Tunze 6060 on 7091 controller

r u sure it is a tunze stream 6060 on a 7091 controller? coz i thought the 6060 is non-controllable?

nevertheless, a nice tank.

I believe Kevin meant 6000.

Nice rescape Kevin! I like how your green cap has started to swirl.

Tank size: 30Gal

Partition to build a Visual 1.5 cube with excess as sump.

Equipment: -Tunze 6000 on 7091 controller

50% and 100% pulse at 5 seconds interval

-Squid with 1500l/hr powerhead for return

-Prizm skimmer

Lighting : 2sets 0f 3x24w T5

(retrofit by Dr. Evil)

2x20k, 2x10k, 2xactinic blue

As i have requested for 2 power cords on each light set. I can stagger

the lighting hours. Total light hours is 10.

Cooling : 1x AC fan and air con at night

temp not higher than 28.3 degrees

( There is no need for chiller with T5 as long as you don't mind the noise

from the fan)

Maintenance: -Water change of 30% every fortnight. Tropic marine salt only.

-Water change of 50% every 4th change.

-Top up water with calcium buffer and KH builder on alternate

evenings.

- clean skimmer every fortnight.

Parameters : -calcium at 400-450 ppm

- Kh at 9-10 dkh

- I sometimes observe my coraline algae for signs of deficiency in

calcium and KH

- 1.024 sv gravity

- others not measured

Other additives - FORM by Marc Weiss but i think this product is crap and i am

using it only because i bought it.

- iodide by seachem

- strontium by seachem

Other inhabitant- yellow zebrasome

- amber blenny

- 3 astrea snails

- 1 big club dwarf hermit from Danano

- 2 peppermint shrimps

The 2 fish are self sufficient and stay fat primarily on algae found on life rock. I have not fed them for almost half a year.

correction. Tunze 6000.

One tunze is more than enough current for my tank. I strongly recommend to even 2 footers. Cuts out the need to plant powerheads all over the tank.

Lime green cap was from a reefer. You would know who if you had been observing the forum

I almost killed it when my 150w MH burned a hole in the center. Fortunately it has recovered and grown. Otherwise i ought to be shot

Has since replaced the MH with 6x 24w T5

Nice rescape Kevin! I like how your green cap has started to swirl.

You do? Me too! Very nice indeed!
