Grim's 210g (Final update.)

I'm actually a bit timid about this one... I hope it dials in smoothly

I have heard nothing but great things about them. I hope to make it through the dialing in process smoothly.


This cole parmer pump is even more overkill than the reactor!

 

I also took a new video of the reef.

lol you have a lobster?!?! Does it cause any issues?

 

He's a bastard. But I love him! I have had him for about 3 years now!! He's constantly rearranging unglued smaller things on the sand bed. But he always gets a great reaction out of visitors and isn't enough of a pain to worry about. I have heard that the purple ones are more aggressive. I would add another if/when he dies.

 

Nice thanks for the no nonsense response.

 

Growth shots!

That little brown piece I moved and is here now! It's the purple piece on top of this pic and growing now!

 

I'm going to get a Seney from OCreef.com!! I agreed to do a write-up and review of it.

I'm very interested in the lighting aspects of it in particular. With my new supplements, I think this will really help me have more insight to how light I actually need. I think I may have been pushing my lights a little to high.

This will also help give me a back up measurements to my Apex and additional water quality info.



Seneye Reef monitors all of the following: (from the ocreef webpage)

Temperature - constantly monitors water temperature, so you can get an alert if your heater breaks or your chiller fails.
Free Ammonia - monitors the highly toxic free ammonia (NH3) at very low levels, so you can stop your fish from dying from Ammonia posioning.
pH - the seneye monitors pH in your aquarium between 6.4 and 9. This range is ideal for most aquatic life and by focusing on this range increased accuracy has be achieved.
Water Level - readings are only taken when the seneye device is in water, no false readings.
LUX - monitors ambient LUX and can be used to take direct LUX readings, understand how your light degrade over time.
Kelvin - understand where on the kelvin range your lights are and how light can change over time.
PAR - monitor the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), understand if you have the correct quanity and quality of light for your corals or plants.

 

Beautiful tank and corals, gorgeous lobster
