  1. Great job with the rock work there! Those are lucky clown fishes!

     

     I would really like to see the monti's cover that board. Keep the pics coming please.

     

    Thanks! There are actually two other damsels in the tank as well, but the clowns def rule the tank 

  2. The newest addition to the family is an Innovative Marine 30L. I just completed building the stock stand over the weekend. Terms of quality I expected a little bit more from IM. The stand is slightly misaligned in some areas. Also, I was missing a couple screws that required me to make a trip out to HD. I will be utilizing as many equipment as I can from my IM SR80. The tank will be sitting in my master bedroom sitting area. I will probably be doing a starboard bottom mix reef. 

     

    Planned Equipment:

    Cutting board

    Aqua Gadget Hydro ATO

    Ghost Skimmer Midsize

    2 return pump with 476 GPH 

    Aqua Gadget Midsize media reactor

    BRS Doser 1.1mL

    Trigger reservoir 10G

    2 vega lights

    Apex

     

     

    First pic :)

  3. How about an update?! I bet this is looking really good!

    Not much going on so far. Both of the anthias didn't make it. They rather starve to death then stay in my tank :/ They have been replaced with fast eating Midas blenny and Fairy Wrasse. 

     

    I will try to take some pics soon. 

     

     

    Great aquacape!!!

     

    Thank you very much.

  4. For the Feeder I have these lines of code

     

    OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON

    If Time 00:00 to 11:00 Then OFF

    If Time 11:04 to 15:00 Then OFF

    If Time 15:04 to 00:00 Then OFF

    If FeedC 000 Then ON

    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    If FeedB 000 Then OFF

    If Outlet EmailAlm_I5 = ON Then OFF

    If Power EB8_3 Off 003 Then OFF

     

     

     

     

     

  5. I have this code for return pump, power heads and skimmer, which turns the pump off whenever the feeder is activated regardless of Feed A-D and waits 8min then turn on.

     

    If Outlet Feeder_5_1 = ON

    Defer 008:00 Then ON

     

     

    I also have this code to activate the turn off if I run FeedC, which is associate to my feeder.

     

    If FeedC 000 Then OFF

     

     

     

     

  6. For redundancy I also have this code for my return pump as well, which turns the pump off whenever the feeder is activated regardless of Feed A-D and waits 8min then turn on.

     

    If Outlet Feeder_5_1 = ON Then OFF

    Defer 008:00 Then ON

     

     

     

  7. It feels good not accepting "Not possible" from Aquaillumination and my sub-conscience. After multiple exploration on various method it was finally possible. Now I feel confident that I can grow anything anywhere in my tank :)

     

     

     

  8. That's a tough comparison.The avast top down is $40, a nice macro is around $300 used. Neither one will make your pictures better without practice, and all though they both help with photography, they have two very different uses.It's like asking if you should buy a capo, or the strings...

    Completely agree practice makes it perfect.

     

    BTW your DIY challenge is now a success thanks to the help of Bob AKA rtsusc83

  9. I just picked up the Red Sea Pro and love it compared to the Salifert test kits, especially Calcium. Note MG is kinda a pain. There are more fluids and stirring than the CA and Alk test.

     

     

     

  10. I use that light as accent lighting in my rsm. I doubt it can have any use for chaeto.

    Thanks for the info. I think I found the perfect alternative... SteveT inTank 10w single LED. Hopefully it lives up to all the good review.

     

     

     

  11. I found one in my tank the other day and google it. Mine was trying to spawn as it was blowing puffs of white cloud in the water. I hear they are good as well. Too bad mine is the lone star in the tank.

  12. I see now. I though the color temperatures had to be at least 6000k-6500k. Good thing I asked before buying :)

    I am looking for a submersible LED to put in the back of my AIO. If anyone has any recommendations let me know.

    How about this one? Link
