Jonty's latest Build thread (1 Viewer)

I got the dosing of supplements setup today, running a dilution of product so I dose 0.5 ml of each product every hour. Currently running RO water for 48hrs to ensure everything is spot on.

Are you adding any other supplements besides those?

I'm curious to hear what you think of Acro Power.
 
I have been dosing these supplements plus Elos Amino Acids since day one, The Elos product is super strong and I am going to mix it with the AcroPower, DO the work I don't know but running a low nutrient system as I am trying to do I figure it can not hurt. The Ozone is probably stripping out these additives as fast as I am adding them :)
 
I have the stepper motor version and I love it super quiet and the precision of dosing is quite remarkable. The software interface is excellent and quality of materials is also very high quality.
 
new lights are in 3x Hydra 52 and 2X T5 . Now I wait and see, hydra 52's are capable of very high output LOL. Running 1 Blue Plus, and 1 Aqua Blue Special

Chad has been keeping an eye on my tank while I travel lately and made this feeding video, it shows the purple Queen Anthias Pair nicely.

Thanks I am not happy with the way the tank is right now I just need to be around for a while to give it some TLC it has been on autopilot for three weeks with all the traveling I have been doing.
 
This setup is awesome! I'm amazed at how well you keep all the equipment organized.
 
Well its been a long time since I did an update, I had been traveling nonstop for the last 5 weeks and the tank had to run on autopilot the whole time, WC were automated once a week and feeding was by two apex Auto feeders, I had Chad stop by last week after the feeders ran out to feed.

Before I left I made a bad decision and pullet the bio pellets and switched over to the new All in one Biopellet product as a result I had a nitrate increase to 5 and some general wierdness, the upshot is I lost 2 Scollys and a favia, a few SPS are in a holding pattern but others have grown quite well. I will post some pictures in the next day or two. I was remarkable that the tank and all systems ran so perfectly without any interaction for so long. I guess my systems design has been quite good so far.

I am also going to do some replumbing and add a separate pump with a flow meter to drive through the UV and have the main pump supply the balance of flow to give me the total return volume desired. I am also reorganizing my mechanical room and adding a NUVO Fusion 30L to be a invert holding tank. I will also make it a little tank of Zoa's to keep me entertained in the fish room. the new QT system will be lit by two Hydra 52's so the lighting on the fish and Invert QT is an exact match to the main tank.

Pics to follow

I had to do something I hate to do today and add two fish from quarantine very early to the tank as I am traveling again this week and I won't have any one to feed them so into the main tank they have gone , I put an additional 120 Watt UV inline to help control any floating baddies. The fish are really nice a peppermint candycane hogfish and a white tail Tang. I really did not realize how beautiful these fish can be.
