Fighting another bout of Cyano, not as bad as the first one few weeks ago but still frustrated it came back. This round I’m adding a protein skimmer this week and also starting to question upgrading my wavemaker. I seem to be getting some dead spots despite changing the wavemaker positions so not sure if I need something stronger? I have a 1500gph Hygger DC, and considering upgrading to an AI Nero 3, which is what I initially wanted but hesitated bc of price. Any thoughts?
Week 7-10 was more learning. First time drip acclimating a fish! Understanding consumption, local LFS mixed feedback and getting rid of diatoms. Hermits are not friends- one is enough. More than one is a bad idea! Shrimp are not to be feared if you acclimate properly and when you add pods make sure skimmers and wavemakers are off! 10 weeks in, 1 fish and a few corals. Definitely learning a lot!
Cycle complete on the experiment! Added CUC and my first ever corals last night!! Also upgraded water flow from the nano internal skimmer to Fluval HOB- I didn’t like the space the skimmer was taking up and the HOB gives me more flexibility with carbon filtration option. Upgrade lighting arriving tomorrow!
Isealive nano roller mat and the Sicce 150 skimmer in the back of my biocube 32 had been crushing it for my filtration and stability in the tank. Just thought I’d share if anyone is trying to figure out how to lay out their AIOs
A few items showed up for the new build… Reef Savvy 600g display. Geo’s Reef CaRx, KalkRx, and Ozone Rx. Dual Abyzz A200 pumps. Royal Exclusive Bubble king DeLuxe 300 skimmer and fleece roller. Advance Acrylics custom occ sump.
Coffee
My protein skimmer prepared me a coffee after tuition :D
Dropped my collection cup due to a case of the butter fingers and broke it. Did my best to superglue it back together, now let's see if she holds. I can't find a replacement cup for this skimmer anywhere, I'll have to diy one if needed.
Running out of plugs pretty quick! Still not set up the 4+2 reefdose heads or even turned skimmer on!
