THE Tank Build By Aqua Digital

[Aqua-Digital]

So long time coming an update

Tank now been running a month, live for 3 weeks.

parameters

NO2 =0
NO3 = .01 to.02 depending on how tired my eyes are
PO4 = 0
Ca = 440
DKH = 8
Mg = 1390
Salinity 34PPT
temp = 28
Redox mV = 423mV
pH = 8.01

The tank is doing really well i have not had to scrape the glass once for algea, bio bloom white film yes, but not algea. i am now running ProdiBio for 5 days and the corals are loving it. I would say there is no difference as yet I can report from FM to prodi both are equally good at nutrient reduction, but as i do not have room for a reactor I am sticking with prodi. I also hate daily dosing so prodi wins hands down on that score alone

There is also room to think about mixing and matching products but my tank is way to young to start any fancy reviews like that.

Ok back to the tank.

I got some awesome corals from ottawa inverts, I am lucky to share the same town as pat so have easy access to his huge coral racks. Pat you need more space!!!

Pictures - As you will see below much to many peoples delight the Ai lamp hangers are finished.





I hope this now meets with everyones approval

Here are some tank shots, I apologise now for the quality I am no good at photography at all, but i think you get a good idea how things are coming along.











I will continue with the profiLux tutorial/review later this week.

Did you put your dosing pump on the same shelf as the profilux? or somewhere more accessible to the sump? From the pics it looked like your shelf went straight to the door.

The doser wil go next to the profiLux and holes will be drilled through to accomodate the 1/4 pipes.

I will take pics once installed

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
