Biocube's Build Thread, Tank teardown 1/6/14

Thanks, I really regret getting a frag of those Cloves. But from what I read they help control Nitrates and so far mine Nitrates are at zero.

I might keep them if they don't harm anyone if not Kalk paste for the win.

 

Look what came today, can't wait to set this bad boy up.

 

cool let us know

 

Well I just got it installed and synced, only took about 5 min to get everything setup. I just need to program some profiles and I'll be set.

Here are some profiles I plan to set:
*Nutrient Transport
*Night
*Feed
*Tidal Swell (For Storm Simulation)

 

Well tonight I decided to ditch my plug and play boards and solder each LED in series. I am doing this to get extra space on my heat sink for more LEDs and a much cleaner look.

My project starts in the afternoon, I hope to have everything completed in about 2 hours.

 

Made some more space for more LEDs, I plan to have full spectrum by the end of next week.

Here's a before and after shot:




Sadly I lost 3 LEDs to metal screws creating a short, I was able to get the light up and running but with a little less LEDs.

Here's what it looks like now, should be a little brighter on the right side next week.

 

I'm pretty sure your polyps are Sympodium sp. I have it all over my tank as well.. IME it loses to everything.. I have watched a fingertip piece of monti and same on an acro that was just a frag that had managed to throw down a little encrusting before I moved it and in both cases they pushed the sympodium out of the way like it wasn't even there.

 

Post a pic please, everywhere I look I see purple clove seems to be an exact match.

 

Check it.. this one is in my tank... Under this Tyree glowing fingers
