Rabbut's Marine Jurnal

[SkiFletch]

Wow, that hammer is definitely looking much better. If that thing recovers for you rabbut, it'll be the first hammer I've ever seen to look that bad and still come back. Nice work

 

[rabbut]

The hammer is still healthy, but stopping since the instalation of my LED rig. I think a change in light is all that's done it. The Bubble is starting to extend again, but it still not quite right...

All the best
Rabbut

god you got lucky, malu nem sat right at the front with a clown in

 

[owlbassboy]

glad that nems not as white as it looks mate, was gonna tell you to get rid of it before it dies and wipes your tank out. tank is looking pretty good

 

[rabbut]

Well, the nem has now gone down the back when I can barely see it... I had to cut power to do a major re-wire of the cabinet to get the LED's in, and that meant about 5 hours of just flow from a single MP600 power head. The nem (and most of the corals for that matter) didn't like that much and the nem wandered off during the electrical work...

All the best
Rabbut

Well, it's been a while since I've updated this, so I'll do that now. These photos are nearly a week, nearly two, old, and a lot has changed so I'll likely up-date fairly soon.

Right then, onto the photo's, I'll start with the FTS

Sorry about the bad reflection there

Now, many will know I built and installed a DIY LED rig for this tanks main lighting, due to heat issues with the halide. Comming with the fully computer controlled lights, I also have electronically controlled cooling fans, so they automatically switch themselves on and off as needed Anyhow, enough twittering, more photo's

The smaller holes are air intakes for the LED heat sinks, the large fans are air extractor's for the main tank...

The above fans offer cooling to the main tnak as it overheats. The extractors and tank fans have independant control also...

There has been a small modification to the skimmer also

The may be a bigger skimmer mod comming up as it keeps leaking mind A full spec on the LED rig will (eventually) get posted in the Hardware forum, with cost and parts break-downs.

Now, livestock

Malu and Clowns. The nem will look very different when I post the next update.

Trumpet corals

Closed Brain

Organ Pipe

Elegance

Open Brain

Fire Coral, note the new green glow it's found under the blue LED's

Purple Montipora

Hammer Coral

I've had a move arround, and adjusted the LED setting a bit to reduce the "blue" apperance of the tank a little, more in the next update..

All the best
Rabbut

BTW, ben, I may take you up on that statement when the Monti is ready for fragging Be afraid, be very afraid

 

[ben1987]

when that time comes, ill meet you at your fave LFS then!

tansk looking good btw, woudlnt mind having a bash at making some LEDs to go round the edges of mine

 

[TigerIssey]

I really like the difference the LED's have made. I do like the balance of blue you have and would probably like a little more.

Am looking forward to the post in the hardware section, will probably not do owt till I have read that.

Tank looks really good, the nem and clowns look stunning, will be nice to see if it looks completely different now.

 

[rabbut]

a lot's changed in a week. The nem looks very different, for reasons I'm not disclosing ATM I'll keep you lot waiting in suspence on that one, as I'm in a evil mood again I'm starting to feel bothered enough to actually make a thread in hardware now, so, brace yourself for LED info over there... I'll edit this post with a link to said thread when I'm done...

EDIT to add, the link to the LED rig page...
