Shoelace November 19, 2014 Author November 19, 2014 Dude, what do you mean getting the hang of it?! Those are GREAT shots. LOL, thanks. So I bought these "extension tubes" that I can add to my prime lenses that change the focal length to basically make a macro lens. It's just figuring out the distance to what place in the tank is a little tricky, but yes, I'm pretty happy I'm getting better.
Shoelace December 7, 2014 Author December 7, 2014 I built my CS-1 and it's running in vinegar. Man, this is kicks out some bubbles. Has anyone noticed that a vinegar solution seems to make more bubbles than your tank water, or perhaps my feed pump is oversized.
Shoelace December 7, 2014 Author December 7, 2014 Finally got around to setting up my dosing pumps, and I'm nervously programming the Apex.
Shoelace December 7, 2014 Author December 7, 2014 Got a great bunch of frags in a trade. Thanks, John! This torch is starting to open up already
John Ford December 8, 2014 December 8, 2014 Your welcome! Im looking forward to some new FTS! Got a great bunch of frags in a trade. Thanks, John! This torch is starting to open up already
Shoelace January 25, 2015 Author January 25, 2015 I have been doing more on the "infrastructure" front for my rebuild. The Avast Marine CS-1 and the Swabbie are running very well now. I installed a Reef Brite Tech and a 8 x 60" ATI SunPower and have been acclimating. My softies are a little unhappy, but I think they will be OK. I also redid a little wiring and reorganized my Apex routing/programming so I'm much happier.

Shoelace January 25, 2015 Author January 25, 2015 Not much to show yet. I think I can finally concentrate on livestock more than the build.
YHSublime January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 Loving the Apex box, is that an Ikea special? I'd like to do something like that next to my next tank.

DuffyGeos January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 Great pics Ed. I love the views from the end. Great job with the understand LED rope lighting, makes it easier to see what you are doing.

Shoelace April 21, 2015 Author April 21, 2015 How goes the tank, Ed? Aw, man, Isaac, things are a little crazy 'round these parts. There is a chance I may be moving back to Boston. Not any time real soon, but it puts a little dampener on me investing more in the 180. I'm deciding if I should start putting things up for sale and breaking things down Life happens, eh?

Life certainly does happen! Just ride it! Firm up plans before you break down! Sit in front of it when you have some free time, see if you still enjoy it!
Shoelace December 27, 2017 Author December 27, 2017 Hi Wamas! Life has settled down. Tank has been on life support (again). Going to bring it back for the new year. Wish me luck.
YHSublime December 28, 2017 December 28, 2017 Hi Wamas! Life has settled down. Tank has been on life support (again). Going to bring it back for the new year. Wish me luck. ED! Welcome back my dude! I've gotten out and back in again since you've been gone. Finally settled on a nano. Anything in the 180?
Shoelace December 28, 2017 Author December 28, 2017 Thanks! Funny how we can't stay away. I'll have to check out your nano! Softies are in the 180. Red mushrooms have sorta gone berserk. Going to have to reassess, but I think I'll stick with easy stuff. So my crappy Jaebo powerheads have died. Buy once, buy right. Buy cheap, buy twice. I'm thinking of getting a Maxspect Gyre, but not sure I want to spend the coin. I'm going to go read the reviews. Is it worth it?

They seem to provide the right type of flow, but I prefer the vortechs myself. Always easy, what about fish?

That sets up shifting flow. I augment them, though, with 4 Vortech MP40s to set up more randomness. Sent from my tablet using Tapatalk
