Quick update, Went camping for 3 days to return home finding a severe storm flooded the fish room and left 1/2 inch of mud on the floor, the power outage kicked off the skimmer for 24+ hours and caused an algae bloom over the sand, and slightly on the front panel... lucky i didnt stay longer!
upgraded the lighting system and added a 400w to the center, and an icecap 660 ballast to power the actinic lighting ( 3 bulbs) also added a phosban and carbon reactor, things are going great so far.... water is in spec, including cal, dkh is slightly high but, only around 14... 2 days and 40 gals of water changes brought most back after the skimmer outage
stock list includes
2 Yellow tangs
Blonde naso tang
Tennent tang
Powder blue tang
Coral beauty
Royal grama
2 False perc clowns
2 Green chromis (had 5 ordered, and 3 were doa)
Haddoni Carpet anemone (which clowns havent touched yet)
Rock anemone
3 Emerald crabs
Serpent starfish
Breeding pair of coral banded shrimp
some snails and hermits
Misc others (zoos, mushrooms etc)
Heres a few update videos (sorry for the shaky hands, i was jacked up on energy drinks):
Today after adding the 3 new tangs, anemone, zoos and "mystery" frag... didnt realize the cloceups were so blurry till now, sorry! will get the rebel and snap some shots soon for ID
thanks again for your help!
Will be adding the 55 gal as a fuge this week so i will add another vid later
Thanks again!
