Yeh I didn't drain it except for what drains to the sump when the sump pump is unplugged.

 

Haha slid the whole thing across the floor....seriously gotta love nanos! Sharp lookin' tank I'm seriously looking into getting one of those rw4's now.

Yeh the rw4 is a beast.

Nothing really new to update, but I am excited to see the diatome bloom I had has subsided. I've had an outbreak ever since I moved the tank. I thought it was because the living room had more ambient sun light than the bedroom did but now I'm thinking I stirred up something nasty while moving the tank over. Not sure but the bloom is now over.

Thanks! No I sure don't remeber.

 

Trying out a new light over the fuge.

Doesn't look too bright but then again I'm not a plant. Time will tell.

 

Also started dosing. Sachem Reef Complete, Trace, and Plus. Following the instructions, we'll see how it goes.

It's only been 9 days since switching the fuge light. Wow. Doubled the ball of cheato.

I probably could use a second bulb. It has a very narrow beam. You can see in the pic, the upper ball hasn't grown much at all. Wish I would have taken a before pic. The light is very dim there. Good thing they are only $10 per bulb.

Had to sell off the Ai nano because I dropped the controller into the tank....so I invested the money I would have spent on a new controller to buy a new light.

 

Upgraded to the Current USA Orbit Marine Pro and returned it a few days later and got the Ai Prime instead.

 

Here's the problem with the Orbit....

Yeh just enough to blind you while sitting down in our living room.......

 

Got the prime dialed in to mimic the spectral graph of a radium bulb. We'll see how well it does.

Following along! Looks really nice and I'm curious how you like the Prime!

 

BTW: Can you link to that bulb? I've never heard of a pink fuge light!
