progress in tank and christmas!
A few new things in the tank, a little bit more rock, and I've got the apex wxm ordered. I did take a few pics during holidays but they still don't look good. I did get the skimmer working though I'm afraid to let it run nonstop b/c so many have said of overflow....and I'm wondering if it happens and I don't see it right away....if I'm just going to get all the detritus into the tank to recirculate....so right now I turn it on for a while while I'm home so I can observe.
Will need to put in new filter sock tomorrow, and re attempt some pics, with tripod.
Water tests today came back fairly good, some minor adjustments made. 0 nitrates or nitrites. ammonia 0.1 ph 8.1 salinity slightly high.
Bought two reef keeping books. Ordered an algae scrubber for back of tank. Got a turkey baster type device today.
Will be recalibrating pH probe and will be finding salinity solution to calibrate apex pm2 soon.
Will be reading up on media br1 reactor for install this weekend. All probes should be calibrated saturday along with install and redo of entire electronics board/sump area. Will be finding a fan for sump area this week.
I'm hoping to add a fish in January.
Our frasier fur real tree is up, and philips illuminate lights are on. Very cool, allow you to control with cell phone, change colors, intensity,etc...
The other pics of the entire setup of tank are actually a bit older...I think when water was added, and system running, which is why its so murky from the sand that got kicked up. Taken with cell phone, but it shows again the corner niche its in...and without the excess blue haze from the last total aquarium picture i uploaded....
