Cycle is started. I dosed 2 ml ammonia on Wednesday. Saturday i had .5 ammonia and 3 nitrates. Lfs had received the arches i wanted with more live rock. Now i just need to move the rocks around.

I think this is going to be the final landscape. 3 weeks into the cycle,0 ammonia 4ppm nitrates. Maybe next weekend start my pod population.

Still working on my electronics

I got the radions mounted on a tv wall mounted arm so i can move the lights out of the way when doing maintenance. Also figured out how to program them, its been a long time. I couldn't find the reeflink power cord. I was looking in all my fish equipment tubs and finally found it. Seems like everything is working now. I included a couple of pictures of the arm fully extended and retracted.

Finally seeded the tank with pods. 1 bag of apocyclops and 1 bag of tisbe. Will add remaining bag next weekend. Hopefully i will have a sustainable pod population for my future mandarin.

 

[chris k.]

The tank has a decent pod population. I see them everywhere. I also got a cleaner shrimp last weekend.

I went to the RVC fragfest today in Sarasota. There were good deals to be had. Here are my additions. And a zoa that hasn't opened yet will get a picture later.

A new FTS . had some bad water from a LFS that caused some problems. Bought a new RODI unit so I know my water is great now.
