floating canopy would work nice. I still toy with the canopy to control light spill, but family members say it doesn't bother them. Lights are lower by 7pm to mostly blues. Good luck with your RSR 650P!nice story,
I am also setting up a RS 650P beautiful tanks right. mine is going slow as I could not make up my mind on the plumbing. I have had it more then an month now maybe longer and it's still not wet.
love the light bar that is going to be very nice in your new house.
my tank sets between two sections of the house one has really high ceiling the other average luckly I have a nice fux beam I can hang the lights from. but thinking of a "floating canopy" to help with light spill.
Equipment Purchased:
This will be a boring post, but here is the equipment I purchased. I promise sump pics after I get a full tank shot with coral. Adding coral will be next.
Time to purchase equipment. I’m not including pictures as they are all on the vendor’s websites mentioned below. When I started the tank and needed to add ALK/CA I started with the kalk reactor. I don’t trust it being attached to the ATO as it’s not as consistent as weather changes. I used a BRS 50ml loser on a schedule. I always made sure the dosage was below what was needed by the ATO. Once I out grew the kalk stirrer I started using ESV 2 part.
Neptune Apex - oh gosh! Where do I start? I’m going to save the apex setup until later in the build. I have a ridiculous system with control on everything. Details later.
