Do a little algae scrubber update. Here’s a photo of it running for two weeks. Clearwater 50 scrubber. Got rid of the refuge About a year ago and started running the scrubber. Definitely can say my tank is a lot cleaner.

Adding a Avast neck cleaner (Swabbie) to my skimmer. First I have to replace the neck cleaner motor. Goal is to make the tank as hands off as possible. Right now I currently only have to Complete weekly water changes by hand. More photos to come.

upgrade….
I won two Noopsyche 75 watt LEDS here on R2R!!! This is actually the first thing that I’ve ever won aquarium related in 25 years!!!
I added two Noopsyche k7 V3 75 watt LED fixtures to the rear of my 6 bulb ATI fixture. I have a Center overflow in my tank and trying to light each side of the overflow has been a tricky battle. I made some brackets and added the two 75 watt LEDS, right to my fixture turned out looking pretty sleek! Here’s a few pics. I still have to program the lights with the remote control that’s on the to do list for today. Once I get the light programmed, I will add more photos. Thanks for looking! Thanks Noopsyche!!!

Nice idea, great looking tank

Really liking the color, build, and compact size of the k7 V3 75 watt Noopsyche LEDS. I had trouble trying to get rid of the shadowing on each side of the internal overflow. Since adding the two 75 watt Noopsyche positioned over each side of the rear overflow the shadowing has been eliminated. I’ll try and post some daylight color photos tomorrow. The SPS and LPS in the rear definitely like the newly added Noopsyche.

Installed black acrylic 12 ATO reservoir behind my stand.

Who makes this ATO reservoir? It's exactly what I have been looking for! A slim line black one I can hide behind my stand!

If I remember right it’s been a couple of years, I think I ordered it from Advanced acrylics off eBay. I think it’s 12 gallons.

I'm loving the build! I've got a SCA 66g, 4" shorter than yours, waiting to get set up. I love the dimensions of the tank, especially the 24" front to back. I've got an 8bulb ATI going over top with a reefbrite attached. Have you had any heat issues with the T5s? Also what pump are you using to feed the ATS? I have the small Coralvue one and trying to decide if I should get a separate pump or build a manifold.

No heat issues with the T fives. I’m also running a 36 inch T5 fixture. I started off with the 24 inch eight bulb. Sicce 1.5 to feed the ATS. And thank you for the compliments.

Here’s the two frag rocks currently under each Noopsyche 75 watt LED. I wanted to go ahead and add these photos, to get a before photo so I can keep track of what happens on with the growth. A mix of SPS and LPS. LEDS installed on 9/25/21. iPhone pics:

How are the exhaust fans working out? I’m thinking of doing those for my build.

 

[RedReefer]

I’ve been running the same exhaust fan for a little over two years now. I do have a back up in the garage. So far as long as the dust is cleaned from them monthly there’s just a little rust on them. I can say they’re working out great.

Noopsyche K7 V3 (75 watt) LED update:
So far I’m seeing growth. Here are some photos with just the two Noopsyche LED fixtures running. I have them running SPS/LPS mode. I programmed them on day one and have never had to go back and reprogram anything. The two 75 watt Noopsyche LEDs run around 11 hours a day. My conclusion is these are very good point source with good spread LED fixtures. For quality and price tag they are hard to beat. The first two photos are the same frags that are closest to the Noopsyche LEDs.
