Twin 55 gal tank build ( NEW PICTURES )

Sweet DIY video HGC..very well put together..

 

very cool.

 

Totaly awsome pop!!!! Love the video and cant wait to get my moon light in the mail. A++++

 

Ok a few new pictures first off frag plugs, got all the bugs worked out of my molds a small piece of paper rolled up keeps the stems from sticking in the mold and makes removal easer, and yes the mold can be reused as many times as you like.





and then on to the moon lights, took a few snap shots the pictures don't really do it justice.

 

MAN YOU GOT THE DIY GEARS IN OVER DRIVE!!!!!

 

new frag plugs

For those that have been following my build thread, you have seen the new frag plugs iv been working on for my frag tank, so i thought id do a small video on how i done it. ;D

 

Awsome video dad can't wait to get a couple in the mail

 

Something new i am trying out, since i have installed my new lighting fixtures and made a few changes in control central, ;D is working with a 4 stage lighting plan. to more simulate nature, is to set up my lights to come on and go off in stages.

moon lights.....off...8:00 am

420 Actinic......on....8:00 am

460 Actinic......on....9:00 am

k 10 daylight...on...10:00 am

k 10 daylight...off....6:00 pm

460 Actinic......off....7:00 pm

420 Actinic......off....8:00 pm

moon lights.....on....8:00 pm


Hope this makes sense, moon lights go out in the morning and it gradually gets lighter with it being brightest over the mid day hours then gradually gets dimmer till the moon lights come on for the night.

Not sure it will make much difference in coral growth but it sure looks cool.....8)

 

Keeps us updated. I would like to no how it works. Sounds like a cool setup..

 

Thanks for info on the DIY frag plugs. That lighting schedule sounds cool.
