Very nicely done! Fish must be loving their new home!
I think I've generated a makeshift algae scrubber. I just added some eggcrate after my skimmer section and threw in some macro algae before the baffles. Noticed some green algae forming on the eggcrate. |
Cool! I've been looking forward to seeing this tank stocked. :mrgreen:

Starting to tie up the loose ends and get back to reefing lol
I installed some under counter led's on the stand frame so I can see whats happening under there when the frag lights are off. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...-38-55_428.jpg I also got an LED grow panel from Kevin (reefme) to grow the algae on the algae scrubber http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...-38-10_589.jpg now for the exciting stuff (for me anyways lol) I built a shuttle pc and found a mimo 7" touchscreen and got them up and running. Thanks to Blue World Aquarium in Victoria for the brilliant idea! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...-02-14_290.jpg (yes thats the Oil King game on :mrgreen:) http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...-40-23_924.jpg As for the livestock the transfer went very well all the fish are doing great and are loving the space. I did loose my cleaner shrimp :sad: and a handful of snails aren't doing so well. I made a mistake and didn't recheck my salinity before moving things over. The salinity was dead on 1.020 when I filled it but over the week that I moved rock in and got ready for the fishes I removed water and topped off and....after the shrimp died the salinity was 1.010. The snails I thought all died but when I went to remove them they weren't dead but seemed to be stunned. I've been slowly brining it up and they are mostly back to normal now. |
Some more things on the to-do list:
-Chris is building me a custom top off tank and it's going on a pull out shelf for easy filling. - install a couple cheap webcams on each side of the sump so I can check on things when I'm away from home or even when the skirting is on without removing it. - control the diatom issue:twised: -add some frags to the frag section - Get some more fishies!! |
I really like your algea scrubber. Never seen that before. Might just try it out
|
Very nice! I like the High Tech stuff you are doing. Well done!
