I have always liked a school of yellow tangs.

I find them so colourful and they really add a calmness to the tank.

Today has been productive;
- replaced the netting on my lid.
- set up two new light fixtures (AI Sols)
- did some in tank clean up; last minute colony moves before encrusting begins
- refilled my autofeeder and upped the frequency of feedings (I have pigs, not fish)
- refilled my dosing containers
- re calibrated my daily dosing to account for the upped usage lately.
- Added T5s to the refugium

Three more fixtures and I should be done adding lights. I'm just waiting for an AI Hydra to show up so I can decide if my last two fixtures will be Kessil 360s or Hydras.

You are going to have first hand experience with different lighting simultaneously over one tank. Will you keep them all or settle with a favorite and sell the others?

michika 05-06-2014 04:00 AM

I'm going to settle with LEDs, half blues and half full spectrums. I'll repurpose what I can and probably sell the rest. Whichever full spectrum LED fixture doesn't make the cut will become primary frag tank.

The LAST big upgrade
 
Added some rock to the display to fill in some of the empty spots. I'm still not happy with the left side, but I am getting closer to something I can live with. I'll keeping adding more rock every week until I'm pleased with it I guess.

After nearly a month in the tank my butterfly, the first fish to do so, has finally figured out what the shrimp are for. Now he is hanging out being cleaned all the time.

Looking great! Did you get the lights up you were waiting for?

michika 05-19-2014 12:14 AM

Thank you. Yes, I did. The Sol Blues are up and running, the Hydra is here but not online yet. I'm just waiting for the Apex AI module to arrive, hopefully Tuesday.
