Mojo's 65g build

Nice eqiuipment you have. You should have built your own custom skimmer. Well good luck with you new reef.
 
Ok a few updates. Just ordered a couple bulbs a uvl 75.25 to replace the super actinic and a aquablue special.

So things are coming along pretty well. I think once I get the phosphates in order ill be good to go. Then I ll be able to hook up the doser. For now I am changing too much water to set up the doser. But here are a few pics to share.

Do you do anything special to get your sun polyps to open like that? Mine open about once a week that I notice, and thats only when I'm feeding the tank. I feed them directly and they close back up.
 
Ok, I ll have to bust our the camera tomorrow. But I finally got the lighting redone. I just didnt like the fixture mounted in the canopy. I took out the 4 bulb tek and put in a two bulb retro from reefgeek. I was going to run the ati purple plus but the one I got in wouldnt fire. reefgeek is sending me a new one. Great service.

So I am using the 2 30" blue reefbrite strips and currently a ATI aquablue special and a Aquascience 15k. So those two bulbs along with the blue LEDS are giving a pretty nice color. Ill have to give it some time and see how this does. Some new pictures will be coming in the next couple days.
 
Ok took a couple pics today. Got the lighting done and the dosing pump hooked up. Man that thing is pretty nice. Also upgraded to a RKE head unit as well.

The lights are 2 30 in reef bright strips and 2 t5. The bulbs I ordered are not working so I am using 2 of my older ones at the moment. uvl 75.25 and a ATI aquablue special.

Ok time for an update. I will making a few little changes as things are breaking in. I have been running BRS gfo and carbon and will be trying out the new ATB carbon and HC GFO.

I am getting the dosing pump finally dialed in. Amd everything is starting to look pretty good if I do say so myself. I really like the light combo. THe acros are gaining color and the pop from blue LEDS is great. Ill have to get everyone some new pics here in the next couple days. I did pick up a mystery wrasse and a couple small frags from Procorals as well.More to come.

ok did a little house keeping and changed out my media. Thought I would give the atb stuff a try. I just got the carbon and gfo, I have had the pellets for a little bit. We will see how it stacks up to the BRS carbon and gfo.

Here a pic of what you would expect. Did my water change tonight as well. I ll be ready to take pics of the tank and corals tomorrow.

I did get a couple new things. I picked up a Mystery Wrasse and I ordered a couple frags from Sonny at Procorals. Man they pack there stuff as good as anyone I have eveer gotten coral from.

Tomorrow shipment will bring a Sunset plate coral, a Dragon soul favia frag, Some Rasta zoos, a ORA Hawkins and the Setosa. Sp all in all not a bad little box coming.

I mounted some pieces today to make room. I mounted some sps frags I bought from Sonny and my nuclear green palys, and my candy apple reds. Still have the captain americas and the tubb blues on the frag rack.

more pictures tomorrow .
 
Ok Picture time. Took some with all lights and the last couple with LEDS . Things are coloring up really well. Well at least I think so.
