Updates!!!

Updates!!!

so ive done a couple updates to the tank

Flow

first off my panworld CL wasnt giving me enough flow so i added and MP10.
(thank you Elan)

Lighting

since i dont have a canopy i wanted to find a discreet way of adding some antinic lighting so i opted for a couple 460nm powerbrites and modded my pendant almost looks oem lol

Dosing

previously i was adding lime to my ato to maintain my calc and alc but my ph has been going a bit to high for my taste (pH8.6+) so i built a DIY dual doser unit to replace the kalk with randy's 2-part

and finally here are some tank shots with some new corals

all i did was grab some zip ties and went to town on it , btw the little black box on the rear powerbrite is the moonlight

 

[WhoDey64]

Nice, thank you. I am facing the same issue on my new build. I want to go with the Aqua Medic pendants for the compact size, but don't want to give up the supplemental lighting for dusk/dawn.

 

[Fish2reef]

Very nice project, with your DY skill level have you considered a canopy to conceal the fan? I feel would give if nice finish.

 

[eon]

actually I'm not a huge fan of canopies but i have an azoo twin fan I've been thinking of changing too but idk whether it could handle cooling the tank

 

[eon]

i just added a couple of DIY Enductors
