Aquabacs' Cadlights Artisan 50 Azooxanthellae Tank build

[GreshamH]

If you look further back in the thread you will see he bought a Bubble Magnus.

How long will every thing last? at this rate: Shellfish would need to be replaced every 157 days, Oysterfeast every 39 days, and Rotifeast every 47 days.

157 days may be pushing the shelf life of SD. Maybe split a bottle with someone?

 

[Aquabacs]

Thank you all.

That is AWESOME Mike. Did you take pics of the whole process with drilling the fridge and everything? I'm sure it would make an awesome DIY for people wanting to get into NPS tanks. I look forward to hearing about your thoughts on its effectiveness with feeding the corals.

+1 on that.if you have pics step-by-step,please share

I have some pictures, I didn't take too many while building it. It took me less than 30 minutes to cut, drill, glue, etc. I will see what I can write up.

WOW,simply amazing...

Sweet!
What temp do you keep it at? Did you use a automatic ball valve? Which doser do you use? Looks like bubble magus?

No automatic ball valve yet...it is an option that I might look into in the future.

157 days may be pushing the shelf life of SD. Maybe split a bottle with someone?

Dont worry...I will use it up quicker than 157 days The setting that are currently set to dose are my baseline for running the system. Going on vacation next week and I didnt want to get too ambitious while I was away.

Thank you.

I did the same when I saw it.

[dainiusiva]

it is going to look very nice and in-place with corals you are keeping.nice find

 

[Aquabacs]

Thank you. The fish is very criptic; so as beautiful as it may be it most likely be seen out too often.

 

[michael_cb_125]

Amazing fish. I am not crazy about dottybacks, psuedochromis and the like, but that is a stunning fish that you have there

~Michael

 

[Aquabacs]

Thanks, Michael.
