my new baby... AKA The Café

[Lost in the Sauce]

Just got the new powerhead! I'm loving it. (And no, I don't work for McDonalds)

I love how small and compact it is! The flow is also really nice. I tried the "random flow", but the clowns didn't like it. -_- (So right now it is on mode 2, aka the "constant flow" setting)

Also recieved the kH and phosphate kits! Now I finally know where I stand...

Calcium: 400ppm-420ppm
kH: 200ppm
Phosphate: 0.25ppm



Thank you again @shadow_k!!!

200ppm is what, 11dKh?

Just had to add my second fan. One up, one down.

Summer is here.

Yeah I’m thinking I may need a clip on fan for the top. I really really don’t want to buy a chiller unless absolutely necessary

They may be asking for food

Is it weird that I’m actually looking forward to testing my tank and recording data, watching for trends?

@F i s h y walked me through the kits he gave me (they were extras) and I actually kinda liked helping him test his three tanks.

Yeah no that will not be happening.

I'm getting the attic and outside walls insulated in two weeks. I have about 1" left of blown in left. Area the tank sits could easily get 85.

Glad we got a good base line. A few things to tweak and tanks will be good to go...

Minus the nem in the HOB today it's always something. Half in half out the intake... chopped up pretty good...

Is it salvageable?

Magic carpet has decided it wants to be a rfa.

I'm a huge fan. Lfs brought in 3. I bought two, one for my dt and another for my buddies jbj20. I hid the last one... It may(probably is)still there!

I have come to the conclusion I don’t need more corals and it makes me sad

You're framing it wrong homie.

You don't need more corals, you want more corals so you need another tank. Sounds exciting that way. Win win
