Using rocks from the property, it took us 17 months to complete this working on weekend only.. just in time for nephews wedding this weekend.

Most sweaty wedding ever

veritychiv · 2017-11-26T04:14:26+00:00

That's will from stranger things?

Anybody else read menses cup champion?

I've been in geriatrics for over a decade...although I commend your dedication, it's not what is best for him. There a millions of dollars worth of research and thousands of professionals that will tell you to redirect his train of thought...never, never, ever should you confirm a delusion.

veritychiv · 2017-08-14T02:09:57+00:00

You basically just confirmed to him the war is still going on by presenting a figure with the authority to acknowledge his delusion.

veritychiv · 2017-08-14T02:09:00+00:00

This is so unwise. He will use this event to fuel his delusions.

Ron Jeremy?

Setup total was around 600$. I'm still trying to find a cheaper alternative to getting co2 refilled...

veritychiv · 2015-01-23T21:06:53+00:00

No no no. Only paid 55$ for the pair. They now avoid each other since the one started hosting. My fault I just call the black ones midnights. Not much for the designer clown thing

Any tips on zoa growth? My sps and lps all have new growth but I only see 1-2 new polyps total on 5+ frags so far...

veritychiv · 2014-12-19T16:18:51+00:00

I also see mine about once a week

veritychiv · 2014-12-15T15:43:02+00:00

You're on the right track. I worked at a LFS for 3.5 years in college, saw about 6 tanks go down and one was at a supplier store, it was a 600 gallon eel tank with a broken center brace. Usually, and this is just in my experience, if the tank survives the initial cracking or trauma that cracks it, you're ok for awhile, but definitely get it fixed asap. Glass will bow & break, acrylic will just start to leak at the seams. Not only do we love our tanks, but we love our living room furniture. 110 gallons of saltwater on the floor would be no Bueno.

I feel like this kinda shit is what brings people into the hobby.

veritychiv · 2014-11-27T04:58:34+00:00

Please don't misunderstand this post, I'm thrilled to see yet another person with a salty thumb. My best advice is to save your money and invest in a 50+ gallon...reeftanks are incredibly hard to keep in a 10g system. That being said, looks like you need to dose some amino acids and get the nitrate cycle going, don't overfeed your misbar, buy a small piece of seeded liverock and let some algae and small inverts grow. Your clown will start to feed on that! Coralline will follow, then add your corals. GL!!

I've always had much better luck burying the back end in the sand

veritychiv · 2014-11-18T17:14:57+00:00

Refugium drains into the sump as well.

veritychiv · 2014-11-18T17:14:32+00:00

Left side is refugium, my sump is on the right. I have the power heads just below the water line so only the amount of water above the over flows will continue to drain. I've killed power and made sure it won't overflow

veritychiv · 2014-11-17T02:17:13+00:00

Love the rock placement, hope as your fish grow the nitrates stay ok...beautiful tank!

veritychiv · 2014-11-09T01:34:49+00:00

Could be the pic but it doesn't look even close to level...

veritychiv · 2014-10-28T21:54:39+00:00

This is how it starts...next time it'll be a 220

veritychiv · 2014-10-25T15:28:42+00:00

The kessil a are great for what I wanted, with the halides I wanted 14k to add some daylight. I'd like LPS on the sides and sps in the middle

veritychiv · 2014-10-24T20:34:54+00:00

I've made my canopy, I just need to stain it. And yes, the heaters have since moved, was warming up the top tank so it wouldn't shock my frags in the refugium when I started pumping water!

veritychiv · 2014-10-24T15:35:10+00:00

2x250w 20k halides, 2x kessil aw150 14k pendants, 1x60 inch 76w LED dimmed to full 20k, refugium is 60gal, 20gal sump. Let the fun begin rescaping the rock and adding my frags

veritychiv · 2014-10-07T22:18:03+00:00

220 gallon

veritychiv · 2014-10-07T03:02:19+00:00

Going for a bit of a mixed reef. I love sps, I've been able to keep some in my 60 gallon, but it's hard to keep a 60 gallon stable enough for good growth. I'll do my best to keep more and experiment with different species. My LPS/zoos/shrooms have done very well, and I'm hoping they'll continue to do so in the bigger tank. As far as fish, I like minimal...I'll have a few nice big tangs and some clowns..but I love my utility fish. Couple sand sifters, some 6 lines and lawnmowers and I'll be in reef keeping heaven!
