IM EXT 200 Peninsula Aquarium w∕ APS Stand - White

[Beanju]

Starting to transfer coral. I am almost done transferring but look so empty haha

 

[Beanju]

Made a “temporary” cabinet out of melamine wood. I put some active cooling with a thermostat, if the temperature goes up to a certain points, fans kick in. There are vents on both side .

 

[Beanju]

Water change day !

 

[Reefinglens]

Got to see this beauty today! Really love all the little details that were thought out. Thanks for the walk through @Beanju can’t wait to see this bad boy packed with coral!

 

[Beanju]

Things are finally getting stable since my crash ( went for a week at a work trip , nutrients bottomed out, huge cyano outbreak, 95% of coral died )
Time to start adding coral again

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Water changes are wonderful

 

[Darkxerox]

Why'd you switch out the lights?

 

[Beanju]

The uno are good ,very powerful and efficient but the software side is not where it needs to be for someone like me. For someone who knows what they are doing , precisely adjust, tune everything I believe they are great .
For me I need something like the radion, preset program, set intensity , start date and end dates very very simple
I will keep the uno until I feel more comfortable tinkering with them ( except if someone wants to buy some )

well it seems UV don't like me. I had this extra UV running for few weeks now and last night I hear an alarm at 3am. well to be fair, my Wife heard the alarm, kicked me, took me a minute to understand what's going on. went to the tank and thank god I have few of these in the sump area and near the tank

there was 2mm of water in the sump, the uv was leaking

 

[Coral reefer]

I can’t tell was the leak from where you’re pointing?

 

[Beanju]

yes, a part that is glued up by them

Thanks for sharing the water leak detector. I'll be near RWC this Saturday and can drop off some corals to replenish your stock. Of course, I'm only using that excuse to check out your setup.

Damn that sucks

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

@Beanju Odd question, but: were you able to put that sump in the stand when it was assembled? Or did you have to assemble the stand around it?

 

[Beanju]

Very easy to slide in, no issues at all.

Especially because it’s the peninsula so it slide from the end . I just removed the door and done
