ch cha cha changes..

[Bergy]

not sure i will be up to doing much after that, but then again, i dont really drink, especially when i will be driving... but, it might be late...

i will contact you when i get back to let you know when i get back...

[psykokid]

knowing how you are such a night club party guy and how you love to be out away from home late at night..

[Bergy]

it wasnt that late, at least not for me... but i did get home around midnight, and had a blast...  wow, was that vocalist hot... according to renee, it gave her goose bumps....especially when she sang AT LAST... altbough i didnt thing that was her best song... i kinda like the ella version of LITTLE YELLOW BASKET...

now that was just perfect.. it was like we were in the forties...and listening to it for the first time... v ery   good versions of the song...



anyways,  i got lannys chiller, but the filter is mia...

actully, renees said something about having some of teh cvannisters in boxes abnd she didnt get it out in time or something like that...

[psykokid]

no worries, im still going to try and make it over later this afternoon regardless to help you setup the carx

[Bergy]

ok, give me a call if and when you are available...

my back is a bit worst then normal today, not sure if it is related to last nite, (i dont think it is)... but just a bad nite of sleep...

anyways, i will take an extra pill, or actually, i will take my pills earlier then normal if you are available...so, please call when you are thinking of comin on over...


btw:  Im one step away from giving up on my sps...

my lps and everything looks great, but i lost another frag that was growing out well... but  it too started to show the same sypmptoms of flufflin off flesh...(fof)
???


i just just did a water change on sunday, and it was lookin fine.. but now, it is almost all gone... it wasnt a big piece thankfully, (I dont have big pieces left)... but not sure what is goin on...

either way, the the clock is tickin, im waitin for the banks to get off thier butts and kick me out... and and i will be on the road.. drivin and lookin for the next new home....  hopefully i can find something quick as i will hate the driving and explorin part... i love the destination mjust not the trip...

[psykokid]

if you have anything you want me to hold just in case things are wonky lmk and i'll be glad to hang onto it for you until you get things sorted. Im hopefully getting my replacement phone today so i'll give you a ring after i pick it up..

If the banks do put you out and you need to store/house things until you get situated im sure between lanny and I we can accommodate your fish/corals and store your hardware till you get things ironed out..

[Bergy]

im kinda countin on you and lanny, to be honest, and sorry if that is presumptious...

as for grabbin things to avoid potential death, i guess you can look and see what you think and see if i have things at risk or what ...

and yea, forgot about your fone...  just come on over whenever, i have already taken my pain med... i really am havin issues... and the pain level is worthy of some more methadone... thats what it is for.....

[psykokid]

I've got to pick up the girl from school at 3, drop her off at the house and then run up to pasadena and get my replacement phone, so how ever long that takes.. figure somewhere around 4ish give or take..

[psykokid]

after fetting about with some fittings (and making sure the aqualifter was turned on in the AC software) the CA reactor is up and running, now the fun part of getting it all tweaked and working right..

[Bergy]

well, i got my calcium reactor hooked up and runnin thanks to Jake...  it was uber easy... for me... hehehehehehe and for some reason, even though it was easy, i was sweatin up a storm... drippin off like a rain storm... hmmmmm, not pretty... sorry jake...

it went in ok, although i kinda forgot about the supply pump/feed pump... and havin to scramble at the last minute lookin for fitting and adapters to get it hooked up to match the aqua lifter and teh reactor John guest fitting...but, Jake was able to not only figure that connection out, but even hooked up a temporary pump to fill up the reactor quicker...

(the reason it took as long as it did was because i didnt have the power on to the pump, via the aqua controller... ooops

im really glad it is up and runnin and to get baseline peramters...

SG = 1.026
ALK = 5mg/l
Calcium = 325  (effluent from reactor = 385)

I guess i have a calcium issue...

and like jake said, i need to dial in the reactor and make sure it is stable... the goal with reactors is to create a contant suppliment that matches the demand of hte tank... the controller is there to make sure something doesnt jmp or go wacky, but ideally, it should not be used to 'control' the dosage... just for 'insurance'...

if your tank sues 10mg/l per day, then the reactor should supply 10.

this process of dialling in takes a while, but with the regulator i have, it is easier and faster then most all the other reactors and regulators...

Im hopin to get the calcium up as quickly as safely as possible... but for now, i will work slowly to make sure the regulator doesnt go all funky wunky

[Bergy]

Ok, im thinkin i am gettin good at testing calcium.. i dont have to read my directions anymore... hehehehe

calcium -  410
alk = 9-10
magnesium = 1400+
no3 -  20 sera    or 1 on the Elos test kit



things look goo, and all that, cept i lost the couple acros / sps about three weeks ago, and this week, i lost my long tipped fungia 

friggin pissed... it was doing so well.. puffy with lots of extension.. never saw it stressed EVER....

And steve has some that are kinda cool, but i now, i dont think so...


i have changes... even when they are good changes, things seem to go whacky... or is it just me...



anyways... the calcium reactor is pretty stable... and i picked up the glass the other day... and i screwed up one piece... it was supposed to be one of the baffles, as in over under over... but i was just to do an over under.... but for some reason, i went under over...

it basically makes it no need to add the secon baffle... so i am thinkin im done... it's been wet tested, and no leadks, even though it would have to be a serously bad leak to make a difference in a sump..

i will give it another cleaning and get on it tomorrow or saturday...

[RandyFolds]

Heliofungia, with the long tentacles, fare the worst in captivity, IIRC. I wouldn't pull the skeleton, that's for sure. You might just be cranking out babies for a while.

[psykokid]

did you manage to go and pick up your glass for the sump?

[Bergy]

im guessing you didnt read my post the other day...

and yes, i did pick up the glass, and put it togeterher, but did it 'wrong' so now, i only have one baffle... a second wont do much the way i have it, so will ahve to do with wyat i got..

did you manage to go and pick up your glass for the sump?

[psykokid]

yeah, i fail at reading comprehension..
