Grim's 210g (Final update.)

That is some amazing progress needless to say. I love looking at pics from months apart.

 

Ok, turn of events! Through my searching for answers to my wiring issues I found someone who does custom work. I am having 3 24" light bars built with all Cree top bin 3RB, 3UV, 3red, 3green each. Inventronics drivers. I'm going to sell the half completed project to someone in my reef club that wants to use it with his Radions!

The company is Reef Breeders. Lets hope for the best! And if it doesn't work.. I'm done searching. I'm going to just leave it alone. I can't keep wasting money on this from my improper planning... Luckily I have been able to repurpose or sell most everything I have bought for this project. The vho/t5 project I only lost the money on 2 reflectors I was able to return the rest for full credit! The LED project I'm out $100 of what I spent, a frag pack of my acros, and the time I worked on it... so all in all, I'm not out too bad.

 

This has been a big day for me and the tank... especially considerign that I am out of town!!

My LFS came to service my tank while I am away. I wanted them to do the basic stuff, and check the inhabitants. They are AWESOME!

Anyhow... they are convinced I have black bugs on my Montipora... I have noticed some issues specifically with my Montis and they now confirmed my pest... I was suggested Interceptor... so I have to start research now.. Any advice?

 

Interceptor Treatment is going well!! Just performed about 55-60 gallons of water change and added about 3 cups of carbon (rox) in each side of my BRS carbon/gfo reactor.

Ohh yeah. Look what's almost finished.. This trade definitely worked out better for me!! Reefbreeders is awesome!!! Great communication and price! I can't wait to get my hands on them and mount them! Should be over the tank by next weekend!

 

Looking really promising Grim (at last lol)! Cant wait till it's up and running over your tank!

 

I know... I know.. It's ridiculous. But finally incoming! And what I really wanted to start with. Red, green, royal blue and violet, 3 each per 24"x1.75" heatsink. All 60 degree optics, all cree top bin leds on inventronics (not sure of model) driver. Should be freaking sweet! They guy said he put it over his tank just to look and it made his corals pop big time.

 

Took some new pics today. Nothing major. Just a few FTS.











My messy sump... I'm getting some help with replumbing it and cleaning it up soon. I'm also going to pull the 40b out of line and seperate it. I'm going to use my 30g as the sump and have my auto water change system change into this system. That way I'll swap about 80g of water from my main display through my QT/frag tank and maintain parameters that way. I'll use an algae scrubber for nutrient control in addition to the w/c. I'm not going to get a worse invader next time!

 

Lots of colors, I love it!!

Hate to say, Grim, but you're running out of space for any more corals! (I think you should send some to my way?)

 

The FTS is amazing in itself. I'm glad your treatments are working as well.

 

I know! It's a bit crowded! I'm going to trim out some of my less miraculous pieces and possibly replace the large red plate on the top left as you look at the tank with a nice big purple one.

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! It was definitely an easy treatment overall!
