Another one bites the dust

Submitted by pwnell on Wed, 08/25/2010 - 21:13

Start counting down... In 3 months this tank will be no more :(  And I really liked this tank - it has NO algae, NO pests and everything in it is still perfectly healthy since I started it...

Eish cannot win.  And at about $20k a tank it is hard to just start up another one, especially considering the time and effort it takes to get to a point where it is starting to look like something.

New 90g started

As many of you might know by now, I have recently (2 weeks ago) purchased a 90g reef aquarium. Follow my build log here: http://www.waldonell.com/me/90g_build_log

Where have all the tanks gone?

Anyone browsing my reef aquarium articles will immediately see all my tanks have been dismantled.  The reason for this is not because I am out of the hobby, but rather due to necessity.

Since I am staying in Canada for a while I needed to tear down all my tanks.  But fear not - soon I'll be setting up new tanks.

I have just purchased a 12g nano tank. I will post a full update in a couple of days.

My 480g tank is doing quite good... I am starting to have good micro algae growth so the snails should be happier.

Here is a shot of my Chocolate Chip Starfish eating some juicy mussel:

An update on my reef

I have not posted any pictures of my reef aquarium in a long time, so here goes:

I've got copepods!

Submitted by pwnell on Mon, 06/25/2007 - 20:08

About four days ago I started seeing very faint signs of diatoms on my glass - and knew it was not long before the pods would start showing up. Well, three days ago I started noticing them - thousands of tiny copepods.

This is a good day.

Merger

Submitted by pwnell on Sun, 06/24/2007 - 17:22

Seems I like consolidating things... I have just merged my reef blog with my main blog - I just hate all these billions of small sites floating around.

I'd much rather have one place where I can blog about everything and people can filter based on the categories they are interested in.

Hope this works better for everyone.
