the lighting. Turns on at 6:30am, off at 9:30. I try to have the main lighting(the 2 36watt PCs) on after this goes on, and off before this goes off. So now there is a total of 87watts of light (36+36+15=87watts).

9-04-00
Added a frogspawn coral to lower right corner(front) as it looked to be dieing in the 90gl. My guess, not enough light in the 90. Maybe something else though.

Everything seems to be great. My sps are really growing well. Its amazing me. The frogspawn is doing great too. I found some new shroom popping up from a rock. I added some halimeda to the sump, too last night.

01-15-01
I did a water change a few days ago. Everything seems to be growing great and expanding really well.

This weird goldish brown color algae is really taking my tank over. It dosnt look all that bad though, it actually makes the tank look more natural, and allows for more pods and stuff to grow.
