This guy is extra salty Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Weekly update: everything seems to be doing fine all of the zoas are fully extended, the RFA returned to the corner it came from. ( I guess the walk about was short) 😂 the macros I got from @inland_reef are growing (or looks like they’re) the dragon burp and blue hypena are sweet additions. Btw I haven’t bothered on testing water parameters in the V2.501 cause of the daily water change coming from the 160g i have noticed a little “browning” of the rocks guessing they’re just going through the ugly stage soon to be lil furry 💩 turds. here is version one of the lid. which I have to redo it, since I finally figured out where the replenishing hose of the AWC is dumping into the tank. I haven’t decided on whether I should do an etching or make it a screened lid. 🤔 finally here it is next to the 160g it is very tiny in comparison. . lets put the blues back on yes I know about the aqua illumination lights party mode and the mini game which is a very cool feature. No seriously try it if you have the application. Ok onto future things i have decided on upgrading the 160g lights. I’m going to be supplementing some T5 either a four bulb or six bulb. Which I will have a total of two AI primehds, two “imitation” radions, and T5’s. But I will be building a canopy out of acrylic to hide all “lights” 8 Quote Link to comment

Something about that blanket of light that hits everything...eager to see the hood you make for this one! 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Well you can just hang it about 8-12” above the water for maximum coverage. the hood will be about 10” tall which the T5’s will be about 9” above the water and the LED combo will be about 8”. I have to dig out an old 4bulb t5 unit which will be taken apart and be made into the Frankenstein fixture. I'm in the process of drawing it on a DXF file so I can have a prototype Monday or Tuesday depending on workload. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Nice storage racks. Are you weirded out by the electrical socket over the laundry tub? Is the RO/DI going above the sink? 1 Quote Link to comment
