    My new reef aquarium

    Hey Cory, thanks for the info. I believe all my levels are proper. I think it might just have to do with the placement and the lighting. So we shall see! I apparently was in the middle of writing last night when I stepped away and never pressed enter...:: So after doing some research I...

    My new reef aquarium

    So it has been a while since I've made a post update. I've been doing weekly to biweekly water changes and have been adding elemental reef building powder to my tank every time I think about it usually every five days. The tank seems to be doing very well and the corals look happy too. Take a...

    My new reef aquarium

    By the way that was about three hours ago. This is now... you can see a noticeable difference in the two images.

    My new reef aquarium

    So does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is occurring? Every so often my favia swells up like this... is this telling me that something is wrong, or is it just happy?

    Vega Lighting Schedule

    Ah I didn't even know it worked at all yet. The cloud and lightning doesn't seem to work yet either. I'll have to play with the lunar feature and check it out. I don't want to get too involved with the features since I go out of town and rely on my director to provide the light when I have it...

    Looks sharp. Let me know how you like the Hydra's. When I set up my 150 in the basement I might be looking to cut costs when it comes to the lights as well. Rather the Vega's I might look at the Hydra's as well.

    Vega Lighting Schedule

    Also, personally... I think 5% is overkill for moonlights. 1% should do the job. From my understanding moonlights should produce minimal visibility into the tank. Just enough to be able to see a bit going on but not light up the whole tank. Otherwise, you're leaving your lights on for a very...

    Vega Lighting Schedule

    Just about the same results as what you mentioned. When I purchased my Vega I purchased the new controller so I could get preset time settings. It seemed to work fairly well (although at that time I didn't have much in the tank maybe a 15 pounds of rock). I then heard about the Director and...

    Vega Lighting Schedule

    Hey everyone, Some I'm starting to get some algae outbreak. Very minor but some none the less. It's been a while since I've had an outbreak and I am trying to think of things I may have done differently. I've been keeping up with my water changes (about 10% every two weeks) and haven't been...

    New 300 gallon In-Wall tank build

    Please like all of my bug posts!!! Haha. It's very cool being able to control from a remote location. However, there are a ton of bugs as you are already aware. My lights go out when they should be on and on when they should be off. The clock still is glitchy too.

    New 300 gallon In-Wall tank build

    If only I had my 150 gallon set up already. I would have taken some of that off your hands!

    Also does anyone know why my favia has these lumps on the edges of it?

    My new reef aquarium

    Ok, so I did my water change today and added some reef builder to my new water. When I dumped it in there was some debris and I noticed the possible coral in question had shot a few more whiskers out. This is probably the best shot I have. Also my favia coral is starting to get homey on the...

    That might be a better picture. I didn't think aiptasia was pink though.

    My new reef aquarium

    So I was fortunate enough to fine a fellow reefer on craigslist that was willing to sell me green birdsnest and about five polyps of lunar zoa's for $25. So I've since added them to my tank after letting them float for about two hours and adding tank water every thirty minutes or so. The zoa's...
