negative... just going to pull the 2 branches on either side and remove the top layer and work from there.

 

I want to keep everything in the middle, don't want to lay anything on the side glass...

 

We'll see how it goes.

 

Want to come over and help give adivce? LOL

Big THANKS to pablom617 for coming over last night and helping me do my new scape. It looks amazing with some much more spots to add corals and different levels. The fish seem to love it as well as they have even more caves and tunnels to go through. Thanks again pablom617.

 

Here are some pics of the new scape. They aren't the greatest (iPhone) I'll take more this weekened.

Sadly, these pictures do it no justice...

 

 

Looks great man! I had a blast working on it, thanks for having me over.

 

Hey maybe when you have some free time we can shoot it with the DSLR so we can do it more justice :)

LOL, I hope so. Tomorrow should be fun, setting up the RKL with the additional PC4 and hooking up the fan and heater to it as well as the return pumps.

 

This is what I am thinking for the PC4s

 

PC4(1)

Moonlight

Atinic

Daylight

Fan

 

PC4(2)

Pump 1

Pump 2

Heater

Reserve for ATO or MP10

 

I'll go buy am additional timer that I can have on my surge protector for the JBJ Nano Glo

So a few updates from over the weekend...

 

Again with the help of pablo617 the following was accomplished:

 

RKL and bith PC4s were properly mounted in stand and cords were finally somewhat organized. RKL is running everything but the fuge lights, decided to just get a manual timer for that.

 

Using the standby mode is so much easier than having to unplug the wavemaker. Haven't decided if I want to use the wavemaker on the RKL. I think I will be better off using the eventual MP10 that I will be buying and having enough flow with that and the 2 returns on at the same time.

 

On to the sexy stuff:

 

Picked up the following SPS from SouthFlorida_Tron

•ORA Bird's Nest

•ORA Bird of Paradise

•ORA Orange Montipora Digitata

•ORA Green Millepora

 

And got a Candycane frag with 5 heads from pablo617

 

Super happy with the purchase! I'll have pics of the new corals in a few days once they have fully acclimated to the new environment.

BTW SouthFlorida_Tron's tank is insane, TOTM is in his near future!

Few updates:

 

New equipment:

•Ecotech MP10wES

•Tunze Osmolator

 

New Corals:

•Purple tip Hammer/Frogspawn hybrid

•Florida Orange Ricordia

•Daisy Coral

 

I'm switching out the ChemiPure ELite for BRS Carbon and GFO.

 

With the addition to the ATO, I'll be mixing in BRS Kalk as I have been having issues with my pH and Alkalinity being too low.
