Would you mind messenging me on what you bought as far as the rocks are concerned? (You can message me privately if you wish) I am interested in knowing what kits you purchased as you seemed to hit the "Goldilocks Zone". Not too much, Not too little. I am looking to get the same amout of rock myself. Was wondering how many pounds you have there (approximately)
Sure, happy to help:
I’m finally at the cycling stage of the build. As for the M2, I actually had to tone it down a bit to 85%. This and the 2 MP40’s is providing enough flow.
Im running my m2 at 50% and i feel thats a lot of flow i dont know why people got me anxiois on the l2 upgrade. I cant for the life of me sir get my
I had the same issue. I kept adjusting the valve with small turns until I got it to a level that seemed the most quiet. Although not perfectly silent, it’s to a level that’s tolerable.
And i had an issue with the baffle over here spilling water like a waterfall
Do you mind doing me a favor and take a pic of the overflow box straight at the top. Turned out mine is defective and not centered. Look how its peeking to the left making it too close to the overflow box. Lol. I gotta do something about it tomorrow. Can i see yours to confirm if u dont mind
My overflow pipe is also to the left.
Is that a defect ? That have to be a defect theres no way that its not a defect. I could never have that tank quiet. I contacted waterbox and they are sending me spare parts to work with. The pipes have no business being that close to the weir. Im going to cut the emergency pipe, and add 2 45s to fix it, and have it more to the back for a 4K tank this is unacceptable. I had waterbox tanks before, and i was able to adjust them on the fly with the gate valve. Its not hard. But also i didnt have that the emergency pipe that close to the weir. Other pipes dont matter but that emergency pipe always submerged.
Beautiful tank, and nice update. As a newbie i have a question. Wouldnt new tank swings affect your coral?Progress update. Tank finished cycling at the end of August. I’ve been slowly moving corals from the old tank and adding some new pieces.
Thank you. I’ve been keeping the parameters very stable. Also, I don’t have a huge bio load with 5 fish, some corals, and a small clean up crew. I’ll continue to add more as time progresses. So far, this aquarium is so much easier to maintain than my old 24 gallon tank.
The light coverage is great with the 3 lights. No shadowing between the lights.
