Day 15 - new 90 tank starting to look better...
some of the photos in this set show how the lights hang from the ciling. the lights are Current Outer Orbit 48"
2 x 96 pc for the 03 / blue and 2 x 150 MH HQI for the main daylight - 10K
not in good focus in a few photos - working on when to photograph it - is my strawberry coral it's a soft cave coral that's one of the ones you can keep -- I've had this one for almost a year now, before in my 55 it was sitting on the bottom under some rock - did ok but not the best for it....
now I have a ledge that's flat and I used some Tunze epoxy and a nylon wire tie to hold it the "right way" for this guy which is upside down :rollface: I can tell he really like this new location cause at night he opens up really nice and shows well.
but to photograph him.... he opens in the dark! so I have to mess with trying to catch him early in the morning and get light and focus etc...
it's not a dendro- it's an Alcyonium fulvum - possibly Forskal ?
over the next few weeks / month or so - I have to work on hiding some of the wires and run some tubing for RO/DI topp off water and some other details.....
in a few of the pictures you may see a doorway to the right, just to the right of that is a laundry room with a cold water tap....
have to check out the parts I need to tap into that w/o messing with the fixed plubing and put my RO/DI rig in there - then I can top off w/o buckets and with the pluming all hidden from view!
