Just a little update.
Got my new Phoenix 14K bulbs in.Gonne change out those ugly 10000Ks here in a few minutes.
And I've decided to look at the bright side of my dino outbreak.Looks like it has killed out all my kenya weeds:bounce:

 

[ccCapt]

Good luck Yote. I really hope all the work you did cleaning pays off.
Any sign of the dino's returning yet?

 

[yote]

Not that I can see Capt.But I hadnt really run my lights either.
We'll see what happens after I change my bulbs out here in a few minutes.Plan to start them back with just a 6 hour photoperiod and work back up to 12 hours total buy adding 15 minutes every 3rd day.

You can have all that crap you want Biff.But you'll have to get your own:mrgreen:

Sorry to hear about everything that went on with your tank. I hope you get it back running ASAP. Take it easy.

Once you are back on track add some tuxedo urchins to your system. careful on the acclimation and initial placement, they will help to clean up your live rock, and control some of the nutrients that cause your problem. I have 6 tuxedo urchins and two long spine urchins in my system. of course be careful with the long spine as fish and inverts do tend to get stung occasionally. keep after it and good luck. Pm me anytime you like.

HAdnt thought about urchins as part of the CUC.And we're all the time getting urchins in the live rock shipments.
Thanks for the tip John.

Jeez Yote Im real sorry to hear about the troubles

 

[yote]

Thanks guys.I think(knocking on wood)that I might have the dinos beat down some.At least if they gonna show back up,there not coming as fast as they was.
I actually ment to post some pics with my new bulbs,but the timers cut em off before I got a chance.Maybe tomorrow night I'll get that done.

 

[Smitty]

I'm glad to see you made progress in your tank. Hopefully, they don't return.

 

[Alexander]

hell yeah dude. no more kenyas!!!!!!

 

[Bifferwine]

Always look on the bright side of things...

 

[yote]

Just an update.
I think I'm getting the upper hand on the dinos.Not saying I've got em beat yet,but at least my sand and rock dont look like their covered with rust brown and black snot.
Think I'll show off my new Phenoix 14K bulbs too.
Here is a shot with the 10000Ks:

And here are the 14Ks:

Both shots are with the actinics on.No editing what so ever with either pic.

Looks good. Glad to hear your dino problem is starting to fade away.

 

[bobby]

Looks great! I like the blue on the bulbs not too blue, but just blue enough. Awesome!

Do you only have two powerheads?

 

[Rushy]

Looking good buddy, glad to see and hear things are on the up :D
