Just added my Azoo fans to my ATC 800 they have been in my boot for 4 weeks

really need to redo my sump yet again think I need a second power board need to ad 2 45s to my outlet so I can get a sock on there soooo many jobs to do

I have a little browning on one of my Acros everything else is looking good not 100% sure why its browning Phosphates @ 0.003 light is spot on so I think its just a flow issue or a self shadowing issue as its the under sides that are brown whereas the rest is perfect colour full polyp extension.

Still no skimmer I have been assured it will be here next week once its here my sump will get a full revamp once thats done its hands out add a couple of nice SPS and let everything grow

Temp has been ok with new fans on sump maxing at 27.2 will be better once I get to move my sump

White spot has almost gone fish are fat and healthy after a weekend feed up of Brineshrimp + Garlic and new era Lipsome. went into a chain to pick up a UV to run for a while to be safe they wated 110 for the TMC 600 I did point out to them that rrp is about 88 I know I have seen the list book 100% mark up is taking the p*** I can get it online for 80 delivered

Against my better judgement have added a Black tip Fromia they seem to be very hardy SWMBO wanted one so had to get it

Cool, I agree with swmbo, lovely star but can understand your concerns. Apparently they are very sensitive to a drop in oxygen levels

What sort of temperature variation would be considered dangerous for your setup? 27°C + 2°C ?

I run at 26°C normaly my atc kicks in within 1°C up or down I would start panicing with ice packs at 29

just wanted to say cheers again for the skimmer and nice to meet you today.
the skimmer is certainly a beast!!!!
after a bit of DIY to make a stand for it and a shuffle around in the frag tank its all set up and running nicely. even producing some nice skimmate already!
hope your new one fits alright.

 

[Morri]

Thanks Rob yip mine is in up and running getting some vibration but just need to work it out and make a silencer for the air line

Had fun emptying the sump and moving it getting there slowly though

Not been posting much recently been v busy with work etc.

Anyway I will start with the negatives Been a total idiot this week switched of my CA reactor as I am switching to Balling thought I was being clever and tested and dosed CA but forgot about KH tested that last night and it was down to 6.4!!!!

So taking remedial action to get this back upto 8

I finaly managed to get a skimmer that would fit in my sump gave up on Bubble Magus as the importer is not answering questions about due dates etc. Grrrr not a good way to do business

So picked up a second hand APF 600 sits in sump nicely bubbling away as I type

I can now start adding my MM fuge to increase my filter size not really needed but it will help with load from my tank as the fish grow.

Also picked up my salts mistake number 2 ordered enough for 10L when I only need 5L Grrrr

I have ordered a segmented balling tank/Auto top off so hopefully have that in a few weeks

Also ordered a GHL + 3 pump Dosing pump there are cheaper options but I intend to utilise a lot of the functionailty in the GHL in the future

Very nice. be well interested to see how you get one, like we said in my thread, this is the best way for SPS imo

 

[Morri]

Aye not lookin forward to the first week of testing everynight but once thats done it should be easy went with all the trace elements as well considered Zeovit to boot but to many changes to quickly might look at Zeo in about 6 months am a little concerned about my CUC with zeovit

i think going zeo in an established tank is a difficult one, as LPS dont tend to do well as its a massive shock to the system, you can achive very low neutrients with MM and cheato. Theres loads of stories of people wiping their tank by accidently adding too much from one of the blue bottles. the results if dont right though cannot be matched.

 

[seffieuk]

I'm following with interest but am so glad I havent been bitten by the SPS bug

[Morri]

SPS are nice but would not go without my LPS have a few concerns about Zeo needs a lot more reaserch before I decide fully

but Ballin seems so simple basically its just auto dosing instead of weekly dosing still needs testing though shame there are no probes to measure MAG, CA and KH

 

[seffieuk]

shame there are no probes to measure MAG, CA and KH

second that thought, someone could make a killing if they were able to invent such a thing - all us old salts would go running to the shop
