BiGGie's Build

[BiGGiePauls33]

Currently my alkalinity is sitting in the 8.5 dhh range, no3 is about 5 and po4 .05. Been a month on the moonshiners program and will be sending out another ATI test this upcoming week.

Nothing new to report, siphoned out some detritus yesterday and cleaned up and organized the fish room as it was getting a bit messy to the eye. Sent out a water test last Tuesday and have been on the Moonshiner's Method roughly one month and believe it or not I can see the difference in how corals are responding. Everything seems more vibrant and fuller than before. Just dosed my daily elements of Manganese, Chromium, Cobalt, Iron, Vanadium and Iodine.

Paul are you dosing all by hand or dosing pump?

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

Currently by hand, but I have a GHL doser sitting on the shelf, Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

Still haven't configured the doser, maybe tomorrow. Here's a quick couple shots.

Looks like the moonshine doing good things

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

Redid my sump area yesterday due to it being a pain to access anything in it. Have to do some wire management in the next couple days once my back isn't as sore.

Picked up some goodies today as well.

Also, water top off will be handled via Tunze Osmolator 3155

This build will be an almost all GHL ecosystem. So far I have a Profilux 4 Mega Set.

I never figured out how to use that power strip from MassSave. It's one of the most effed up logic power strip ever.

Giving up on the dreams of an aptasia farm?

 

[highfive52]

I so want to grow one out. Dang you copperband. I've never had aptasia. So want to find one. Guy grew one in a 10g. It is gorgeous.

Last time I was at European Aquatics in Malden they had a real tiny one I almost bought for my 20gal to help with aptasia (I'm upgrading to a 57gallon in the next few months)
