290G Peninsula Tank

Yesterday I added the fish from my other tanks into the main display...they seem very happy though I was worried about my clown as he seemed distressed while in transfer between my houses.

I'm using Prodibio on this tank but the instructions for use from both them and from Aqua-digital are pretty vague, so after dosing 30 vials of Startup 8 days ago, today I started with the bio-digest and bioptim. I will start tracking them at 15 days now. Hopefully this keeps my tank ticking along the way that it's supposed to.

30 vials?

YAY, FISH!!!! I just bought a 6-pack of those Cardinalfish for my 50-gallon LPS tank. They are very pretty.

Figured an update is long overdue. Last week, I purchased my first batch of frags during a trip to Kamloops. Thanks again Matt.

Here they are in a little quarantine tank after i dipped and inspected them thoroughly. They are just under three stunners right now but I plan to move a couple of them up to the display today.

Yup...4 of the in the display now. Having a few lighting issues. One LED went out in one of my parallel strings and the fuses shortly followed to protect the other LEDS in those strings. Needless to say...changing some fuses and troubleshooting that LED today.

Hey Mark, what's your LED set up? Fuses? Aren't you using constant current drivers? Hope you get it sorted out. LMK if you need assistance, I've got some electrical know how.

Hey Mike, thanks for the offer of help...I might take you up on that sometime. If you take a look early in my build...this DIY light uses some big drivers and I chose to do parallel strings so resistors and fuses were needed...and they worked well...I hope. Didn't end up fixing the light yet...there are still more than enough lights there to cook whatever is in the tank so I've delayed till the weekend.
