I'll get one up soon!

@ the 13:00 mark https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s6_p5OoMAV0 I hope i'll be able to connect my SQ-520 to the Bluetooth dongle. That'll be nice!!!

Growth in my PAX-Bellum ARID has started to slow down. I figure my carnivorous diet for my eel and clown is high in protein nitrogen and low in phosphorus, which in turn gives me zero phosphates(Salifert) but nitrates remain at my desired 5ppm by dosing NO3/Molybdenum. I'll probably have to start dosing phosphorus(ELOS Fosfato supplement) or add a few herbivores and feed veggie rich foods to achieve at least .02ppm But one thing is for sure. I haven't needed to clean the glass in over two months and algae in my tank is neither here nor there.

Here's an image of measurement charts/graphs from myGHL cloud, mobile. (Measurements from my bench test system)

I contacted Brian from Reefwisesales.com. He has all kinds of rare eels(No golden dwarfs at the moment).

A golden dwarf moray eel seems to be a peaceful reef dweller. They're quite small and it doesn't bother my 1" Picasso Clownfish. I'm waiting for my second one to arrive soon!

Indeed and here's the dwarf eel at day of acceptance.

You can run the proprietary GHL Control Center software on a Windows OS tablet. Here are a few tutorial by GHL USA, functions of GHL Control Center. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXOE8KkEuX_oDKMCph9GwPA

Absolutely ! Cloud service MyGHL will allow you to access just about every function of the ProfiLux 4. iOS App, Coming soon! Built-In Webserver, coming soon! Except for the following: Configuring a Vortech Pump via a Vortech Controller Preforming Firmware updates, coming soon! Examples! Override, Assign Controllable Sockets. Modify dosing schedules and dosages Sensor data Assign a Timer You can do a number things from the ProfiLux display, calibrate probes, initiate Feed Pause/Maintenance Mode, create a Virtual Sensor. The Touch is simply a step above the main display of the ProfiLux 4. Each Powerbar 5.1 has a single socket that can be configured as a Switchable Socket or a Dimmable Socket(Ballasts of some luminaire fixtures allow for AC voltage dimming). Each additional Powerbar added to the system will need to be manually assigned and numbering each Socket. Say- You have two Powerbars.. Powerbar #1 needs to be assigned by 1-5, Powerbar #2 assigned sockets 6-10. Inputs for 0-10v Interfaces are present on the back of the ProfiLux computer, Yellow Interface connections. BTW.. All 0-10v controllable devices power supply are not required to be connected to a Powerbar. You can plug them directly into a regular outlet power strip. Let me know if you'd like to see anything in particular.

madweazl, Instead of giving you a simple answer. I can answer all of your questions later tonight and follow up with detailed images. I'll touch on GHL's MyGHL Cloud Service and the PC Application.

Brief update regarding the ARID reactor by PAX-Bellum. Photoperiod, reverse light schedule. System test results.. 07/12/17 Nitrate - Undetectable Phosphate - Undetectable Began dosing Nitrate supplements, dosed 4ml Nitrate = 1.0ppm for my volume of seawater. System test results.. 07/13/17 Nitrate test sample value confirmed Nitrate value of 1.0ppm. Phosphate - Undetectable System test results.. 07/14/17 Skipped, no testing. System test results.. 07/15/17 Test sample revealed a value of .02ppm. Phosphate - Undetectable Dosed 3.5ml Nitrate I'll continue to dose Nitrates until I have a greater source of nutrients, fish and heavy feeding.

Good to see Paul is still around. I visited his first(?) shop Aquarium One quite frequently.

Follow up.. My Pax-Bellum ARID Reactor will be online this coming Wednesday. I don't have much of a source for nutrients just yet, so i'll dose the included Nitrate/Molybdenum supplements to keep my Chaeto from starving. If the retail price is still a factor for not owning one. Pax-Bellum will be introducing "Lower cost" ARID Reactors at this years MACNA!

Inbound corals from Reefwise.com I think i did alright with my initial coral purchase. I'm trying to inhabit everything from Indo-Pacific/Australia.

Mounted a PropellerBreeze to my system last Friday and i am more than satisfied with its ability to keep my temperature at a constant 78 degrees, even when the ambient temperature reaches up to 88 degrees(Room receives a lot of natural sunlight durning mid day). Started dosing phytoplankton five days ago and added Algae Barns three species pod mix. The algae reactor will go on-line later this week and a few trochus snails will be added to aid the stomatella snails with the diatom cleanup.

I find it fascinating to watch the activity of crustaceans. The plan for my system is to create a natural ecosystem with an array of thriving crustaceans for nutrient recycling. They are starting to structure a extracellular polymeric substances on the substrate in high flow areas.

Moving into the end of day 2.. Ammonia, Nitrite, Phosphate undetectable by Salifert tests. I have a Nitrate kit coming by the end of the week. Tank continues to show an array of copepods, however. I have a order of Algae Barns 5280 combo pack coming to introduce my initial CUC.

Yesterday morning, had a five hour round trip to pickup 36 pounds of Real Reef and 1 pound of cultured live sand. The rock and sand where personally picked from Dr. Mac's grow out systems. I am truly impressed by the quality of this rock. It reminds me of the imported rocks that were collected from the reef before the ban.. I have yet to actually start aquascaping, but i kind of like how i have arranged the rock so far. I saw amphipods and stomatella snails this morning ! Quick iPhone shot..

Tropic Eden tonga reeflakes sand is in ! Starting to add rodi water to the tank tonight. I'm planning a trip to Dr. Mac's Pacific East Aquaculture to pickup 30 or so pounds of real reef rock and a few pounds of cultured live sand.

Acquired a 10 gallon polyethylene tank to use as my freshwater ATO reservoir. installed a 1/4" bulkhead for 1/4" tubing to allow my GHL Doser 2 to draw freshwater from the reservoir. Added a compression fitting in case i decide to utilize a float sensor within the reservoir, but that may not be necessary.. The doser will actually calculate the amount of water being dosed and will inform me whenever the water volume decreases by assigning a below minimum volume. I need more stickers !!!!

As i am getting closer to actually seeing something inside of my tank. I need to consider which top down camera box to get for my camera. I do ! The Barrel Tender v2 works in tandem with my 3rd gen ProfiLux controller and on-demand saltwater mixing. Ha! More simplified than NaCI free sea salt.. Before i took a break from the hobby. I had good results with the Balling Method back in early 2015, which i had received a generous shipment of these salts for being an early adopter of the GHL Doser 2. I figured why not continue the success. There's not much to it (Initial shipments to the US had a misprint for component C)

Any day now !? And while.. Balling Method Dosing - Filling station - Minimum four(4) months worth of each component for my specific system, 2 gallons each. I'll also add Tropic Marin Cations and Anions trace elements.

Hopefully it'll be ready in time for Frag Fest ! Either way.. LFS hopping during that time.
