My piece of the Reef - the new build continues!

Thanks ofk the golds don't show up. It's awesome

 

Tomorrow major service call!
Swapping out 30 frag tank to 60 rimless
Swapping calcium reactor out for larger capacity
Breaking down skimmer for large cleaning (over due)
Swapping out Kessils for AI hydras so I can program sunrise and sunsets

 

Yea you can say that's a little major but I love how everything is looking so good.

 

awesome news!

 

Did not get as much done as I thought. Skimmer broken down, retreaded union that had some salt creep, cleaned out thoroughly and hooked back up.Swapped out the 2 Kessils for Hydras on the DT, the Hydras will go on the 225 when ready. Kessils sold same day
Cleaned all wet sides in vinegar, changed GFO and Carbon. 60 gallon water change.

Moved a few of my nicer new frags to the DT. I dont use frag plugs on them anymore, i busted up some live rock and glued the frags to them and then glued the rubble to a piece of rock in the DT, this way it can start to encrust and when I make the move I can move them easier.

Also sold my Large RBTA as it was almost 12" open and wrecking havoc on some of my corals. will add a smaller one.

Still need to hook up my 60 and swap calcium reactor out.

Of yeah bought a 57 watt UV with the money from the Kessil sale. Merry Christmas to me!

 

So after all weekend of trying to get the hydras to come next to the AWM I bought a director. Everything I can tell or read says I need to update firmware in the lights. Ugh. Well as long as I can get them programed all is good. I ran them manual yesterday but it's to much intensity so I will only run the t5 until director delivers. Hopefully tomorrow

 

That gold chalice is really nice. I tried one last month but it didn't make it. I hope yours fair better than mine did.

 

Sorry to hear yours did not make it. So far this is doing good. Colors are off the hook.

 

I was pretty bummed. It was grown under led lights so I'm wondering if my halides had something to do with it. It's one amazing piece for sure.

 

Yes Def could have played a role. I keep mine on the bottom of the tank.
