Looks great and you're off to a great start. Slow and steady wins the race.

Nice tank!

Branespikin · Mar 17, 2016

Its getting there. Have been busy with work and the baby so have not had any time to work on the tank. Thsts why im trying to get everything perfect and automated as possible. ATO containers are in fabrication DOS on the way so until these dont come i really wont do anything.

Does your Radion Gen3 come with the new style power supply?

Branespikin · Apr 30, 2016

Not sure how the new style looks compared to the old?!

Bracka345 · Apr 30, 2016

The power supply of the older ones are white aluminum housing and the new ones are like oversized laptop power supplies.

Branespikin · Apr 30, 2016

I git the white ones. I guess old ones

Bracka345 · Apr 30, 2016

Ok. Thanks!

I like the scape!

Branespikin · Apr 30, 2016

Thanks- i moved a few shelves around a bit but basically looks the same. Another week or two and should get it up and running.

Look at this nice package i reveived in the mail

Finally got around to setting up the tank. While my wife and kid are gone for vacation in the next 3 weeks and need to get the tank up and running. I was doing all electrical today. I think i got every wire hooked up and tucked away. Still a lil fine tunning to do but i think im good. I put my apex and cables behind a panel i made. Think im going to get an ipad or some tablet and mount it on the panel.
Im planning on going with AquaForest and their method. I will be ordering tonight

Branespikin · Aug 27, 2016

Well here we go. Aquascape all done sand is in

Got the rodi setup under kitchen cabinet and slowly filling the tank up with RODI water. Ill add the salt later when its full. Finally after about a year im going to be up and running again. It was a long way to get here

This is Aquaroche rock. A french company makes this but noone really imports this anymore. I was able to find a guy who had some left over and bought it from him. Its ceramic handmade.
