My 240g Tank Build thread

well...that makes no sense to me at all...but at least your tank isn't RO water :)

First I need to calibrate the probe, I did not do this when I got this setup used so I don't know how old it is either...
From Neptune's site:

5. Why are the pH and ORP readings on my AquaController are inaccurate or erratic?
If the serial cable is to be permanently attached between the AquaController and the PC, a Ground Isolated Serial Connector (SERIPC9) is recommended. The isolator will eliminate potential ground loops between the AquaController and the PC. Grounds loops may cause erratic and inaccurate pH and ORP readings. The ground isolated serial connector is available from either your local aquarium shop or from Neptune Systems directly

Makes a little more sense. I'll trust that the people at Neptune know what they're about :)

So thats your tank live? Pretty sweet man. Wish I could do that with mine!

On another note the tank looks a little dark over on your rock pile where most of your corals are, whats up with that?

Yes tank view is live. I think there is a 5 second delay or so is all.
Lights are currently off that is just natural lighting coming in thru the windows. The lights start coming on 3p CST and stage on left to right in 15 minute increments. The VHO come on at 5p.

One of the future projects will to be finish cleaning up the wires :D

All very awesome man. I think that the live cam/the stained glass is great. The only thing I would have done different is to have had easier access to the back of the tank.

 

[LegoZ81]

personally I am happy with this setup as I have access from the front, sides and rear. with the canopy on my old tank that basically was not removable due to the weight/size and all of the lighting, i only had access from the front. so in all reality this is better than the last setup :D

 

[benny z]

boy if that's really your excuse, someone needs to start working out.

:p

j/k buddy

 

[LegoZ81]

dude the canopy is out in the open so you can come try to pick it up! lol

 

[LegoZ81]

finished sanding and primed wall! :D

Stained glass looks great. Which vho do you like better super actinic or 454?

 

[nayrgaijin]

Yeah the stained glass is an awesome idea! Looks so good!

 

[LegoZ81]

454 as it is SO crazy blue! but the super act still brings things to the party for greens and yellows.

 

[twinspots_goby]

looks sweet! Excellent job Louis.
