calvin Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 my moonlight seems to have stopped working. But I'm still really trying to figure out Bluefish so maybe there's another way to get it going. @teenyreef I hear you're good with Bluefish. Got any suggestions for me? Or a link? 1 Quote Link to comment

It's funny, that happened to me just last month and I couldn't figure it out either. Finally I realized that I had the moon simulation mode on and it was "that time of the month". You know, the no moon time. Check under the lighting settings, scroll down to simulation options, and try turning "lunar cycles" off. Or it could just be aliens. 2 Quote Link to comment

It must be aliens because that didn't work for me, but thanks for taking a stab at it 1 Quote Link to comment
duderubble Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's broke. I'll give you $150 for it because I feel bad that you got taken advantage of. 1 Quote Link to comment

Or Spencer actively monitors the Bluefish forum, they should be able to figure it out. Unless it's aliens. 1 Quote Link to comment

calvin Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Updated OP with updated equipment and FTS I'm not entirely happy with the placement in this tank. Will probably rearrange some in a couple of days. 1 Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It looks so good!!! You're a better tank photographer than me, lol. How do you like the flow in there right now? Quote Link to comment

Oh and many thanks to Weetie for holding my snails and macro until my cycle completed 1 Quote Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Those pics are good. Mine are the crappy ones. Looks good! 1 Quote Link to comment
calvin Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think my fave macro is actually the sargassum. They're a great size and not commonly seen. Problem is I have a brown film growing on them and the snails can't really get to it because the sargassum sways too much. I think I may turn off my koralias tonight to make it easier for them.

calvin Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 small updates: I'm getting my first indications of diatoms. The snails are vigorously working. I probably need a few more. I found two nerites on the floor today. I guess I need to keep the top on the tank even though I don't have fish yet... ...but I'm looking over Sustainable Aquatics site right now Quote Link to comment
