The LAST big upgrade

[michika]

Thank you!

Here is the hydra light. It's thinner than the SOLs, and the number of lenses are different, 4 vs. 8. Should be interesting when it goes online considering my SOLs are only at a 48% intensity.













Somebody's going through a growth spurt!

You'll like the Hydras. I ran Sols for a long time and was always looking to supplement for more coral pop. Since I put the Hydras online i'm way happier and i'm betting you will be too. Good choice.

I love how all the fish you bought are together in the picture! Looks great!

I'm dying for UPS to deliver my package today.

They integrated so very well and easily. They all eat and all the zebrasoma tangs follow the new yellow. I'm very happy with them, and they seem pretty pleased with their new home.

So Happy they are in a good home. Those clams are awesome!

Hydra 52 looks good

Thank you. So far I'm very happy with it. One hydra balances out the colour, to the eye, of two SOLs.



Ch-cha-changes!

Top is before.

It's the heights of the left most structure I'm not happy about. It's too forced, and the flow sucks in some spots. But, there are lots of nice places for frags to take hold.

Looks great Catherine!

Thank you!

This mornings view from the couch.



Had to bump the auto feeder up again last week. It keeps the peace and let's me realize my dream of colourful swimming sausages.

I need to add some more sand to my display soon. I'll start with 2 or 3 more bags but I think I'll need 4 when all is said and done.

I think I'm going to bite the bullet on a new calcium reactor too. This manual dosing stuff is a huge PITA as my tank goes through stocking surges and growth spurts. Frankly I'm tired of constantly recalculating my dosing and fiddling with this or that. I'll still dose to fine tune parameters but I need a reactor to set a higher baseline so I don't have to waste so much time and find ways to add more liquids then is needed. I need more stability in my tank's life.

that's an impressive panorama..
