Great FTS, that's going to grow in really well!

How is the Jebao DC pump working out? What GPH rate is it for what setting you have it at?

Don't really have data on the output curve. But its likely running at about 275gph. Running it lower as my smaller fish don't like too much flow. - Sent using Tapatalk. |
That's what .. 3-4leds? I had my cranked up but dialled it way down after I added the mp10

I think it would be between 3-4 LEDs on the jebao controller. |
Looking good. What camera/lens do you use?

Lost my Crocea clam.
It was fine 2 days ago, then in one day it's was gaping and had detached from the rock. Next day was completely retracted and by the end of the day the CuC cleaned the shell out. Not really sure what happened. All the parameters are fine plenty of light and he looked happy till a few days ago. |

Thats a great pic! Im surprised the acan didn't try to eat him!

Cool little fish. I had a yellow clown goby but traded it after he kept nipping my corals.
|
Yeah they tend to nip SPS

A few updates:
I was never completely happy with the spread on the AI Prime. It would have been good for an 18" area but at 24" long I had too much shadowing on the edges. I could have went with a second Prime but the tank wouldn't have accommodated the 2 mounts well. They would have been closer together than I wanted to avoid interfering with the back mounted sump equipment. A few weeks back I found a deal on a pair of used Kessils A360WE that was too good to pass up. Currently running the pair at 30% on goosenecks. Loving the lighting difference. No shadows, great spectrum, a little less red and green highlights than the Prime, but better UV output. Added a MagRock Jr and rearranged some frags. I really like the look, definitely added some depth to the tank. Should look really good once the rock colours up. Last week I started adding Kalkwasser to my top off water. Parameters appear to be holding steady with a 2 tsp to 2.5 gallon mix. PH is staying up nicely as well. Started noticing some of my Zoas aren't as fully open as I'd like. I think I'm keeping the tank too clean, might need to up my nitrates a bit. |
Added a new fish today. A Hector's Goby.

Got up this morning and noticed my skimmer was overflowing. Checked the water level in the sump section and it was really high, but hasn't quite reached the overflow switch.
Not positive what happened. The only thing I can think off is that the power may have flicked a bunch of times yesterday. When the power flickered it much have been enough to trip the Ozmolater, causing it to dump a little water into the tank every time. The power must've never went out completely because I never did get a power failure e-mail from the Apex. Looks like the ATO was shutoff by the Apex automatically when the PH hit 8.4. Salinity ended up being 1.024 so not too bad. Guess its time to invest in a UPS. |
So its been about 3 weeks since I started noticing my zoas closing up. Since I stopped dosing Nopox my nutrients still haven't registered on the test kit but my Zoas have almost fully recovered.
The new UPS is installed I gotta APC back-ups pro 1000. I finished configuring the apex for power loss and in testing it looks like I get approximately 6 hours runtime. Couple of shots from last night. Layout is still a work in progress, with new frags continuing to come in. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/IMG_0335.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/IMG_0336.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/IMG_0333.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/IMG_0328.jpg |
Tank is looking great. What type/size of sand did you use for your substrate?
|
CaribSea SeaFlor Special Grade
I've used 5-6 different types in the last few years and this is what I settled on. Grain size is 1-2mm. So its small enough that it looks more like sand than crushed coral. I really like the sand look, but like a larger grain size so that it doesn't sandstorm everywhere. This is the only stuff I'll ever use again. |
Awesome thanks. Im upgrading my 30g to a 5.5' peninsula tank and have been trying to find a "fine sand" that wont blow around! :)

I always used to feed my anemone in my larger tanks but I had stopped on this nano for fear of impacting water quality.
The other day I felt a little bad for it so I decided to feed it yesterday (a nice mix of LRS Fish Frenzy and some chopped clam). I woke up this morning to the BTA taking a stroll over my zoa garden, Within about an hour he'd settled into a spot. Funny enough the spot I wanted him in when I setup the tank. Then I realized the reason he'd moved is that it had split. At least it'll keep the Porcelain Crabs happy. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/IMG_0343.jpg |
Nice! I feed mine Fauna Marin's LPS Grow and Colour pellets, keeps the bubble tips nice and bright.

Well, the only thing consistent is change.
Looks like I'm moving to Ottawa. Likely going to have to shutdown. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |
All sold off. Gonna keep the stand pumps lighting and a couple of accessories and maybe setup an IM 25 Lagoon after I move.
