Long time no update and thought id better let everyone know im still here!
Tank is ticking along nicely now after a few speed bumps over the past few months. It seemed every time i had some sort of stability something would happen to knock it off track! First there was the 4 day power outage after the storms we had, then a couple of months later my light failed and tank went without main light source for over a week. As well as two or three instances of skimmer overflowing into sump for days on end.
ANyway, the tank has fair very well and im getting great growth and colour is starting to improve.
My light has been changed to an ATI hybrid 8x24w after my halide blew another ballast. i am really liking the t5s now and the LED provides a little shimmer that i could not do without. still not near the intensity of the Giesmann MH BUT my chiller hasn't come on since switching and temps have been much more stable so i no longer have to dread summer power bills lol.
Skimmer got its first clean since set up, was pretty much white with calcification from the water line down!
Hoping to get someone to come take some photos soon as mine are always shit!
