nice build so far. Are you medicating any of your quarantine fish as a precaution?
Tank looks great man. It’s finally getting there after everything.
How are things in qt?
So the 19th the fish come out of qt and are looking great!! What will be going in is an orange shoulder, yellow tang, purple dottyback, sailfin tang, and six line.
On another note the display tank has finally settled in and looks amazing. Water is so clear doesn’t look like anything is in it. I am installing the conduit next weekend for the internet so I will finally be able to get everything programmed and setup properly!! While I have the trenching machine I’m going to get the floor drain pipe ran outside and installed to the catch basin box.
Also will be talking with my buddy to try and setup a date to get to the acrylic place and get my stuff cut. After the sump is done I will plumbing the frag tank in with the display. I have broke down the display for now and all the coral was put in the display.
I’m considering running a chiller in line because the temp has been a bit of a challenge with t5’s running. I need to get the vent fan figured out as it isn’t working as I planned. Sounds weird but I need a smaller fan to fit right over the exhaust pipe vs th e 6” fan. The box I built is actually working against me causing the air to blow back in vs exhausting outside.
Looking great!
Can you post a pic with your light set up? Maybe we can give some suggestions on cooling to help you avoid having to run a chiller.
It’s a led t5 hybrid. My hood has 2 sets of fans both blowing in and the one exit fan blowing out threw vent pipe running outside. I did have Leds on for 10 hrs and t5’s on 8. Now t5’s on for 5 and is better.
It’s hard to see the exit vent fan but it’s up top back of hood
Light fixture consists of 3 radion g3 pros’s, and 4 80 watt t5’s.
Is it possible for you to install fans to the panel which the lights hang on? Fans that would be mounted and pull the air out of the lighted area? I've done this previously using 120mm computer fans with a decent amount of cfm.
There is an exhaust pipe already that is vented to the outside. I put that in when i built the house. The problem is that the fan is too big.... sound weird but it makes sense. The fan box is too small for that 6” fan that’s there so it works against itself and doesn’t exhaust the rather it forces it back in. I need to reconfigure that box/ fan combo.
wow. that was an amazing 30 pages I just read. This is awesome!!
Do you have any good resources for fish QT procedures? I live in a city with no fish stores, so I'll be ordering everything and want to set up a solid fish and coral quarantine.
