Where have all the tanks gone?
Submitted by pwnell on Sat, 02/07/2009 - 14:31Anyone 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.

12g Nano Project
Submitted by pwnell on Sat, 06/30/2007 - 03:55I have just purchased a 12g nano tank. I will post a full update in a couple of days.
Some pictures from the 480g
Submitted by pwnell on Wed, 06/27/2007 - 02:39My 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:
My Anemone Hermit Crab loves to walk all around the tank:
An update on my reef
Submitted by pwnell on Wed, 06/27/2007 - 02:02I 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 - 22:08About 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 - 19:22Seems 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.
ReefCentral thread
Submitted by pwnell on Fri, 06/01/2007 - 04:51For those interested in following the events related to my 480g project, take note that I sometimes write stuff on ReefCentral that I do not repeat on here. So feel free to visit my thread there.
Followup...
Submitted by pwnell on Thu, 05/31/2007 - 21:31Actually I was slightly wrong with my observations. The pipe leading from the overflow to the skimmer was actually inclined away from the skimmer - a couple of degrees...
I removed 32mm of wood from the skimmer's base support and replaced it with 25mm polystyrene. It seems as if I have a slight downward slant now. Will start the circulation back up in an hour's time.
