Fatmike's Sexy 57 Rimless

[11f150]

Very nice, I like the sump. Makes me want to get one.

 

[Fatmike92]

alright im trying to figure out the light schedule.

heres what I got.

ive got some moon light LEDs on it so those are: 7am to 12pm

then reefbrite blue LED: 9am to 11pm

2 bulbs (blue and Purple) 1030am to 10pm

4 bulbs (blue, blue, blue, white(changing to aquablue): 1130am to 8pm

so I have everything on from 1130 to 8pm but I know I am going to have to acclimate my corals to this light when I first move them over. which I am scared of!!! but hopefully it works out

im thinking of just running 2 bulbs for a week then just 4 bulbs for a week and then all 6 the next week. does this sound right for acclimating them to it?

omg..... idk why but I have had the hardest time getting salt shipped to me!!!!

I ordered my salt from foster and smith and it only takes 2 days for them to ship stuff to me. so a week went by so I contacted them and the salt got shipped back because the bucket was damaged, so I said ok thats fine please just send me another one. so they did and said it should be here friday. well today is friday.... no salt. so I contact them again

THE BUCKET BROKE AGAIN!!!!!! so they shipped it back! so now I am without salt this weekend sort of.

I am going to go to a local store that has ESV for a good price and go with that

ha I am very annoyed

It's been my experience that in order to receive packages on time two requirements must be met. First it must be an item which you care little about. Second you must immediately forget that you ordered said item. If the first condition can not be met then strict adherence to item two must be followed. Shipping is apparently a very esoteric undertaking.

ha I want it very very much!!

Dang that is crappy. What a way to start your weekend. If you were closer I would give ya what you needed. I did that with a friend on his 75g tank. Here's a full bucket of Red Sea use what you need.

Yeah that sucks! If I were closer.... I probably wouldn't give you any. You know what parents teach their kids about giving away reef salt to strangers!

 

[Fatmike92]

Ha thanks lilmatty!

And liquid I don't want your salt anyways!!

Here it is! I need to mess with the brackets and the wires a bit more.

 

[Liquid360]

Sad don't blame u though... my salt sucks.

 

[Fatmike92]

haha Im sure your salt is plenty awesome!

 

[kschweer]

What t5 fixture is that? Also what brackets did you go with and where did you get them?

 

[Fatmike92]

the brackets are aquatic life brackets and the light is a 6 bulb aquatic life. now I know some people are against aquatic life but mike uses them over his system and I wont argue over that success

 

[Zack]

Lookin good mike, bet you can't wait to finally have it filled.

Thanks! Ya I'm going to start filling the mixing drum today!

 

[Fatmike92]

Here we go!

And I attached the LED to the light, it's angled in so it hits the whole tank

 

[Fatmike92]

And I grabbed some salt so I got that ready to go once the drum is full!
