10G JBJ Cubey build out

Was also able to add micro skimmer by Reef Glass. Basically an open bottomed test tube with lime wood air stone. Used very quiet eheim to drive it and had to used lowest 3watt setting and dial back on air. We shall see if the collection portion can actually collect skimate.

Upgraded both Vortech drivers from ES to QD today. Like that they blend with black lacquer stand. Very quite. Spend 30 min trying to get EcoSmart live to forget old ES and recognize new QD drives but eventually it all worked out.

Added a 6" angel or maybe butterfly fish to the nano today if for no other reason than to say I have a fish in the tank now or make the equipment table look a bit better for my wife.

Top down clam shot. It had no color when I got the Deresa but has colored up nicely under the AI prime since.

Not much to report. Replaced the milk jug with acrylic dosing reservoir. Tracking daily water evaporation rate along the blue tap.

Was able to hookup a NET module to my RKL and view data inside the on my laptop via asus n300 access point installed by tank. See pic.

However I was unable to setup NDNS and port forwarding to reach from outside house. Still working on it.

Finally got my router DDNS and port forwarding so I can access NET module from outside network. Had to abandon no-ip dot com and use asus built in service thx get it to work for some reason.

Picked up some local montipora digitata (forest fire and watermelon) plus three pajama cardinals to give the tank a little motion.

Still dosing two part every morning but should have three channel dosing pump soon!

Looks great so far!
Love the fact you're attempting sps at this scale.
Can you talk about what went into choosing the ai prime led?
 
hey Spartan thanks for the kind words regarding this comeback into reefkeeping after several years of absence.

I'm working really hard to keep salinity, alk stable for the SPS and we'll see how long I can keep it up.

I didn't know anything about current trends in LED lighting, starting looking at other nano tanks and googling pendents then came across the prime.

The Prime had everything I was looking for : has nice puck shape especially with gooseneck mount, mobile phone app config including individual led levels and schedule. As far coverage/spread it is perfect for 10 gallon cube tank with very few dark spots. If I had a rectangular tank it probably won't work by items and would need two. It's an awesome light especially if you get one used from a buddy!

I can't comment on SPS growth/color as my tank is too new. Hoping to see some color develop over the next 6 months.
 
Latest update. Was able to successfully upgrade to RKE without issues. Did so so I can add more modules like master/slave doses pumps.

Replaced ReefGlass with generic cup skimmer because RG would either skim on wet side leading to drift in salinity or dry and clog the drain. The generic air stone driven skimmer with cup can skim dry with no problems.

Next project is to add dosing pump to dose 2-part.

PS some sad news I lost my little 1.5" clam. I think it is due to conch that kept knocking it over no matter where I put it but dunno. There were no burrowing snails at the base.

Thx reefpuck

Latest mod is finally got around to adding doser to dose two part. Had to dilute 2:1 cuz daily amount was so small[emoji23]
