Amazing tank.
Well done! looking good so far great to see bargains and sales on equipments. You can have the state of the art equipment for a great looking tank, but to me you can get similar great looking tanks on a budget
Just in, it had a good blast in front of the RW 15 to blow any crud off, thinking about polyps!
Eye opening specific gravity readings.. just received my new Hanna salinity tester and after calibration and taking a few measurements Im shocked at the results, I have a old hydrometer and a refractometer that I have been using for years which seemed accurate enough and for the most part they read practically identical however according to the Hanna my tanks are running 2 ppt low with readings around 32.9 ppt not the 35 ppt my other testers had indicated. My first thought was the Hanna had to be wrong but after referring to IO’s weight to volume ratios and carefully weighing salt and measuring out water to produce a 1.022 sg @ 77 deg calibration solution I’m now realizing my other testers are wrong and I have been running my tanks about 2 ppt lower than I thought no wonder I had been struggling to get Mg and calcium up! The Hanna is super easy to use and should simplify keeping my parameters in line.
Just started reading your build again and I had to share my same exact experience. I had TWO different refractometers reading close to the same that I thought were calibrated and trusted. I swore the new Hanna tester was wrong. However, I carefully re-calibrated both refractometers and found I was also WAY off on my salinity. I thought it was 1.026 when actually it was more like 1.022. Things in my tank started looking better after I slowly brought up the salinity.
Great looking tank and love the theme of less expensive thrills. I have also tried to keep a small budget and I shopped used for some items when possible. I traded an old bike for a Radion LED and I found an Apex lite local for $100 in my build.
thumbs up! nice work
Will be 1 year old in October
Oh my...
My LFS has 10 frags of the same magenta goni. And I'm stopping there after work today to grab LRS and Frozen cubes. I think u just sold me on getting one.
I went yesterday and they all sold they only had a green one left. Passed on it.It’s one of my favorite pieces =) bet your looking forward to a long weekend

Is that event in this build thread somewhere?Murphy’s Law right I had a green one that was doing great until my Mexican turbo pushed my Acan Echinata into it one night, the resulting carnage would have made a homicide detective cringe.. lol
