BRN Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sorry for lack of updates, been working a lot lately. Tank's doing great, prefect parameters with new corals and fish! (and a bacterial bloom) 11-16-2015 New ORANGE sponge- Orange under white light, pink under light blues, and red under deep royal. excuse the bacterial bloom. Electric Flame Scallop - Him, the feather duster, and sponge are eating oyster feast, currently. The new fish, a bi-colored blenny, hes awesome and picked the perfect "nest" Mini SCOLLY time! My camera doesn't do these guys justice. Rainbow in the front, Dragon eye in the back. Sorry about the focus. Getting a canon 70d soon. TOP DOWN SHOT Excuse the blurry pictures its what i could snap before work, ill take better ones later, and again my camera doesn't do this one justice. Purple, green/blue, and pink acro-with neon green polyps. Link to comment

JR! Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 tbh id leave it out. there isnt much reason to skim that much. the tank isnt that big and water changes do most of the work anyways Link to comment

What do you use to control your lights? Thanks the Radion has a controller built into it, but you can also access it wirelessly with reef link by ecotech marine. its auto-dimmed throughout the day and changes the spectrum actively. tbh id leave it out. there isnt much reason to skim that much. the tank isnt that big and water changes do most of the work anyways Ahh okay, i already carbon dose for low nutrients... filled the top part of the Marine pac 3 with macro algae, mini fug so. many. pods. ermg Link to comment

Its called changing tide aquatics. It's a drive, but his quality and knowledge are unmatched (for me atleast, so far in ohio) its a newer store, hes still expanding. 11/10 would recommend. I'm following Ill try and update more, ive got a shit ton to talk about Carbon dosing results, parameter levels, tank food (now that i own way more then any one human should). Link to comment

BRN Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 So cool little techie update, picked up a few things at walmart, a par 20 led bulb (warm white), bulb adapters, extension cords, a switch for the extension cord, and a christmas tree wireless light controller. I put my return pump for my Marine Pac 3 and my mp10 on a power strip and hooked that strip it to that lighting controller so now when i want to feed, i can cut my pumps with a push of a button- wirelessly-total cost 15 bucks. I also made a refugeium light in the back of my MP3 for algae and pods. I plugged the led bulb into an adapter, so it goes straight from a power cord for a shining par 20. at the start of the cord i added a little on and off switch so i can turn on the fug light without climbing over all of my wires-for stable PH at night. Pictures of the whole setup tomorrow, with future plans! Link to comment
BRN Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I also forgot to add that i picked up a 2 gallon "cookie/biscuit" jar where i will be breeding pods! cool! Link to comment
