thanks for getting back to me on those return pump heads. My water took little to no time to clear up.

I finally woke up today to some crystal clear water ���� thank god I was getting nervous as I never had this issue in the last 8 years setting up tanks.

 

[ken1977]

Today I tested my water and seems like the cycle is doing its thing. I know just wasted a test strip but I was curious.

 

[ken1977]

14 days in to the cycle and first water change done! 5 gallon change I will add Dr. Time Bacteria in the morning. No signs of life yet...

It looks the same only thing I have changed so far is pump to Sicce 1.0 the 251 gph model. My lights are on the way ATI 4 x 24 Dimmable (I'm going old school but quality T5) as well as an MP10wqe I'll post a pic when I install. I'm only 15 days in cycle I may Waite another 30 days before I add any live stock. My next purchase will be an Apex Jr, I figure I need to purchase a thermometer and a quality energy bar so why not.

Filter socks and media out for 48 hours, Added another 2oz of Dr. Tims Bacteria.

Can't hear it, I only hear my spin stream now and they are starting to annoy me lol. But yes very quite.

Took a sample of my water to LFS and everything is checked out perfect! Day 20 and looks like my cycle is complete. To be safe I'm still waiting 15 more days with no lights.

My Aquascape from the top. Has plenty of room for coral and a few shelves to place coral on.

Looks awesome, that is a good idea. that is the only thing I wish I would have done differently with my aquascape. I didn't really give myself a good layout for coral.

I'm starting to get some what seems to be clear looking stuff growing on some of the rock, I'm getting close to end of cycle. Almost looks like weeds growing out I have never scene clear usually green.

Originally I posted that I am putting an ATI 4 x 24 Dimmable. I received the light yesterday and dissapointed that two of the reflectors were damaged so I am sending it back on Monday. I decided to go with a Radion XR15Pro another great deal this morning. I should be getting the reef link on Thursday as my bUddy did not have it in stock, I'm planning on it :thumbsup: . I will post some pics once I have it up and running, I'm 90% happy I had my heart set on T5 but joining the tech junkies in LED.

 

[ken1977]

It's a nice light, I am very impressed with the manual modes but can't waite for the reeflink. The picture below is 14k setting, I won't be running it at all for about 15 more days just to be safe but I couldn't resist seeing it in action. I also picked up my original black ice :fish1: clown that my buddy was fish sitting for me in his tank while this tank was cycling.

 

[ken1977]

12k manual settings legit!
