Tyler's 220 gallon in wall build thread!

lol, it is a pain to learn but i had to learn a bit of patience for the programming part and i still have not gone back and finalized mine as everything works but i never put all my alarms in.... anyway

i would have to play with it but right off the top of my head you should not need 2 defer commands, and i could be wrong but the min time command does not seem right

(I have to admit i am also still learning the programming part so there is better resources than myself but we will get it either way)

I can figure it out pretty easily, I just dont understand reasons for defer timing or run times. Other than ato's and email/text Alarms. Everything is set up. Just need to design aquascape. That's my weekend plan

post lots of pics, cant wait to see the rock work start

Funny you mention that @scott11106 lol.

So QT tanks are up and cycling. One of the filters i got was defective so that's being replaced.

I bought two more powerheads, one for each QT just to help out with flow.

Added a grow light for growing my herbs indoors.

My third wav is is in display now.

Rock work is starting. Wife and I hopefully going to find some time tomorrow to mess around.

Alright, I have no idea, when it comes to this part of the build of things to, or not to do. So critic it. Just spun this it, couldnt resist as I was staring at the rock lol. Give me some tips people.

 

[scott11106]

i would try to make it a bit more symmetric on left and right side, you dont need it exact but i dont think you will end up disliking the left to right in size

 

[TK_KW]

Think it looks like the right amount of rock roughly? I'm going to photo this one. Tear it down and make a new one

 

[TK_KW]

So this is finally what I'm going with I think, I think it looks great.

What do you all think?

What would make apex lose connection to fusion dashboard? My internet never went down, router never turned of. Yet I had to reboot unit?

 

[samnaz]

wow, beautifully done.

Thank you so much @samnaz

Aqua scape nearly complete. Few minor touches to still do. I'm starting to wash all the sand. I'm very happy with how this thing turned out......geez looks amazing.

i really like the rock work, what will the dimension be from the top of the rock to water level? if you plan on having alot of LPS the tend to need more light so mounted on top and they grow up toward water level

 

[TK_KW]

I'm currently wifi. Is that the reason? There is cat5 from my router in my main floor office into my basement mech room. Just a pain in the butt to get it to tanks, then find someone to put a end on it.

At the highest point it will be somewhere in the 7" mark to water level. I know nothing about coral placement, but I've left different height shelves around display, but highest is like I said about 7" from water level

What model JNS skimmer is that?

i have mine hooked up with a wired connection, I have heard of problems with wifi so i went wired so i would highly recommend it as it removes one point of failure.

I think 7" is fine
