Tbone675 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 the upgrade is still coming alone. slow but sure. finished welding the stand up yesterday. going to get it to the cabinet maker this week. when i get it back i can start taking measurements and get some more equipment together. i am contemplating the idea of a display fuge in the stand. i ordered a apex lite with ph probe today. i want my heater on a controller for safety.

Spirofucci Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Dude, you are long overdue for the full monty update!!! Do you still have your Radion on natural mode? Link to comment
Tbone675 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 i know im overdue. i have switched to artificial mode. i have not noticed too much in coloration in the sps but the look is more aesthetically pleasing. however i did get a little too courageous with the intensity and bunt the tips of my green birds nest. i have turned the radion down and the bird nest is slowly starting to recover. that is also why i have not posted pics ive been a little embarrassed i fried my sps. (because it is not my first time doing it lol) i have company coming over this weekend so i will have to get the tank looking good. ill snap some pics when i do. Link to comment

Traggs Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The zoa's . The rics . The whole thang . Georgous. How did you get the zoa colonies on your back wall like that? Great progress btw. Link to comment

Deleted User 4 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wow, the back has grown soo much. Nice! Link to comment
latteslave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Great looking tank. I like the zoa growth on the back wall... You have done a great job on design and the growth is awesome. arkayology has a radion over his as well... Fantastic color - if you are not seeing the coloration you want, shoot him a pm for settings and height. I am sure he would share. Link to comment
Tbone675 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 my sps has more color than the photo shows. my new phone washes out the leds pretty bad. i got my new apex lite installed. it is a really cool tool. my temp is super stable now. 77.5-78. another cool bit of info is the ph. i can now see graphically how the alk affects the ph. i was dripping in 20ml at 11 pm all at once. and you can see how big the spike is and how fast it drops off. now i have created a timer that will add 4ml 5 times through the night to try to keep the ph from dipping so far down at night. a controller is defiantly one of those things if you never had you wouldn't miss but once you have one you wont run another reef with out it. i just ordered the ato add on for the apex so i can run everything off the apex. its so nice to be able to pop your tank up on your smartphone and see what is happening while you are away.

Tbone675 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 you can notice that every hump before the dosing spike is steadily increasing that is because my doser was unplugged. i dont know how i unplugged it or how long it was off for but when i tested 3 days ago alk it was below 6. now alk is up to 8 and the ph is steadily rising with every cycle. im interested to see where it levels out at.
