I Will Go To Down To Lax ( Wholesaler / Retailer) This Weekend And Get Me Some Corals And My Electrician Is Adding Designated Switch Panel For My Lights And Pump. Does Anyone Heard Anything About Murph145 Tank?

 

[bullitr]

electrician finish all of my dedicated switch panel/ outlet. but one of my clams died today

.i will post picture later

 

[bullitr]

my electrician did the dedicated lines for the lights and for the pumps. unable to pick up some corals this weekend. will try next week

 

[bullitr]

i know this is boring for most but i am very excited. i will put all the powerheads this weekend and run the four metal halide when i get more corals. no sps yet mostly softy and lps

 

[bullitr]

i think i have a good foundation now ! a dedicated lines for pumps and lights. good lighting, good sump, good parameters and finally good flow with budget rebuild . i will continue to use my budget asm g4 maybe make it a recirculating mod and do the santa monica refugium type that a carl from -- did on his sump how i spent my daughters inheretance but for now my little skimmer is doing it's job and all of my xenias and my softies are loving it.This weekend i am going to los angeles fish retailer and hoping to get a lot of cheaper but good corals.

 

[bullitr]

wish me luck

 

[bullitr]

my starting point. picture was taken after i clean the tank 5 minutes ago. i will run the fourth metal halide without the lumenarc mini (back order). i wil get some corals tomorrow and shoot some close up pictures

test results today
salinity 1.27 per refractometer
calcium 400
alk 14
ph 8.4
after 8 hours of significant kalk addition
with lights off

i postponed the trip to lax today because of the water parameters are not the best this morning after i research the consequences of high alkalinity i have to postponed it. after all patience is the most important to this hobby.

I thought 12dKH was the max safe alkalinity?
might want to set the kalk reactor to mix less limewater into the topoff lol.. it should help.... or add lots more stony corals and that'll drop your dKH and calcium in a hurry lol.
Salinity is alittle high, I like to keep my tanks at 1.025 personally, but some like 1.026. 1.027 isn't too bad.. but you may have to drain alittle tank water to set off the top off to lower salinity, but at the same time you might want to turn off the kalk reactor so it doesn't flood limewater in there.
