  1. What's the bright yellow item that looks to be in the center of the tank? Looks crazy bright

    Neon Green Nepthea.

    Sorry it looks yellow but its hard to correct colors with LEDs so since it was a fish video I tried my best to match them.

  2. Everything is doing great. I am still slacking on the sides of my stand.

    My calcium reactor is finally dialed in. I'm dosing 6mL of vodka daily so I can feed my fish all I want. I am currently having an issue with my skimmer. It's making a loud whining noise but thankfully BRS had the impeller I needed for $30 where everyone else has it for $100.

    I want to get 1 more BML strip. I'm hoping to pick up a 20k XB in June since it's suppose to replicate 20k metal halide. I have just enough room for 1 more strip on my new light setup.

    I think after the BML that'll be it for equipment and fish for me.

    With C4 around the corner I am looking forward to buying a bunch of frags.

    Here's a quick vid of feeding time.

  3. Here is the final product. I really like it. Much closer to the tank but not in the way when I need to feed and can be slid back if I need to do anything major in the tank.

    Still waiting on getting my last BML strip back that had a cracked lens so hopefully I get it tonight.

    I also need to cover the old holes and repaint.

  4. My tank is doing very good now. I am no longer chasing alk/ca numbers with my calcium reactor.

    I did a very through cleaning every week during February of my sump and display sand.

    I dosed some lanthanum chloride and it's really helped beat the algae back. I am going back to vodka dosing as I found this worked the best.

    Last nights project involved removing my floating canopy.

    I've decided that with a rimless tank it just closed it off too much for my taste.

    I now have 3 BML strips so I will just have them hanging off 2 pipes that I'm painting black and will be secured to my concrete stand top.

    I need to contact BML and see how much it'll cost to replace the acrylic strip since it cracked in half from being so brittle.

    I hope to have the pipes in and lights hung tonight so stay tuned.

  5. Well what sucks is you can't own under the leasing term and you have to deal with someone called a "Land Lord" who gave himself this ridiculous title and the only reason the place is being fumigated is because the city sent a final notice letter that legal action would be taken. If it was the Lord's choice this tank would never be fallow. Definitely a fixer up in Crestview that 2 guys with short shorts can flip.
