motti June 24, 2014 Author Share June 24, 2014 Looks amazing! Cant wait to watch this one progress! Thanks! Looking good! How long until you start moving things over? Probably few weeks, I got some frags 2 weeks ago, the montipora and caps already started to encrust on the plugs. Once I see that they are doing as well as I want them to I'll move them over. I also came up with a list of possible fish, talked to Marcos about it, will most likely wait until after September with the sensitive fish and probably start bringing hardy ones in several weeks.

DCReefer1964 June 24, 2014 Share June 24, 2014 Sweet. Love the lights and look of Aquascape. As far as lighting would you say you have the 20K lok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyGeos June 24, 2014 Share June 24, 2014 Rave at Motti's!! Lighting options look endless, and I am sure they are controlled wirelessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motti June 24, 2014 Author Share June 24, 2014 Sweet. Love the lights and look of Aquascape. As far as lighting would you say you have the 20K lok ? It's kind of hard to tell, last time I had 20MH bulb it was really blue. This fixture has the same kind of control has the radions ones. So you can control each channel individually. I would love to check other people settings for their radions to copy some of the presets. Right now I had all channels at 100% with total brightness of about 30%. I think that having so many fixtures over the tank provide great light cover and even with somewhat low brightness level everything is really bright. Rave at Motti's!! Lighting options look endless, and I am sure they are controlled wirelessly. Yep, that's right got it hooked up to my controller. Which is coming along slowly. Last weekend I was working on getting the temperature sensors code in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motti July 10, 2014 Author Share July 10, 2014 Update time... Nothing new in the past few weeks. I finished acclimating few corals and moved 3 of them to the display tank. I still need to fine tune the powerheads so they don't make the front of the tank bare bottom Apparently I got some kind of clam in that live rock. Not sure what type but I guess it's filter feeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motti July 12, 2014 Author Share July 12, 2014 Lookin good! Thanks! I am finally done with my frag rack. Spent the morning moving the rest of the live rock from the frag tank into the refugium and sump. Now I have place for new frags. I've also finally attempted to frag my branching hammer. So far so good. All the heads seems to open alright. I did lose one because I snapped it too close and it cracked I've also finished painting the sides back and bottom of the qt tank. Just need to order a small heater for that tank and I'll be ready to go. I found out that my diy temp sensors started to rust... I guess stainless steel is not absolutely rust resistant. Ended up covering the probes with plastic dip. Will let it cure for a week or so before I put it back in tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyGeos July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 Video update Your first video of your tank with some life in it! I know you won't care if I give you a few pointers: Plan which corals you want to video, then move slowly in one direction. Zoom in or out slowly on your subject, then stay on the subject for at least 5 sec. If you have a tripod even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pointers man!, just winged it... with my messed up iphone 5 (touch screen only works sometimes). I am going to take a video every two weeks moving forward, will try to make it less shaky next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a tip, great idea about taking videos ever couple weeks, I was thinking just the same thought when I get mine set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
