LED build failed. Those stab connectors aren't very good at making contact. Going to have to try to find my 25 year old soldering iron and do it like a boss.
Rock came today from Eli. Can't say I've ever been excited to receive a box of rocks before! 22 lbs Pukani, 35 lbs Branch, Thanks Eli! https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8619/...418565e9_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8570/...28f8446e_b.jpg |

Glad you received it well.Now have fun putting it all back together like the video or close to remember don't get frustrated just enjoy it as I told you earlier your setup is the most elaborate aquascape...the heat is on:biggrin: How did the FijiCrete make it hope with no punctures. |
Dem's some wild lookin' rocks

Do you think it would be possible to use a Dremmel to shape the pukani, or just a chisel and mallet? Quote:

You can use any tool with a sharp end but to do a precise job and a dremel is available I would say yes its the tool for the job. |
All in all I think the baths went quite well as all the rock came out very white!
Bleach: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7463/...eec55b69_b.jpg Acid: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7562/...2e3f5cb9_b.jpg Soaking it in freshwater overnight and will begin drying tomorrow. |
Rocks are drying but I can still smell a little bleach. Is this normal? Should I rinse them again? Any insight would be helpful.
Met tang daddy at J&L and picked up a Vertex Libra from him. Deal included 3 dosing vessels that I was sure would not fit in my stand. Got home and lo and behold they just squeezed in... Yay! Thanks Chris! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7564/...e006683d_b.jpg Seems I can't stop in at J&L without buying something... ended up coming home with an Apex Lab grade system. Need to do a leak test on the entire system next. Been dreading it, but I'm sure everything will turn out ok. Thanks for looking. |
Warren, system is coming along nice man. Glad to see the doser actually fit!

Finally got around to finishing the LED utility lighting properly. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8598/...3ac4838e_c.jpg Here's tang daddy's Libra doser installed along with the LED lights. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7543/...fa3cc310_b.jpg Colours don't show up great on my camera (Nikon Coolpix L120) but you get the idea. I should try playing around with the white balance I guess. Wire management is one of the next jobs. Also, a full leak test is scheduled for this coming weekend then it's on to aquascaping with the rock. The only major purchase left is the lighting. Still undecided on 2 Kessil A360's, or a Hamilton Tech 6x39w T5. Thanks for looking. Comments/input welcome! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7476/...fce1dfa8_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7509/...dd8b62f4_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7546/...587ec862_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7503/...b7f461f8_b.jpg |
Whoa. I want!
