Just got the best b'day/Xmas present ever!!! My wife just surprised me and showed up 7 days early!!! Friends just brought her from airport... I know it's off topic, but I haven't seen her since June!

Lost blue jaw, both tangs, anthias, flame, and clown isn't looking good... I took every precaution...

 

[coffeetwitch]

Man that blows. Hope they pull through! Great to hear about ur sweetie pie

 

[kurtyboh]

[Kio707]

A lil update... Hope u enjoy.

 

[coffeetwitch]

Nice job!

 

[kurtyboh]

I agree with them, looks very nice

Well, I have committed the ultimate sin... I had to use tap water to fill the tank (aprox 40 gallons). My RO/DI unit is still at the old house waiting to get moved. I did however set up my sump, skimmer, and phosban reactor. No algae so far and fish and inverts are good. Think I got lucky or am I doomed?

Also, getting a dog face puffer and butterfly fish today.

Our 75g was filled entirely with tap water before we got a rodi with no ill effects You should be fine.

Make sure we get pictures of the new guys!

is everything all stable and ready for new fish?

 

[Kio707]

Yep. Water is good, system is strong, all fish seem happy. Lion, fox face, clowns, yellow watchman, star fish, and urchin all scooting along and marry. Trates where up a bit, but have leveled out. Just miss the guys I lost. My tangs, my hawk, triggers, and anthias.... Pretty rough.

 

[kurtyboh]

as long as you do some pwc's when the rodi arrives and keep up with the maintenance i dont see how it would hurt. Glad to har they're all moved over and doign good now.

 

[carey]

I'm also glad to hear the tank has stabilized. Hopefully the bad luck has passed and all is gonna go well.

Have fun picking out your new fishies!

 

[Kio707]

No new fish yet, maybe today. But here's a lil update. Guess the foxface sleeps at 430 am.. Lol

 

[Kio707]
