ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

JoJo running the same model? Anyone with an Ender-3 Max Neo :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Oh, sorry I thought that was lights.

I didn't have any problems putting mine together. Make sure it's not upside down or backwards?

 

[tbrown]

I think originally I tried attaching mine backwards and it didn't work.

 

[JoJosReef]

What is an Ender Max?... What is a gantry screw!?.. yeah, I don't think I can help you guys.

Crisis averted, after further inspection, a little umph was required and all is well :grinning-face-with-big-eyes:

I installed one of the XF330s and removed one Amazon Special. Currently running XF330 and Icecap 2K plus an Amazon Special (which will be removed when I get around to installing the second XF330 and the other WaveEngine).

I don't like how it automatically makes Amazon a link to Amazon. It makes everyone think I'm linking a product when, in fact, I'm not linking anything - Amazon is.

Plus I snowed the tank since I stirred up some stuff when working in the tank.

Started the thread for the Coralland.

Oh boy, I'm going to be busy tomorrow I think... I walked out the door tonight and almost tripped!

A brand new Coralland 8 gallon all-in-one!

@IOAOI it arrived safe and appears unbroken! Very well packed. I'll bring it out of the box tomorrow hopefully.

free demo?

free demo?

I assume you're asking if this is a test product? No, this is not one of the free test products.

that was the question.

So I'm trying to figure out the best gyre flow setting. I've got the 330 on the left side and the 2k on the right side. Currently I have them set at "Random" but I'm considering changing them to "Ocean Swell". Thoughts?

I'm also going to be adding a second 330 (probably on the back, otherwise I'll put it on the right with the 2k) but that's going to take an hour or more to get set up because it involves adding the second WaveEngine which I'll do this weekend (and the XD) when I hopefully have a few hours of free time.

Messing around with the Hydros app at work because what else am I supposed to do while between meetings, right?

Anyway, I think I can make the doser run forward and backward both by making two alternating schedules. That would mean making a "Feed" dose schedule and a "Rinse" dose schedule. So I can run Feed for 100 mL (or whatever), and then Rinse for the same mL and use fresh mixed saltwater for the rinse and dose phyto/pods with the Minnow if I wanted to.

Or, I can work on an Alkalinity testing regimen with the Minnow.

I'll do some realtime tests this weekend (hopefully) and figure out what I want to do and if I can truly make the dosers run backwards.

I don't like how it automatically makes Amazon a link to Amazon. It makes everyone think I'm linking a product when, in fact, I'm not linking anything - Amazon is.

I can paste links from a browser but the amazon app always just links to Amazon not a product.

Also, Reef Plantation order placed for some f/2 (more potent - 1 mL per 2.5 L) and for some nannochloropsis to start growing Phyto.

 

[tbrown]

I forgot to mention, I got home from work yesterday and the Neptune Sky arrived! Haven't had a chance to unbox it yet and I won't likely be home tonight until around 8 or 9 but tomorrow is my work from home morning.

Plan for tomorrow:

Make RO
Maybe sell a Joker Nems
Meetings, meetings, NEO lunch for my new guy
Work on fish tank stuff

 

[tbrown]

Didn't end up catching the Nem, got called into a couple of meetings but I got my F/2 saltwater mixed so when the Phyto and f/2 arrives I can go ahead and start growing.

 

[tbrown]

Reef Plantation f/2 and Phyto shipped.

Grow lights and air splitter arrived. Gathering 32oz and half gallon jugs for Phyto and then I've got a couple of 1.5 gallon jugs for pods.
