An Engineer's Approach to Saltwater
Just a quick update here…
I got tired of having to open the Hanna Phosphorus to Phosphate table, so I wrote a calculator that does it for you! It is still under calculators in the same spot.
Here’s a direct link to that page: Phosphorus -> Phosphate Calculator
Well so much for my first new fish getting here today… I got a call from Live Aquaria telling me they weren’t going to ship the fish out due to potential delays at UPS’s hub in Kansas City. They are going to try again for delivery on Tuesday, but we are supposed to get snow/rain Monday and Tuesday so it might not happen…
UPDATE 1/16/18: The fish have arrived! It was not without drama though more about that in another post.
I had the best of intentions to keep this blog updated, but for so many reasons I got behind and it’s been almost a year since my last post. Things went from great to crap during the year and I started to contemplate tearing down the tank. I had a mini crash while I was away on a trip and I’m still trying to recover from it. I lost 98% of my corals, including some I didn’t get a chance to even talk about on here.
Well, it is a new year and time to get a new start. I won the Reef2Reef monthly supporter giveaway in November which is a $100 Drs Foster and Smit/Live Aquaria gift card. I decided to finally get some new fish in my tank and I placed an order which will get here on Friday!
Here is what I ordered:
Yellow Corris Wrasse
ORA Captive-bred Yellow Watchman Goby
Exquisite Firefish (more yellow in it)
I also ordered a whole bunch of snails to resupply my cleanup crew. More updates to follow!
I’ve been so bad at keeping this site up to date. It was mostly due to using an old iWeb website which meant I needed to get on my computer and spend half an hour to make the simplest change. I made the leap into WordPress and I’m going to be able to stay much more active with the site now. My plan is to update this page with new things I’ve learned (quarantining, disease treatment, fragging tips, etc.) and to also keep an running log of the corals and fish in my tank. I started to forget what some of my corals are called.
