the radions are a superior fixture to the sol or vega. the sol will have a higher par directly under the fixture but the radion will have a higher par over a larger area and a more complete spectrum. Great build and nice comparison.

Beside my lighting dilemma I finally got my Profilux dosing pump hooked up and running. Thing are growing like crazy now. My alkalinity was quite low causing the calcium levels to be high so after a week of dosing only 10ml a day of alk they are getting close to balanced. The corals have taken off, I have never had such good growth. In keeping with my initial idea of a self contained unit I had my friend Chris (lapdog2020) to build me a new top off/dosing chamber tank.....

Awesome dosing chamber!
|

|
Tank is looking really good dude !
I'm really happy to be apart of your tank build. Enjoy. |
Whats the middle dosing chamber for? Ca?
I'm absolutely loving your setup. So well thought out and clean! Thats what I'm going for in my new build too. |
Sorry missed this one yeah the middle one is calcium.

My lighting dilemma is over I sold all my lights and bought 3 GHL Mitras.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...213_210605.jpg I have to say they are head and shoulders above all the other lights I've owned http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...218_173845.jpg Huge thanks to Ken at BWA for ordering them and putting up with my daily inquiries about them being in yet lol |
I also picked up some new waveline dc5000 return pumps from concept
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...217_204737.jpg Thanks to Denny and Sheldon for bringing them back to e-town for me. |
Jason let me know when your ready to sell the mitras. Haha
|
Wait for it....
|
Seriously tho, those Mitras are kick arse and they indeed appear to be flooding your tank with some major photons! Can't wait for the Mitras pro. :behindsofa:
|
Tank looks awesome!! Lovin the new lights, weeeee bit jealous..:mrgreen:
|
I will trade you 3 AI Sols...you haven't owned those yet lol
|

I love the clean organized electrical station. Good job! |
whoa! That's some tidy job there! Sometimes it pays to be a little OCD I guess LOL. Seriously, if you're bored can you come tidy my electrical? :neutral:
Wait, why do you have two controllers?? |

I need to do something like that with mine! We have a bunch of old cable trays at work that I could put to good use. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD |
Great re-working of the electrical - very clean and organized - I like it!

ATO container v1.3
So after months of using my current at water container, I was having problems with the amount of actual water it held. So after some brainstorming I thought about using acrylic tubes mounted inside my old larger container so I could maximize water capacity but still have my dosing chemicals contained in it..... So after a quick visit to Saco polymers I put these together... http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...psf9b09d27.jpg
They hold just under 2L each and I decided to not attach them to the tank but to leave them mobile for ease of cleaning and refilling. Here they are installed.... http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...psa93200d1.jpg Not a great pic sorry. So my water capacity went from about 5gal to about 30g a much needed increase. |
very nice! i like the clean looks you have
|
Looks classy
|
such a good idea. my ATO reservoir is only 6 gallons and I have to fill it back up every 24hrs or so. sucks!
|
Really nice build but I'd like to see you do something about the light rack it looks like to much metal. Maybe just hang the lights individually
|
Quote:
Thanks for the feedback. It actually looks like way less metal in person. I like it because it gives me flexibility to move, add or god forbid change lights without having to drill any extra holes in the ceiling. |
|
Does that light rail work on various models. Hehe
The first acro is amazing Jason. |
Looking good as always! BTW that yellow tang is doing great over here.
|
Time for a fts since you stocked up
|
|
Looks fantastic
