New tank

[Lloydxmas]

How do I stop all these air bubbles? The pipe is below the waters surface...

 

[Lloydxmas]

Well still having problem with Alot of bubbles in my filter sock and was now wondering how I get the particals float in my water out?

 

[Lloydxmas]

Really..... No one can help me?

 

[nelix10]

Not sure I can help with the bubbles, I get some in my drain as well! As for particles suspended in water I have a foam piece on my mp10 that does a good job of collecting most of that!

 

[mr_X]

I'm not understanding the problem. Bubbles are leaving your filter sock and returning to the DT?

 

[Lloydxmas]

No bubbles make it back to the dt. I have a bubble trap in the sump. But the but the overflow pipe bubbles so much in filter sock it floats my filter sock and the bubble carry all the nasty stuff out of the sock and into the sump.

 

[mr_X]

Oh. Weigh down the sock with a piece of rock then.

 

[Lloydxmas]

That I did already. Lol

 

[Lloydxmas]

I got my first fishies. I got to Occ. Clowns from Ora. My wife and I are excited to actually have fish in the tank. Now we shall see how the to skunk cleaner shrimp I have in there will like them....

 

[Lloydxmas]

Here is one of the clowns. Will have to get another pic when I get home from work tomorrow.

 

[nelix10]

He looks great!

 

[Lloydxmas]

Well quick update. Things are going well. Both clowns are doing very well. My shrimp are loving life and all my parameters are in check. I think it's time for some coral! I may go this weekend to asr and pick up my first zoa!

 

[Lloydxmas]

Went to asr yesterday and got myself my first coral. I picked up a radioactive zoa! In this picture they aren't fully out yet.

I love that morph, unfortunately they don't seem to like me I've had 3 10+ polyp frags melt away on me for no reason. Good luck

 

[Lloydxmas]

How long did you have them before they melted?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Longest was about 3 months and it was about 20-25 heads when it started and was in between some Rastas and scrambled eggs that thrived the other 2 lasted about a month. Every tank is different though, I'm sure yours will be fine

 

[Lloydxmas]

Well just got home from work and all the heads on the zoa are out!

 

[TheTodd]

Photos or it didn't happen!

 

[Lloydxmas]

Here they are fully extended!
