Dunc's 'I've moved house again so it would be rude not to buy another tank' 93 cube

[duncangweller]

Unfortunately, due to the rushed nature of my build I lost a good chunk of my SPS corals, most of them in fact! A real shame as I and a few nice pieces. So at the moment the tank is looking all a bit grey. Lucky for me, all the pieces I lost came from either Kelly, Walter or Ryan, who are all local. So expect me to be knocking on your door when everything gets settled down over here fellas.

Sorry to hear about your SPS not making it. As soon as you're ready, though, let me know. I'm sure I can help you out. Will do some fresh clips if necessary.

Thanks Walter, that would be great.

Here's a pic of the Hydra mounted above the tank with the 48" EXT mount and 12" EXT rail.

Tank is looking great sorry to hear about the sps I always have more also when the tank is ready I'm also interested in your light as I am thinking of upgrading my ai sol lights to hydras,keep up the good work man.

The light has a great spread. Unfortunately I can't really give much info on it at the mo as I can only run it at about 25% for fear of cooking what I have left. I'll keep you posted over the next month or so.

Quick update, fish ate doing well, corals continue to disappear. I seen to be having STN on my SPS at the mo. I have some big colonies that are disappearing before my eyes. My params seem good. The only thing I can think is that my lack of sump/skimmer is causing it to happen. As I have also changed from t5 to LED perhaps this is contributing.

Its frustrating as I have moved many times and never lost anything

Sorry to hear about the problem I don't know whether it will be of any help but I have stopped RTN twice using furan 2 dip. Maybe try dipping the corals that's STNing to see if it helps?

BTW new tank looks awesome

[duncangweller]

Thanks for the info. Its a real shame as things were really growing well in my old tank. I'll get this one going well and before I know it I'll be rocking again.

Its a little bit depressing to see it all die before you though.

Started mounting my apex controller and other electronics to a pa el that I screwed to the inside of the legs of my stand. It keeps any water away from the expensive stuff and serves as a nice brain to my tank.
