Yeah thats a journey alright. Welcome
Stepped in it a few times along the way i'd say. ;)

Whats your thinking with the bed?

Hey mate, are you referring to the sand bed? If you are, I do enjoy being able to crank up the MP10 without having to worry about a sandstorm...but i do miss the look of having a nice white sand bottom to contrast the colours of the corals.

Not just that, your sand bed in nano environments gives you one hell of a free hit with handling stability.
Like discarded underwear....whoosh! lol

Hola Holla-bienvenido!
Tank looking great as usual-love it!:D

Great journal mate... all your DIY efforts were tradesman like in execution.

Heads up with Acans and strong lighting, the acan comes from turbid waters and dont need strong lights, less is more in this case, stick your acans in the shade.

Thanks for the compliment mate, its very satisfying to be able to do your own work on the tank rather than fork out cash on things that might not be suited to your particular set up.

And thanks for the tip with the acans...unfortunately i dont really have any shady spots for them at the moment...I will monitor their progress and see how they react...if need be, I will rescape to try and make some darker areas for them. The lights are being run at about 50% at the moment to help acclimate the corals.

Thanks Firebird, i'm glad you're enjoying the journal mate!

 

[MagicJ]

I did, thanks mate.
I think you would be an ideal candidate for an Arduino micro-controller and a nice little LED build ;)

 

[holla_passer]

Haha thanks, but i know NOTHING about micro-controllers...or macro-controllers...or any type of controller for that matter!

I am sure you didn't know much about phosphate reactors and ATO's etc before your started experimenting ;)

 

['vspec']

and I never thought i'd try acid, but after spazzing out on the Holla signature series, I think it would be a similar experience :)

Haha true, but at least the concept of a phos reactor and an ATO made sense to me....programming just scares me. I did software design in high school....QBasic and Visual Basic all the way!

Haha so was that a good experience?

Yeah, You have some good content, but my retina's are still seared by your colour choice. lol, Dude, I strongly recommend you see an optometrist

Hahahaha...okay im changing it at the moment.

Should make it a rainbow ;)

 

[firebird]

Agree-colour choice too conservative now!:D

 

[holla_passer]

haha tough crowd...

looks like im joining the nano crew to :)
