AndrewSPS Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 So I like having the vortechs on the back wall and I’m currently running them at 55% on reef crest. The tank is 36x24x24. Should I try to keep on ramping them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Added 4 shave brushes tonight. Dragons breath is going well and the orange tips are coming in better since I got them a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 The bioload isn’t large enough for the skimmer to produce some thick skimmate but it’s finally getting dialed in. This skimmer produces some serious foam so the water level needs to be pretty low in the body until I can adjust the air intake with a valve.

Here’s some natural sunlight pictures of my tank . Finally getting around to this control board today. The stand is being extended on the side to allow for the board to better sit as well future additions. Also did some 2am BRS shopping last night and picked up a WiFi dongle for the kessil lights.

AndrewSPS Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 thank you! I would redo a few things but I’m always able to with the use of unions. Eventually I’ll get a nicer sump with a built in roller mat but this setup works for now. I’ll have some more pictures later when everything opens up Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSPS Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 WiFi dongle arrived for the kessils. One downside is the apex doesn’t allow for any controlling with the 360xs so this is required for any controllability. Leaving it pretty basic except for sunrise/sunset effect. A backup APC will be here this week as well to connect my power bars too. This will allow the apex to send alerts if the power is ever out. The tank can run for around 30-40 minutes at full power on the apc giving me enough time to get home to get the generator running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewSPS Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) And the stand is finished. The top shelf will either house the trident or an iPad for tank control.
