Scott's 270g aka Project Mayhem

Scythanith · #1 02-24-2014, 07:18 PM

Things I changed were:

Reduced Mitras light output from 60% to 50% and dropped the 4400K & 6500K spectrums down to 30% (from as high as 70% at noon).

Took bio-pellet reactor completely offline.

Increased flow to GFO & GAC (did not add or replace media, just increased flow).

Did ~20g water change (did another 20g last night but that wouldn't count).

Recently dropped the temperature from 26.0 to 25.7 celsius (may not have contributed since it was done recently).

Started feeding less than a full PE Mysis cube, but added cycploeeze to the mix (Mysis always thawed and rinsed before feeding)/

I recently turned the lights back to the original 60% total power output and restored the white channels to normal. We will see if I get a resurgence of algae. Colby had come over about 10 days back and he had a tough time identifying the algae. He said it lied somewhere between cyano and diatoms. Mindy, I will go and calibrate the meter right now and test again

Cheers,
Scott

That's still 17 ppm too high!

with a system that size consider buying in bulk, that is what I did, expensive up front but it lasts and is always there when you want it

Crap picture but still a nice red Fungi sp.

The space invader is growing well now that it's being fed.

We also moved the freshwater tank back into the basement now that the reno is pretty much done

And here it is in context to the big tank

Please excuse the poor image quality.

so nice an clean.....you really took the time to do things right and it shows. Glad that space invaders is doing well for you. Watch out for those feeder tentacles at night. !
