My Reefing Chronicles 2

[Admiraltian]

Got this fm aquascapefix to try to secure my rockscape to prevent future collapse. Quite sticky and I had to mold it a few times to let it’s cools a bit before setting it on my scape. It even sticks to the cup I used and unable to get rid of. Good thing is on the hands when it dries up or harden and I can peel it off easily.

Recently I discovers a technique to take nicer photos of ur reef tank without the blue hue on it using iPhone. Maybe some of u iPhone experts already know. At least now I know why my pics so blue compared to other brand mobile phones.

Go to settings>general>accessibility>display accommodations 

Turn on color filters

Set to red/green filters. Protanopia

This setting works for me best. Color more true to what my eyes see. 

Here’s some photos I just took.

Just reef within ur means. Any other phone camera can take pics of ur tank. To each his own.

Added a new branch rock yesterday to elevate my torch to “display visibility”.

A reefer friend told me that it’s too high and it might get bleached by my ati. So I had to reposition it. So here’s how it look now.

Now the tip of the top is now bare. What i should put there? A table shape Acropora?

A nice aussie  piece I got from fnm.

Will update in due time after I have set it up.

[Admiraltian]

Fabricated 2 alu bars base on my design from Prestech and got 2 sets of steel wire handing kits from ez-buy for my new light sets.

Screw in the stubs for the wires.

Heres how it looked with the hanging wires.

[Admiraltian]

Got 3 sets of Inled R80 and line up together with the new fab alu bars and hanging kit.

Change out the counter sunk screws on the all the corner cover of the led to longer socket head screws.

The lights screwed to the bars.

[Admiraltian]

The vertical wire with the stopper end.

Slot in to the existing bracket I used for my ATI Sunpower.

Next, slot in the vertical to the horizontal wires.

And tada.....done!!

I purposely use my old ATI as support for the new led while doing the hanging up of the lights.

[Admiraltian]

Turn in the lights to test. 

The bar is made with counter ball slot holes so each light set’s position slightly adjustable.

Wow looking good. What brand of light is this?

So far ok. Can’t comment much as I hv only use for one week only. There’s 8 color channels. Still playing around with the settings.

Quiet Sunday night....enjoying a view of my tank.

[Admiraltian]

Glued some caribsea frag zone rubbles to my caribsea life rock branch and main rockscape.

Intend for more sps frags and mini sized colonies. 

Also added more zoas to my zoas garden rock.

From the side view.

Recently, changed my thermistor controller probe to plastic one. The old one is made of stainless stain but still rusted over time. Dunno if it’s contributing to the iron level in my tank as I didn’t run any test on it but did find my corals more green haha.

Some random top down shots. Colors getting back to normal after getting paler from the switch from t5ho to leds.

Took these shots during water change yesterday.
