  1. Jessy's Candyshop Cubed - The Intro

    Yes, hell hath frozen over. And yes I finally got another tank. It has been over a year and a half since I broke down my 150 Gallon Candyshop. It has been a long break but it has been good for me. I moved to a new apartment and have made room for a smaller tank. I decided on the Current Solana XL 60 cube.

  3. 17 gallon's lighting predicament

    So the DIY stunner strip was a failure. I gave it a chance, and the two daylight bulbs simply overpower the blue LED's.

    I decided on ditching the LEDs, and swapping one D-D aquablue + for an ATI blue plus. According to the PAR levels by Grimreefers, this will actually take away about 2 - 5% PAR overall, but give a nice actinic look.

    I tried the two daylights alone, and just couldn't force myself to like the aesthetics. A few of my mushrooms dissolved as well, so I ...

  5. New gear coming in

    This is where the project starts to get more fun for me. When goodies arrive in the mail.

    I had to send in one of my MP40w ES vortechs for repair, and that came back ready to use on the new tank. Something in the firmware had to be updated.

    Then I got this a very well packaged box from NextReef:
