Thank you!

I should have 80lbs of reef saver, a new eb8 and a few other goodies for the 90 today!

Super clean rock, but it is going to need alot of modifications to make it look the way I envisioned, I am thinking of using jurassic gel/ hydraulic cement and fiberglass rods to achieve the structure I want.A quick shot of installing some of the electronics, now the apex base is in my new cabinet, I got an extra temp probe and a pm2. The plan is to run both tanks on one apex and then eventually get the salinity probe.

Is anyone looking at this ?

Is the rock mounted on something to keep it off the bottom or do you just have small points of contact? Your build is looking great! Are you going to the swap tomorrow?

Jstn · Nov 21, 2014

I glued a rock on the underside to keep it up, its one piece now. I need to build the branch segment. I plan on going to the frag swap.

Got some LED strips from IKEA, don't mind the wire mess, I plan on organizing everything once I get everything installed.

Also moved my blue flasher to the new tank last night.

That looks awesome, I read the whole thing. You should always continue your build thread even if no one comments

Thanks, salt is too much of who I am, I couldnt if I wanted too!

So moved the corris over, he is doing well and getting along with my leopards, I added a koletang which is super healthy and active after a 4 week QT. In the QT I have a yellow tang that has started to develop ich, no biggie I added cupramine to combat it.

I reduced the photoperiod of my lights down to 12 hrs from 16 to help destress the corals, I am experiencing some super slow STN partially from high salinity which I have since corrected. I am also starting a hybrid light build, I purchased 4 nanobox reef v3 pucks!
