Thanks for your information iamfrontosa. I will make a habit of checking the parameters every 24hra to adjust as necessary. I can't wait to find that sweet spot, well until I had some more frags and get some growth.

I wouldn't split that dose any smaller. 15 mL into a 150-gallon tank is peanuts.

LOL! When I was looking at it I thought the same. I just didn't want to go full speed and power and start dosing too much.

A Couple Frags Added to Fill the Bare Spots

Picked up a few frags to add to the tank and hopefully they won't melt away!

Bicolour Angel is curious about the new additions.

Tank Skirt

I finally got around to getting the panels cut and fitted for the tank. I shopped around and located the cheapest cabinet panels I could find. I was able to locate some "rare earth magnets" in Edmonton which saved me having to order them online. I used a counter sinking bit on the panels to allow the magnets to be flush inside the cabinet panel. From there I glued the magnets on to the panels using some gorilla glue. I have attached some photographs of the panels and the Skirt in place. Overall I'm happy with the overall look. I am considering trying to find some material to use as sound proofing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone using something that will dampen the sound more then just the cabinet alone? I don't find the equipment too loud, however it would be nice for it to be as near to silent as I can get it.

The Angelfish is like, "Dad bought us some fresh food!"
