Saterday, oktober 23, 2021 - #panoramareef - the liftmechanism. Because the lightfixture was sitting on top of section2 i was not able to do any scaping to make place for the other corals, so i needed to mount the lifting mechanism to get acces to the tank. It took some measuring, fitting and welding to designing a mounting piece for the wire to bend the corners. But finally it was done.

. #panoramoreef - sump?
I wasn't sure whether i wanted a sump, because of the energy spills of moving large volumes of water up all the time.
First i planned to use 2-3 surface skimmers, but each have moving part in full light, which would require extra maintenance. I had some glas lying around, so just to be save i decided to build a sump anyway.
Because the stand was already build, filled and operational, it was not possible to place a single sump required to hold enough water without removing a support beam.
So the sump was build in 2 pieces and put together on the spot.

Wednesday, oktober 20, 2021 #panoramareef - placing the sump.
The sump was placed between the support beams. *A few days later (oktober 25) we *made *aditional saltwater in the sump to raise the waterlevel *of the tank to be able to activate the sump.
The main reason for me to install the sump is the surface skimming and secondly i didn't want to extend and recalibrate the water intake of the KHD.

Tuesday, November 16, *2021, The #panoramareef is in the starting phase with all the up's and downs that goes with it. Now you have to be careful not to rush things .
I also went shopping at my main supplier of supplements[emoji16].
I feel Blessed to have a GHL Profilux4 and accompanying KHD running.
The KHD calculator has been adjusted for EZ2Go and is on testing phase.
After a false start where dinos and then algae got the upper hand, the light has been off for 3 days and 10 urchins have been added.
Patience is a virtue. The photos speak for themselves.
