    Mounted my GHL Mitra and Marine Depot controller board. Current issue is the Mitra driver isnt communicating with the computer, so I cant program it via GCC yet. Going to do yet another uninstall and reinstall. If that doesnt work, Ill pick up a cheapo laptop to program with. Livestock: Clown...

    Let's talk ATOs

    I have since added a 3155 Osmolator to my tank, and appreciate the fact that I don't have to monitor and top off every day; simply keep an eye on the ATO container and top that off every couple days. Only issue I ran into is keeping the pump upright. It seems to always tip over inside the...

    controller/equipment cabinet

    So I'm going to do something to tidy up all the AC boxes, controllers and wires underneath the tank. Does anyone have any DIY photos or projects they could share which addressed this issue? For now, I simply used 3M cable hooks and zip ties to loop and move wires out of the way while I try to...

    saltwater directly into tank

    If you have corals, the settling salt could land on the polyps and piss them off. Theres no accurate way to truly make sure youre adding the correct amount. You could throw off salinity and ph etc etc Well, at least thats my guess. Im new and I dont know crap. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Added two bottles of Dr Tims last Thursday. Then added a pair of clownfish. So far, theyre doing well. Eating like pigs and swimming out and about. Under tank shot. Very simple with simpleton plumbing. The shorter drain is the emergency one. Figure I want it to be loud so I know right away...

    Cycle started. Nothing fancy underneath; trying to minimize the equipment I get and use the KISS method. Just ordered an Inkbird temperature controller. I dont plan on getting an Apex anytime soon. MAYBE down the line if I get into more demanding corals. For now, Im planning on a majority of...

    Tank repair help (pane replacementl

    Sorry I dont have any meaningful photos of the replaced pane. I have two or three on my build thread. I can say without a doubt that silicone is stupid strong. When I replaced my front pane, I did a leak test. Was it successful? In the sense that there were no leaks, then yes. However I failed...

    Tank repair help (pane replacementl

    I replaced a pane before, however my tank didnt have any trim. That being said, it really isnt that difficult to do, but definitely take your time to make sure the sealant is thoroughly removed and the surfaces are clean before applying new sealant. Keep in mind, any sealant along the interior...

    Free glass

    I cant start a new topic in the freebie section, so figured Id try here (mods delete if not allowed) 36/30/18 tank that needs the back pane replaced. I already replaced and leak tested the front pane with success...but not before making sure the tank was leveled. Ergo, back pane cracked. I was...

    Finally hung the canopy. I need to get a wire to support the front though; seems as if full motion also includes up/down tilting

    Couple updates. The leak test went well, without any leaks from the replaced panel. However the bank panel cracked due to my own stupidity: I didn't place the tank on level ground, and didn't realize until later that the back panel wasn't supported on the ground. Needless to say, I would have...

    Ato

    I'm in the process of setting up my tank, and am now looking at ATO systems. Between the two, which one would be recommended and why? Currently I don't really plan on getting an APEX. Not that I don't believe in the product, but the price point is pretty high for me at the moment...
