TheCurriculum Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Pico works for me. Thanks Quote Link to comment
TheCurriculum Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Perfect way to wrap up a build thread . Left alone unattended for 4 days ... everything spot on . No cycle just adding the live sand . Good sh1t . My LR is years old and fulll of happy healthy life so that won't spike anything. Auto top off 4 days sucked up probably 2.5 cups of water by the auto topoff ... so will need a gallon for my week off 9 days ... For a risk on a cheap topoff I have no complaints works as advertised and super small magnet held sensor is tight enough that a bump will not move it. Issue Need to find a better solution for mounting the incoming hose to the tank.... Betta falls Holy sh1t it worked 💪 😆 🤣 😂 ❤ Almost 0 salt creep after 7 days ... Stocking Open brain tachy arrives today !!! Give it a few days than transfer some shroom . Than a week and add bubble tips or screw it and bring it all .. shrug 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 If your still looking for a container for the ATO. I use a 32cup plastic cereal container. Got it at Wal-Mart for around $6.00 it has a flip top lid. I cut a small small hole to run the hose and plug wire through just using an exacto knife and use the lid to refill with fresh water. Your set up is progressing nicely. Getting excited to see the additions. 4 Quote Link to comment
TheCurriculum Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Good call on top off ! Ok my brain arrived... they either shipped the wrong one (suppose to be blue) or stress from shipping ? Came with a free bonus frag .... Can someone please identify the bonus coral... Will start up the journal probably tonight Side note. Didn't realize the light has built in 30 minute sun rise and sunset. So set for 6:30 AM on and it ramps up to full at 7 AM..than a 30 min sunset at off time ... Quick vid of tank YouTube betta falls first coral 4 Quote Link to comment
TheCurriculum Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 It is the blue . With just actinic on the blue is popping more ... all good. No mater what I luv the look of it Now last question. It's on a frag plug with long ass stem . What is the best way to break that off or cut off . May just bring a hack saw blade and do it by hand tomorrow They replied back and that is an acan coral 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I hate frag plugs and remove the coral from them and attach to some rubble or an empty shell. Quote Link to comment
LazyFish Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I usualy pop them off with a knife. If its encrusted or I cant pry it loose without hurting it for whatever reason I use some chunky garden shears to snap it off as close to the plug as I can. Intresting acan... almost looks bouncing? Oh wow it might be bouncing. I just looked it up aparently its a thing. Bouncing acans...who knew?.....I want one! lol Quote Link to comment
empresto Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I have a bone cutter that came in my brs fragging kit that works a treat to pop of frag plug stems and reshape round plugs into more natural shapes. Kind of looks like a wire cutter, but much beefier. Those corals look amazing! Loving how the tank is coming together for you. Quote Link to comment
TheCurriculum Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Was away from work for a while. Tank is doing fine, salt creep within acceptable creep factor. The brain is going to come home as my home tank cracked and I have a new custom from lfs. Making a spot just for him. Still haven't ordered snails but everything doing OK. Will grab a pic at some point . Merry Christmas all 5 Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I really like this a lot! This came out way better than I thought it would. I think it will be really nice if you had a light like an AI Prime or Kessel oma gooseneck. Would be cool to make each little cube a different ecosystem that contributes as a whole. Like the last cube could be a macro garden that will export nutrients, serve as a refugium/planted tank to maintain a pod population that will help keep the tanks clean and help feed the system a little. Another cube could be a tiny fish with some live rock and some softies. The 3rd cube could be lps and some sexy shrimp. Quote Link to comment
