Cant get any decent shots of the sps... and I had a fluval crap strip before, 2 months old but they are improving. Loving the hydras for sure.

Got off my butt this weekend and today... only to sit back on it and watch paint dry...

2 coats of killz.

And now 2 coats of rustoleum outdoor semi gloss for the finish... who knows... maybe I'll start prepping to mount it tonight too... but its doubtful...

I am a slipper collector / connoisseur. These are reaching retirement. They are now my "take the trash and dog out slippers"

Babies growing

Also in the midst of the canopy install...

And T-minus 3 days until fish get into their new home in the 125g. Stoaked.

Finally done. Not perfect... but got the main concept of what I had in mind. And man it's awesome being able to just lift the lid up and rest it against the wall to clean / maintenance.

Super happy right now.

So I am confused. Left hydra is parent, right is child, same schedule and settings... left is more blue, right is more purple... what the heck is going on?

 

[Fudsey]

Strange???

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Gonna try to set them to individual after work today rather than parent and child and cross my fingers.

We shall see.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

I turned all colors to 0 on the AI smartapp, and then individually turned each color up.

The parent Hydra (right side) is not emitting the regular blue light. ;Muted All other spectrums operating normally.

Sigh....

That bites... Have you tried resetting it?

No, but whats weird is the child light is working properly as I adjust. The one thats missing the blues is the parent. I guess it couldn't hurt, I'll try factory reset when I get home. Bleh.

I was gonna do it yesterday but got caught up doing other maintenance and hit the LFS for some PraziPro to give the fish a bath in it before they go into the DT tonight/tomorrow.

My Canister that is running the new DT thats fallow (has inverts tho) has been established for 7 months. I am thinking I shouldn't even see a spike when I start adding fish.

The blue Damsel, 6 line wrasse, and my new Mandarin are goin in first. Tonight is double checking time on all the water parameters and dosing accordingly in preparation for the big day tomorrow! It's gonna bee so hard to wait till tomorrow though. Today is officially my Fallow Graduation, Day 76.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Call a.i... have a factory reset and claim files in case reboot doesnt work. Been scrubbing the DT getting it ready for fish in the next week.

Dosed prazipro in the HT with all the fish. 24hrs enough or should I give it a few days?

Meh... I can wait another week if needed. It's been 2.5 months... no biggy for another week I suppose.
