So clean, sleek.
 
Beautiful @JohnnyTabasco that tank is looking amazing ! [emoji12] Can I ask something, do you regret having a DT of the ADA 60p ? Or do you wish you gotten a larger tank , for your DT?
Hey thanks! If I had the room maybe I would have gotten a bigger tank. But I also like the challenge of the limited space.
Are you thinking of starting a tank with the 60p?
 
Update time.

I had some issues with my new hydra... one being the light spill - neither me or my girlfriend enjoy being blinded. And two being algae growth.
I think it's way too hard to figure out what settings to run.
Well we slowed the light spill issue and here is some random pictures I shot of the build. We used an old warehouse lamp.

That's genius.

No not a 60p . I won a FREE IM 30L EXT tank and I am actually thinking of doing a build thread with it. And not continue on with my Standard box frame 75g build. But doing a high end and high quality build with the IM 30L EXT tank that I won.. so it would be a down size/upgrade at the same time !
 
Happy holidays everyone!

I did a little Christmas cleanup on the tank.

The tank has been going through a rough summer.
First I was I surprised by a heatwave here in Denmark. The tank was boiling for a couple of days when I was away. After that all calcification stopped causing my alk to go from 8 to 12...
I took me a long time to get that under control - that obviously shows on the corals.
But the good news is that every thing is growing back and coloring up again.
Now my alk is steady at 7.6.

Here are some before and after shots... My DSLP skills are limited, so bare with me.

Before

I removed much of the algae and created a third rock structure to house some left over corals.

After
