New A.G.E. 40x28x22 Pic intense

Sounds like you have the science down. Nice work.

 

Thanks RS, I was worried about having to test and test, but after awhile, testing becomes second nature, and it's not as tough as before...

On a side note, my Emperor Angel has decided to eat my acans and scoly's, so I had to order a small TruVu acrylic nano tank, which I will house all my LPS in, maybe some encrusting montis too. I will have my Geisseman 150W lighting it, and a MP10 for flow;D

 

funny that you just posted this... there was a thread on angels for the majority of em not being reef safe.

Good luck on the new tank that your gonna setup.

 

The Emperor will be fine in a 100% SPS tank, which I will have once that new tank shows up...Until then, I have to put the LPS in my sump...LOL, just caught him taking bites out of my Alien Eye Chalice colony...

 

After over a week of testing, and dosing, I felt comfortable enough to build a rack for my dosing setup and jugs. I had some black 3/4" cell cast laying around, so I ran over to tap to have them cut it to size. I wanted something that would contain the whole dosing setup. I drilled and tapped in a hose bulkhead on each jug top. I then ran a rigid tube around an 1" off the bottom of the jug.

Hear is a top down of the stand, showing the dosing pump's very user friendly screen.

Here is the backside, showing how I could mount the power supply under the stand.

And finally in the stand. I also made a tubing mount and glued it to the sump, this way I make sure I don't have a cluster of tubing, and I can control where the solution is dosed.


I feel so confident about this setup, that I traded Lapsan at BAR my CaRx for a 3 month old dosing pump. I'm going to use it on my new nano, to make daily waterchanges. I should be able to keep my levels in check, as well as avoid having to dose, for quite awhile. That Nano is going to be totally pimped out

 

Nice work, man!

 

Thanks
New FTS with only SPS corals

 

Looking good as usual! I always look forward to your pics!!

 

Thanks alot RS.

so I have been contemplating swapping out my rock with new stuff, and today I took that first step. I bought some rock from a guy in my local club, nice porous stuff he got at AC. I took it home and rinsed it out real well, and did a quick build on a sheet of acrylic. The hardest part was removing all the coral. Wow what a pain, I hacked some up pretty bad and wasted a buinch on my old rock. I will give the rocks a few weeks to cycle, then I will do the other Island. I will do it in two parts,so I give the tank a total of 6 weeks to get through the mini cycle I will have. will swap out 1/2 of what I haven't done, and let it soak with new rock for another 2 weeks. Forget the talk, and lets see some pics
I tried to get the same basic look



Man my corals got pissed off waiting for me to glue them to the rock.

And after adding the new rock

 

How's your growth rate going with the T5s?
