Saltgator's 240 Build

[prsnlty]

That's a great deal also! The ones I looked at are on CL Tampa area if you're interested.

 

[Saltgator]

I'll check out CL in Tampa now. I lucked out and found the ones I bought on ebay and coming out of Jacksonville. Just waiting on a tracking and all.

 

[schooleyosis]

That was a good deal Brad!

 

[Saltgator]

Thanks Ryan. I'm looking forward to them and seeing where things go from here.

I don't blame you on the MH's, I just switched back to the T5's : () hope they work out for you!

 

[Saltgator]

Thanks Luke. How's your build and that giant skimmer doing?

 

[luke33]

Things are good Brad. Much better now that I have the t5's!

 

[Saltgator]

Good to hear. Looking forward to some updates on the system

 

[Saltgator]

Halides are up. Hung them Saturday. Trying to get by with 3. So far, everything is opening up nice. Will try to get pics soon.

 

[prsnlty]

[Saltgator]

Working on it, lol. Trying to get some coraline of the bottom of the front panel is impossible. Almost like it's painted on!

 

[prsnlty]

Get a flipper max. That thing is awesome and worth every penny!

 

[Saltgator]

Lol, I have one and it can't get it either, lol. I've tried credit cards, the flipper max, 2 x no name acrylic scrapers and fingernails. This stuff is on bad. I'm actually gonna take the stainless steel blade for the flipper and try easily scraping it. I've been practicing on a frag rack but haven't went for it on the dt yet

 

[prsnlty]

I think that may be a good idea to try the glass blade. Did an amazing job on heavy coraline in my 45 softy tank.

 

[Saltgator]

Lucky lucky me! After seeing a few tangs of mine act weird, I started to observe spots.... yep... ich. So, a week and half before vacation, I just ripped all of my rocks out to catch the remaining tangs. My angel and fowleri are so in love with food, they dove into the net going after pellets. So now the reef room has been flipped upside-down and now has a 100g stock tank with my fish in it. So, here goes the start of hypo salinity. @Humblefish thanks for the pm's and your time (I questioned myself and reach out for thoughts). Sorry no DT pics, but here ya go on the qt and angry fish

 

[Humblefish]

@Saltgator Good luck, buddy. It's always something, isn't it? Right now I'm having problems getting Hippo tangs thru my QT regimen. But the CBB, Moorish Idols are all doing just fine. Go figure.

 

[Saltgator]

Yes it's always something, lol. I was on the verge of getting a ccb and clam but this happened. Would love a moorish idol but too afraid. Gonna be looking into anthias and/or wrasse next (after qt).
