Lasses Dream Build

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Did I show you one of my children of the sea. 1 of 29 dendronephthya colonies

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

The student has become the master. ....... walk away.......walk away.......

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Lasse, have you seen Tecate beer commercial

I think I'm going to do it to my stomach, when BBQ. Heeee

You have to teach @Sallstrom :) Congratulations.

When new aquarium running. I let him know few weeks ago. No atrophy noticeable at this time. I found a trigger mechanism in them, keeps open much longer,,so they eat longer and hopefully live.

How is the other Euphyllia doing, no spreading brown jelly?

 

[Lasse]

Have not seen any brown jelly - not even withe the ones I lost. I have lost one head since I took away my file fish. I still not know if he/she was the cause or if it only eat already damaged tissues

My bad, I thought I had read you took the torch out because you had seen some brown jelly on what was left. Was wondering if it had spread to your other Euphyllia that was under the weather. Luckily that is impossible. I once got brown jelly on a new animal (transport damage) which I couldn't stop from spreading to a previously healthy animal I had for at least 5 years. (I took out half the heads on that animal before it stopped).

Now it slowly become better - my montipora that had stop to grow have slowly start again - the euphyllia looks good. One of the clams have got some problems with the mantle on one of the sides. Will see whats happens.

What is that:)????

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Slowly, slowly

Sincerely Lasse

WOW, very nice. You did it!!! Sir Lasse

 

[Lasse]

What is that:)????

It's my new cabinet with all controlling equipment. Tierd of all cables. Tierd of 15 DC adapters. I'm not finished yet.

I see it now - I couldn't recognize the coiled 'cord protectors' before :). nice looking

 

[Lasse]

Some new pictures - things start to be better and I got another center piece

​

There was not any good spots for my Ricordea before but this have been with for more than 2.5 years and its lovly. I have 2 more large ones and 3 babies. Just above this - I have a very dense and good euphyllia.

​

In the middle of this FTS you can see the euphyllia above but for nearly 3 years ago

​

Some other pictures from yesterday

And a new video

[Lasse]

Sorry - I post the wrong video :mad: - It is fixed now :) - but in the wrong thread :mad: - fixed backo_O

I think you may be getting the hang of all this aquarium stuff. Looks absolutely amazing.
I am looking forward to a detailed discussion of switching to the Powerhub setup! Really curious as to how that works and how tricky it is.

Following along.

 

[Lasse]

I have not been so active here for a short period but it has been as they say - life happens. I´m sorry to say that I have of some reasons lost my banded pipe fish. It just get shy and disappeared a couple of days later. It has been with me for more than 2 years - sad. The corals seems to feel better, I can see growth on most of them and the clams - they just grow and grow and.....

During this time - I have worked with my new cabinet and it is mostly up and running now. There is some things that will add later as a possibility to run some of the Jebao pumps on 1-10 V from the computer.

This is my switch set up for the moment

​

The main idea is that I should be able to switch on or off every single equipment I run

Before I did this re build - I had around 20 different power adapters hanging around in my sump cabinet, in a moist and warm environment. All of my computer equipment was there to. Now everything is situated in a dry environment and a fan make it cooler.

From the cabinet

Some random pictures of details

​

This probe is the air temperature/humidity probe

From the sump cabinet

​

Kolkälla = Carbon source -> in this case pure ethanol. I use it below the DSB for denitrification

From my probes early in the morning, light just on

​

The salinity shows 33 PSU but there is some indications that it shows around 2 PSU too low. I use it as a relative source, not as a an absolute. The pH is in this morning - here is last 24 hours

​

I dose Triton 3a+3b between 22:00 and 12:00 - therefore the sawtooth pattern during night

​

My dosing regime.

​

Pump 13-16 are pumps that I use in a virtual way. p13 is the base for my dose of Triton Core 7 3a+3b. It is combined with a timer in a Programming logic slot and manage my switch 64. my real core 7 3a+3b pump is number 3 and it is programmed to react on index 64 (switch 64)

​

The flowrate of both the virtual and the real is the same (9 ml/minute) - therefor will the fill lewel be the right one for pump 3. however daily and days left will not be calculated - but I can live with that.

Pump 15 is connected to my top of pump an react to the switch that manage this pump (index 5 in my case) In this way I can know how much top of I use and how much is left. I have a larger dosing pump that is my top off pump and I have calibrate it - the virtual pump give me a good picture of how much Top Off water is left

Pump 16 is connected to the switch responsible for the flow through my DSB.

The flow is much higher than the program admit but I did a calibration that show that my pump give me 660 ml/minute. I put in 66 ml/minute and after that use a teen factor in my calculations. if I want a dose of 800 ml - I fill 80 ml and if I read a daily dose of 11520 ml/day - I know that it is 10 times higher - around 115 l/day

​

That´s all for this day

Sincerely Lasse

Observe - you do not need all of these technical equipment's in order to have a good reef tank - but it is very funny to be a technical nerd sometimes ;) and play the whole deck of cards
