Hey love that rock, did you order that from somewhere?

thanks guys, actually mike (915mang) hooked me up with the rock, and i just made the base for it. gonna see if maybe i can find another like it to have two trees down the line. lol

 

[Snyper19]

it looks really cool.... i like how it looks like

Okay cleaned up this piece to see what it looked like, now with the orphek atlantik V2 light fixture on its way, i figured it deserved more than just gsp. now i have no clue what to do about the scape. I think i gotta order more dry rock and do something else now, what you guys think ??

 

[915MANG]

Actually I like this set up. But I'd set up a zoa garden as well

I'm curious on how this will turn out

i just ordered another cheap one off of amazon this time and i threw it in the sump. 9w chinese $30 whatever it is. its suppose to work upright but i could only fit it almost horizontal almost, but it wont work if the bottom is higher than the top. so far so good. got some suction cups on it and i added some to keep it from floating up.

on another note, today i had my first good cleaning of the turf scrubber, not sure if i mentioned but i added a second light to one side and there was a good difference. So gonna look into more powerful par38s, cuz if i try to put 4 lights down there it aint gonna really work well without being a hassle.

also going for more flow, laminar gyre flow i guess its called. so not really random flow its about moving the whole tank water as a whole. basically one powerhead towards the top of the tank on one side and one on the other side towards the bottom. easier to do this with no sand. lol , technically if you can move more water this way with the same pumps. think vertex circular motion.

I also purchased some aquavitro fuel since i keep hearing good things about it. New test kit for mag, alk and cal, im rockin and rollin right now !!

 

[915MANG]

I bought fuel as well, hope you refrigerated it after you opened it. Easy to miss that part

you know what i saw that, but i still missed 3-4 days before i refrigerated it. not sure what it can do . what would go bad ? nothing alive in there.

just found some info, you do not need to refrigerate it if you plan on using it all in 2-3 months time. if you plan on keeping it closer to a year and up then you should refrigerate it.

Good to know, I have mine in the fridge

Light came in, pretty easy to set up to my phone as it the only controller, wifi on it works on android. I must say the build quality is top notch, and got it mounted today, took half the day to modify these legs i had, but it came out sweet. Im blown away by the look of the light it puts out. not that i have much in the tank, but my gsp freakin glows !! i cannot express how much better it looks and excited i am to have and run this light.

 

[915MANG]

Looks very Sweet

 

[javles]

Makes that gsp glow brite

 

[pnavarro170]
