debbeach13 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I jumped the gun and put snowflake in the 20 after only 4 days. Big momma AKA Pete was not happy. After a couple hours of relentless chasing I tried to catch the new guy but ended up with the large clown. I rescaped and will try again in a couple days. 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Added a some rock and rescaped. Let mama out of breeder box. Hoping for the best. I try for a better picture after lights are on. The reflection is terrible. 4 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 I am happy to say the clowns now seem to be getting along just fine. Also Charles had another successful molt last night. His last molt was on 8/15. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Long story short. Duo taken off this tank today because of interfering with TV reception. Put the current marine pro back on and it started blinking after a couple hours of being on. It is in a different outlet. I had to unplug it and plug it back it several times to get it to stop. Now it is no where near as bright. So is Mars retrograde or something? My recliner power supply shit the bed a few days ago. Got a new one and working great so far. Or maybe the wiring in my house is screwed! Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Sounds like spooky wiring to me... Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Maybe. All other tank equipment is working fine and since unplugging the duo the tv is fine. The tank and TV are next to each other and the outlets are on the same wall so probably connected. I plugged the duo in without the timer and it seems to be fine no more interference. Now if I can just figure out the orbit. 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Well the current fixture is not working correctly. Probably the transformer. It about 7 years old. The Duo is plug in for on and unplug for off. The picture is just the current on. So a nano-reef Orbit IC LED light and E-flux pump with Loop IR control. 24-36 inch Pro dual has been ordered. 3 Quote Link to comment

I thought about upgrading about a month ago. WV 12 gallon long and dirty is also running them and says absolutely happy with them. I just was not interested in the blue tooth operating with my phone. But the current USA site had this version so I did it. 2 Quote Link to comment

I ran mine on a 20g WaterBox with two sunblaster T5s and loved them! Also I liked the little eflux pumps as well so having everything synced was cool. 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 I know. I was getting frustrated between 1 fixture, 2 fixtures, blue tooth, wifi, and all the hubs. I will most likely be happy with this simple version. I only have soft and LPS corals so it should be good. I almost got a couple brackets but can always change to those later. For now the fixtures sitting on the tank will help me keep my hands out of there. 2 Quote Link to comment

growsomething Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Haven't seen a molt from my emerald or my anemone crab yet. Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 I have had it for months and as far as a know this is the first one. Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) New light came on about 15 minutes ago. Testing it out. It arrived yesterday late afternoon. I didn’t hook up the pump yet or adjust the color spectrum. I haven’t even mounted the light hub. Edited September 13, 2020 by debbeach13 4 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 So as you can see for now I removed the screen and put my old glass lid back on. This morning I turned the whites down to 65%. Yesterday it seemed very bright and with two fixtured I didn't want to fry everything. I have pictures on my phone from yesterday so I will post a couple and take some today after lights on to compare. 3 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 I did a WC yesterday and I think I dropped a tiny suction cup for a little pump in the tank with the new water. This morning I tried to find it. I was not successful. I ended up moving things around and stirred up the sand. I hope it doesn’t cause a spike in parameters. It did yield some manual pest removal. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is that a spaghetti worm at the bottom? Good catch. Think I have one bothering my zoa. Looks like hydra with more blackworm-like appendages waving around than the one in your pic. Some zoa are growing algae on them they've closed so long. Actually, I think they're neat, but just in the sand, not causing coral death. 1 Quote Link to comment
