oh it does.

in my mind the two “fancy” things I have are my hydros and pumps, and my ats. ATS shouldn’t be fancy since it’s a tool for biology based nutrient export. But it is what it is.

controller was purchased for having some redundancy and a safety net. That and the wave engine is pretty sweet.

beyond that? RoDi, Rock, and biodiversity are the name of the game for

Homie talk! Listen to you. You doubt yourself more and anyone around you, doubts you. You know what you're doing. You could probably put on a clinic an inch wide and mile deep on many aspects. You've got this E.

i know that I have a limited knowledge and in the grand scheme of things I know nothing. Better to be an eternal student. (Looking at you Socrates)

but I’m sure you’re right. Just don’t feel comfortable making definitive statements until my display is up and running and looking like you and Jason’s.

i get there? I can act like I know what I’m doing.

yes I realize that.

and man I’ve been having fun. I love learning. I’ve had a blast researching. I love watching the 53.

i guess I don’t want to be looked at like I know what I’m doing until I have results in the 120. I realize this probably doesn’t make sense.

idk. I’m weird lol

Yeah. I guess I do know what I’m doing. At least academically.

I understand the relationship between kh, mag, and CA.

I have a passing understanding of the relationship between PO4 and NO3

I understand what causes Dinos and cyano.

I realize the importance of biodiversity in micro and macro fauna and how it affect the closed systems we operate.

i have peasants understanding of par and photosynthesis.

i guess I do know stuff lol

New plan. Setting up the 120. stop second guessing myself.

know I’ve got a light that’ll grow anything. Got nutrient export on lock. Just got to get a feel of where the system settles and adjust accordingly to maintain balance.

get scape figure out. Get MOAR rock. Get more biodiversity.

and get some more acros and try with a good light.

screw it. I know I can grow sps. Lps
and softies.

oh And the single hammer polyp is doing well.

all with sporadic water changes


Just want to get the freaking 120 set up. And to get my own water production set up.

Ssseweeeeettttt!!!!!!

yup yup.

going to try and get to lowes tomorrow to see how I’m going to hang this baby. Thinking I’ll put it over the 53 for now and move it to the 120 once it’s set up and running.

I’m convinced that I’ll never be able to justify the true “top of the line” gear that gets touted.

and that’s fine. Many ways to skin a cat or whatever that saying is.

and aww. Rusty is the same way. Weighted blankets have helped. Wrapped up in mine and he will actually sleep through a storm. Makes sense. It’s gotten me through the storms too
Most of my tanks life is ran on hob aqua clear and a protein skimmer no sump and amazon wave makers lol I’m def budget and it can be done
