Thanks ;)

Just added a bottle of live pods to the system, that should liven things up a bit ;)

Looking awesume so far. The lights look better. What do you think of the Tunze 1073.020 pump so far ? I was thinking of using one for 2 media canisters that I want to hook up, one for carbon & the other for NP Biopellets. Also nice that your doing the profilux set-up in detail. Will you be doing lights, power heads & storm settings etc ?

Hi

The Pump is silent and I really mean silent, low wattage also.

Yep will be reviewing everything, its just time really. I have to make sure I cover all angles and finding the time is not always easy, but I will add another chapter ove the weekend ;)

Aqua-Digital, bravo on the new tank setup! Very clean, stylish, and high tech! Love it!

Nice to see some quality woodworking, and quality tools! (General Tablesaw and a Cadex 23g pin nailer) :mrgreen:

Thanks. I think the cabinet quality speaks for itself ;)

Chris is none heck of a craftsman :)

So hows the system doing ? Did I read somewhere you're having some cloading issues ? Hope all is well.

Hi

Tank doing really well, Yep got the good old bio bloom due to running low nutrient from the start, this is very common. The downside it takes weeks to clear but the upside is you start off with no negative bacterial issues.

When i say cloudy i am not talking like someone has poured a bowl of cream in the tank, just like a few drops of skimmed milk is in there ;) wife does not notice it, but I do, and yes it bugs the hell out of me being a purist, but patience and it will come round.

I picked up a huge center piece powder blue Aco from Ottawa Inverts and also a good sized orange Ecno frag yesterday, pics to follow

Little update for you

All params are at ultra low nutrient, in hindsight this is not always a wonderful thing as you will see I have a suspected Bio Bloom as mentioned in the post above, the upside is the corals are thriving, and my center piece powder blue acro colony is settling in well.

I say bio bloom, it has not been proved, but other than calcium precipitation there is little else the slight cloudy look could be, so its time to sit back enjoy and give it 14 days and then see.

Interestingly my redox is a whopping 474mV !! A sign of the low nutrients. One thing i can prove here is that ProdiBio is amazing at single shot nutrient reduction, if you have nutrient issues you really must try this out, it works!!

The profiLux of course is rock solid, it actually has become a huge value having the full set up so I can do much better live support and test things out myself before providing support.

More later this week.

Dont forget to check out the group buy in the GHL forum under aqua digital ;)

Little update, not all corals i got this weekend can be seen they are tough cookies to take pics of :(

The clip is holding Fauna marin wakame, boy does this stuff expand in the water, so far the tang has ignored it as have all other fish :( I will remove it tonight and try a tiny piece tomorrow.
