That’s gonna be so amazing when you get that travertine covered in coralline. 1 Quote Link to comment

NoOneLikesADryTang Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Do you have coralline growing in your 40? Why not just move something with it on it from that tank to this one? Quote Link to comment

Why not just move something with it on it from that tank to this one? I have rocks with it, but it doesn’t seem to actively grow in either my 40 or the 29. I haven’t ever really had to scrape coralline off the glass. I have the one rock already in the pico with coralline already so it should spread with time. 3 Quote Link to comment

ef4life Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 So I just got home from work, my box from cultivated reef was waiting. The corals are great, but I’m most excited because I got a stomatella snail in as a hitch hiker 😃 my favorite snail and I haven’t had any in years. I’m so excited. 4 2 Quote Link to comment

It’s siliconed in place now. V2 if/when I build one will be removable. Quote Link to comment

Felicia Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Wow, the travertine tile is such a unique material for building the AIO! I love the look and you did such a wonderful job with the craftsmanship! I can't wait to see how this one shapes up. I saw you mentioned you're having issues with the AI prime gooseneck mount. I had the rigid mount for the AI Prime and I've never had an issue with it or ever had to adjust it once it was set. It would be another thing to purchase, but its not too expensive and may save you some headache. https://www.marinedepot.com/aquaillumination-tank-mount-for-prime-led-fixture?gclid=Cj0KCQiAv8PyBRDMARIsAFo4wK07Bbd5QoV5Qgp0rKozHrNS60KCpRCVp27HJ_kSxTBuxQV16uAg-DIaApPgEALw_wcB 1 Quote Link to comment
