FrankenTank is Cycled
but first some updates, the chiller I spent all that time hardpiping has been removed, it creates heat in the room which only works if the room air is being cycled which it is not at night. I run the aircon in the room 24/7 to maintain temp, its my office as well so I am there most of the time anyway. (you are welcome to convince me on a better solution)
I have added some livestock to the tank over the week:
1 orange spotted Blenny (friendly fish)
1 sand sifting goby
1 green clown goby
1 blue tang
1 copper band (eating mysis like a champ)
1 sand star
2 snails
1 boxer shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
2 medium hermit crabs
some corals
Equipment:
Lights - Orphek Atlantic
return pump - Jebao DCP5000
skimmer - Aqua-excel
wavemaker - who knows, cheapie thing while waiting for new ones
Monitoring - custom Arduino with probes (PH and temp so far)
next:
crossflow and wavemaker pumps (ordered)
diy refugium
auto topup
auto water change?
dosing system?
more automation
