I’m Bored Build

[derrick orosz]

Tank has been cycling for 10 days now.... this is boring!!!
I spent last week in Punta Cana and brought home about 10lbs of ocean sand which I added to the tank this morning

Trying to plan out my I’ll be adding. I’m thinking
Purple tang
Black tang
Premium Picasso clown pair
A couple gobies
A cool wrasse or two
Also really considering a zebra eel

Highly recommend the zebra eel! Your rock “dens” would be perfect for it.

Picked up a second ai prime HD tonight and got the lights mounted... might need a third but we shall see.

What’s the recommendation for light schedule? I have them coming on a 7 am and slowly ramping up over 4 hours until 11am then running for 6 hours until starting to ramp down in the evening...

Picked up a couple things at the frag show today... some acans, candy canes, one of my favs- small jack-o’-lantern lepto, a nice big gold clam and 3 mangroves I put in the overflow.

Everything was doing great until last night when one of my two nems decided to sit on a power head
Yesterday I emptied the skimmer cup luckley as it’s half full over night with chunks of the nem. Water kinda cloudy but not to bad. I’ll do a water change tonight and change my gfo/ carbon and filter floss and hopefully everything is ok

Picked up a snow flake eel this morning from big als

When do you have to worry about it eating your other fish??? The kids would get a blast if i could stock an eel.

Get a zebra eel. They don’t need a huge amount of room and won’t eat tankmates.

So far he hasn’t even looked at my other fish or pistol shrimp. Swims around very actively. I bought some jumbo shrimp from sobeys the other day and he devoured one

 

[derrick orosz]

Added some acans and Duncan’s this morning... I’m not very good at taking it slow

Went to big als this morning , got 2 pails of salt , two part calcium and alk, flake food, a dozen snails and a green acro of some sort. Wasn’t much to chose from in terms of coral but everything was 25% off

 

[Kyle1970]

Cool, that’s what I was thinking. Thanks!
It’s amazing how quickly so many can show up... I swear a couple days a go there was none and now my sump is covered

 

[derrick orosz]

So I currently have two ai prime HDs on the tank... I think I’m going to push those over to the side and add a hydra 26 in the middle.... if I can control it with the same app as my primes and link it together with them... any idea if I can ?

 

[EricTMah]

You should be able to link any of the AI HD series lights together.
It should be as simple as adding one light as the parent and the other two as child lights.
