I think this will be a cool tread! (Fingers crossed)

I don’t care how hard you are working on your tank... there are a lot of...come on now... : ) a lot of boring days : ) You just don’t get to do much on a daily basis... lol... monthly basis... that really makes a difference. Occasionally... you do get to do something really cool! : )

The pics below are what I got to do today! : ) My lighting just became awesome!!! I have plans to make it better still (see my build thread : ) These lights are 9” above the water. I just added an “AquaticLife 61" T5HO X18 Hybrid NON-Dimmable Fixture” today. : ) The LEDs in the center are; 2 Hydra 32 HDs and 1 Hydra 26 (Very center)

Show it off!!! What did you do today? Let me learn from you!!!!!!,

(pics count!)

Changed out filter docks and added another Orphek light bar

Vetteguy how did you hang your orpheks? I have one full sized V4. I can’t drill my ceiling. Are two brackets strong enough to hang on glass?
 
I use canopys and use bars on them to support lights
You can make one out of 1” pvc and elbows like a clothes rack and hang it on the rack which is also waterproof
 
Got a well needed update on a light!

The lagoon is going to be rocking a Kessil AP9X now

Also got a baby sunkist bounce on the deal LOL
 
I also change out the light on my tank. I went with the AquaticLife HM Electronics CoreXC Wireless Marine/Reef LED. Seems like a really nice quality light. I’ll keep posting the progress with it on my build.
 
Changed out filter socks, and did my Sunday morning ritual with my 10 gallon wager change.

Beautiful aquarium! Nice work! I recently added the aquatic life non dimmable 48" hybrid fixture over my RSR 350. Running two hydra 26's as well. Today I did a water change, changed my filter sock, scrubbed the glass, cleaned my Skimz Montzer 167 skimmer cup and tested for phosphates and nitrates. Up until a few weeks ago my phosphates were 0.0 using the Hanna ULR checker. I started dosing reef roids 3x/week, slight increase in algae on the glass, but today phosphates were .05, nitrates were about 10 (API), Alk 9.0, Calc 480.

I GOT UP EARLY!!! Though these tasks have gotten easier with freshly mixed salt water pumped from storage directly into the sump.

Have a great day.
