  1. The Controller

    I have not said much about the controller I am using. So I figured I will give it a go here. The screenshots here were done from an iPad. The controller tailors the web pages to the device so the screens will be different on a computer or phone. The controller I am using is the Archon. It is Digital Aquatics latest controller release. It is completely web based. It also has WiFi right out of the box. There are no additional module needed for WiFi. The head unit has 2 ports that can be either pH ...

  2. At the Six Month Mark

    It will be six months since I added water to the tank on the 22nd of this month. The latest thing to happen was an outbreak on cyano. It appears to be declining. I added some cheato to the refugium section about 3 weeks back. I think that may be the major reason for the decline. I have a light that I purchased from BML that is for lighting the refugium. They have got out of the aquarium lighting business since my purchase. This is a shame since the light appears to be of good quality. It is running ...
  3. 3 Month Update

    It has been about 3 months since I filled the tank with water. A couple of weeks back I went to one of the local fish stores and got some sand and a rock with some coralline alga on it from one if their tanks. I was willing to pay for it but they said it was not enough to charge me for it. They said to just remember where I got it. Kudos to them I will defiantly go back. I also added 3 turbo snails at that point. There was some alga starting to grow on the rocks.

  4. Corner Boxes for The Sump

    I decided to try and make a couple of corner boxes for the sump that I could used to either add media or add some small live rock. The drain manifold would output into these before entering the compartment the boxes are in. I have little room so I decided to make them in the shape of a triangle. Since the sump is currently in use I did not make the base portion at the bottom of the boxes yet. I will have to make these when I pull the sump to finish the drain manifold. Below is a photo of the parts ...
  5. 3 Week Update on Tank

    It has been 3 weeks since I filled the tank with water so I thought I would give an update. I have had no issue with the tank itself. There are 2 MP10's for flow. I have a Avast Marine calcium reactor kit, Avast Marine biopellet reactor kit both with Sicce Syncra 1.0 pumps and a TLF 150 reactor. The return pump is a Sicce Syncra 3.0. The return manifold has 5 output ports with 1/4 valves. Four are in use with the current setup. I was going for 6 outputs but had to remove one to be able to remove ...
