Busy Tank Weekend !
Ok. Hubby back from holiday in Queensland ( rained everyday) serves him right for leaving me home. So put him to work the min he walked in the door. Firstly we set up a second IBC for water storage.
Second job was to set up the new 25W UV system, and as usual hubby did an amazing job, looks neat and tidy and not too obvious considering the size of the unit.
Third was changing over the 8 globes.
Now this was interesing,
One of the globes we bought was incorrect, so we put the old one back in and boxed the new one ready for return.
When the lights ramped up and were at about 40% this is what the old globe looked like.
On the right, you can see the amazing difference. yes the globe is on and at the same % as the new ones
I think because the lose brightness over a long period of time we just don't notice the difference.
We were stunned.
Then a 300lt water change.
So a big thanks to hubby for all the hard work.
Oh, i did help and water test :)
