Invest in a timer is probably the best thing you could do. And keep up your water changes religiously. You'll get it back sweet again in no time

 

[mscott]

Haha, yea, going to try keep up the water changes, bad part is mum always says "do it tomorrow" but then never takes me to do it

 

[mscott]

Did the water change, corals are looking happier and are moving alot more. As the clown like burying the plates and other small thing, seeing them with the enerjy to inflate themselfs to get rid of the sand is a great sight.

some new shots and an updated FTS, alot less algae!!!
Dropped feedings in half and it has payed of i think.
Looking to get a new small thing of LED's to put between the main lights just to suplement some colours but also to light up the middle untill i can hang it.

 

[chimaera]

Looking really good!

 

[mscott]

cheers :), its much better.
i should add, the fluffy morph under the nem, is actually 1/3rd of its actual size, the other two/3rds are on the other side of the rock.
The algae at the front is just what was stuck onto my macro, other than that there is none in the tank :)

Well I uttered the dreaded s word and added a sump to my system, however im struggleing to get the input and output to the same level.
Im running it in a canister filter type method, gravity fed in and pumped back out

 

[chimaera]

Yikes ... so trying to match pump speed exactly to the drain rate? Any pics of the system?

 

[mscott]

TANope other way around hahah. Matching drain rate to pump speed.
I had a spare 30 l of water so I just said wth I'll give it a go.
I'll grab some pics soon, btw its really DIY haha

[chimaera]

I think you're setting yourself up for disaster :p
Unless this approach has been done and works safely.

 

[mscott]

well its working quite well now haha.
we will see how it goes overnight and ill see if im going to fill the tank up fully to where i like it.
im also going to try and 'seal' the sump so it dosnt overflow much, if at all

 

[mscott]

ok, well the time has come to saddly say goodbye to this setup.
Looking to sell as a WHOLE for now.
Anyone interested shoot me a message, anyone who knows anyone whos interested let me know.
Cheers

Any reason for selling up?

 

[mscott]

Just after a break, and some rocky ground with the missus.
She pays for most of it soooo yea.
But if it sells ill just be using the money to start up a smaller tank, but hopefully much nicer

 

[MagicJ]

Best of luck mate - hope it all works out.

 

[mscott]

thanks mate, will be a shame to see it go, but a smaller tank will be coming out of the shed imediatly

Family first. Funny thing is women aren't always wrong, they just think differently. :)

Good Luck

as much as we love out tanks etc, there are more important things in life :)

 

[macca_75]

Sorry to see you selling up (although a downsize isn't really selling up ;) )

If you wanted to get rid of that (larger of the 2) sumps I sold you I'd be happy to pay you back what you paid me for it. I have a need now, but no tank (always the way).

Either way, best of luck for whatever the future holds.
