small update
I finished building the added addition to the sun room area, a bricked housing for the chiller and two 200L tanks (top off and salt mix).
Moved the chiller two days ago from my other tank, and plumbed it in...shew, I have about 20m of 32mm pipe that runs to/fro to the chiller and then back to the sump. Had one nasty leak right on the fitting that joins onto the 1HP chiller. I made up some of that plastic putty and it quick sealed that leak in less than a minute...awesome product.
When I switched the chiller on, it's temp gauge showed 25.6...yet all three of the thermometers in the set-up showed about 4 degrees more than that....so perhaps my temps were not as high as I thought. It has been oddly cool the last few days in Jozi (cloudy with afternoon rain)...the chiller has yet to switch on (will go on at 27 degrees), so keen to see how it copes with the system. Corals can now breath a sigh of relief.
Did some fishing in my other tank this afternoon, caught my powder blue and the copper-band. Missed the sail fin twice though, should get him tomorrow. I used a plastic 2L coke bottle suspended with the funnel?neck area cut off and then inverted and placed back inside the bottle. Cut a slit so that even the big PB could get in. Suspended with some fishing line and mysis inside as bait.
Will add as much of the tangs I can get to, before needing to remove all the LR in DT of the other tank, where I will need to get to some of the other shoaling anthias and chromis. Don't want to rush the bio load though, so will add weekly.
Must say though, that the PB looks even more awesome under sunlight.
