Yeah! What he said!

Updates updates yeah yeah!!

Picked up my halides and mounted them toay. Can you say twinkle twinkle ?

The dude who was buying the tank decided he didn't want the fuge cuz he's going FO. I wound up w/the fuge the light forit some rubble that was in it and a big ball o' chaeto. Hooked it up too. The new sump buddy coming on Monday. God ! It's like Christmas in October.

GOOD GOD WHAT A LONG DAY!
So my new LFS had some tonga branch rock so i picked some of that up and then 19 pounds of rock (sounds like to little but wait till you see the pieces)
CAME HOME AND GUESS WHO CALLS! WORK! PLEASE COME IN TODAY AT 6. it was 3 so that left me with 3 hours to hook up EVERY SINGLE Piece of equipment and mount and calibrate both the RK and the MP20! (didnt even get to put the temp probe in or make my wave! anyways its alot of clutter and the LR isnt the way i want it right now (its a maybe though) and the phostphate remover tubes i need to shorten up and make look a little better a bloody mess though.. btw ace the pvc just wasnt working out, theres already to much in the tank and the amount of rock i have is enough already on the eyes!

my stupid phone wont sync to my laptop so no pics as of now!

BTW WHERE THE HELL IS DSR?

 

[Conski]

it syned... no light really so heres some pics of it at night, not really gonna be able to see the rock to well in the pic! much better pics are gonna be up at around 2 tomorrow.. btw the skimmer is making alot of foam im diggin it!look at all those damm wires

Tomorrow list of to do;
drain a little water
Redo aquascape

Turn back into fuge by mounting an 8w hood light from my freshwater to the back and adding cheto and rock rubble
MAKE MY WAVE :clap:

sounds about it i guess. then leave it alone lol

Good deal. It'll all come together. As soon as I get over my lack of tech saavy I'll get some of my pics posted

alot of work these past 2 days, i basically made myself a flat top table with my live rock lol, just ALOT of surface area.

making the wave is kind of annoying and hard. its just on lagoon reef mode.
do some readings tomorrow, sorry about no new picks, had to drain the water becuase it wasnt level in the back and wasnt fillig correctly, some water went on the wires and i got electrocuted, dk how good that is by my right hand feels odd

Bravo on the aquascape. Your configuration will allow you the best situation possible to maximize water motion and light coverage. It will also allow for the most room for coral growth. Any way we can get a pic ?

Edit: You can do better than lagoon mode. I wanna see 10000 gph of sloshing

 

[Conski]

hahahaa i will get that wave tomorrow amp i promise!

ill do a pic in the day tomorrow i was supposed to have pics today but had no time due to the amount of time already put into it. im glad that LR aquascape didnt come out in the first pic, it was awful and a quick job!

 

[Ken b]

Like I said,the order of the day for the next month is going to be fussing over every little thing.

 

[Conski]

Heres some pictures of how it is now!

I got my wave, not a crazy one but it works and is definitely a wave :woot:
the aqua scape is like a table with caves underneath it!

The one pic is of the boiling rowaphos in the reactor

Ill do tests tomorrow

only thing that is really annoying is the tube comming down the middle!

 

[Conski]

the boards have been so dead but heres hoping someone answers..

i aquascaped again.. lol very pick about my rock
Wondering when i should put the lights over the tank or get the CC.
Did my tests today, no ammonia no trite or trate, by Wednesday itll be set up for a week.

Alk is 9 didnt test CA.

So when do i get the cc and the MH's over it.. the rock was already curing for 3 weeks at my LFS
