Owners Thread: Innovative Marine Fusion 40

Yea.. I hope it will be eventually.

Fish Like the new tank as do the corals.. only coral that looks ****ed right now is my mushroom but I think that's cause I had to remove him from the center of the rock he was attached to.

The others are fully extended and looking happy.

I finally found out what was causing the bad algae growth in my tank. I have a crab of some sort that came with my CUC and he tends to eat the occasional snail, but only eats about half of it and leaves the rest to rot in the tank. Had a bunch of half eaten snails all over. Only have 1 single small snail left.. I guess it may be time to get some more.

And I am much happier with the sand in this tank.. My last tank had probably the finest sand grains available, was almost like a powder. This sand is much nicer, doesn't blow all around with the power-head, which for the Gyre is a good thing.

I remember moving my guys to the 40. They were like..wow. room!
I don't trust most crabs. My emerald ate a gorgonian and part of a scoly. hes no longer a threat. Gone..
Have fun! Just check your water every couple days and be ready to wc if needed.
I just saw a nitrate increase in mine (i had a gonipora die today, cause unknown and it made a mess) and mixed up 15g for tomorrow. I should prob do more like 25g...think I'll go make more rodi...never a dull moment.
 
QD drivers do make a dif. Definitely quieter. Whine is barely noticeable now....
And no, I didn't clean up my rats nest.
 
Trying to decide where to place my fusion

Think I like the first better but the light bleeds onto the screen a little. Not sure if when full, if that will lessen or not?

If you are worried about light bleed, they are both bad. I'd do the right side, and just set it on dark blues at 2% while you are watching tv. During daylight hours, it's going to be bright, to very bright, depending on your programming. Mine lights the entire LR.

Yea, and I haven't even hooked up the float switches or ATO...

I hooked up my Avast ATO last night and started to get a little anxious about all the newly-added tubes and cables. I would recommend not trying to do that on a day you've taken a bunch of Sudafed... the whole process seemed irrationally annoying. hahaha... That being said, I'm very pleased with the Avast gear in combination with the Apex. Spent quite a while working on the programming to hopefully put some safety measures in the code to prevent overfill accidents. Also - if anyone else picks up the Avast ATO, don't bother with the float switch. The float is just too big to fit back in the overflow area along with everything else. I incorporated a max run time and virtual latch outlet into the Apex programming, so I feel fairly confident that even if the pressure switch fails in the closed position the programming will prevent the pump from overfilling the tank. Also plan to incorporate some logic around salinity after I get the PM2 module and conductivity probe in.

You can always simulate failure to test your programming. Hopefully you also got a temp probe for the pm2. It will make it a bit more accurate. i simply have a fail safe that shuts off the ato outlet if the salinity drops more than .5. It will vary close to that much over a 24h span, but I've never seen it go lower. YRMV.
