Ty, I seen in the other thread someone said the Hungs rainbow explosion and the Hungs rainbow are the same. Do they look the same in person?

They are one and the same. I asked Hung himself and he confirmed. [emoji23]

Thats a bummer but I guess you got to awesome corals.

I'm in the works to get one piece to Hung since his died in his crash last year. [emoji16]

You were supposed to say “that’s what my wife calls me, does that count?”

Missed opportunity Bubba! I'm disappointed in you sir! [emoji17]

 

[FarmerTy]

Not too shabby for the first run. [emoji4]

Nice! You should make a video once you have it all setup and show how it works.

I'll make the video of setup and then the video of it in action for all to see. Its pretty neat with all the pumps pushing and pulling water out... Then the magnetic stirrer goes for a bit... Pretty cool and high techy.

Do you normally run your alk at 6.3?
Are you planning to have the Apex do anything with your CARx based on the Alkatronic results?

Haha, its alive! Muahahaha!

No, normally at 7 dKh but I've had a growth boom after correcting the RO/DI issue where it was dumping 84 TDS into my tank for top off. [emoji16] I'm adjusting the CaRX to meet the increased demand.

No, for now just monitoring and no control. It actually comes with an ability to hook up the calcium reactor solenoid to it and have it turn on and off the gas when needed to control alk so no Apex even needed.

Nice pic!

Nice pic!

Thanks Bubba! Fish photography is fun... It takes 9 pics to get 1 good one. They don't sit nice and still like our new frags. [emoji23]

It’s a very nice pic Ty. I would try to bring more black and shadow so the pic will look more...artistic. Also bring the contrast up a little bit.

You know what, good call Mr V! I was trying to get back to shooting as realistic pictures as I can of my corals but when it comes to scenic photos of the tank like this picture, I can see how adding a little artistic license to it is nice.
