Ah missed the part about you using bacteria in a bottle. Yeah I used the MicroBactr7 stuff, seemed to work good

Yep used microbacter, dr tims, arka aquatics and the carib sea rock has some painted onto it. With the recent discovery of bacteria diversity being a fairly good thing to have I went all out on this cycle.

Tank comes tomorrow! All my other pieces besides the RFGs are in(need to double check sizing as I’ve learned waterbox is not very consistent). With the week of prep cycle I’m thinking it should be good to go for a fish after another week.

@The_Lazy_Reefer get your tank yet?

Literally showed up as you were commenting!!

Well the tank is here! And it’s not broken so double horay!

First impression is awesome. Clean silicone, perfect glass and it seems as though they have changed the designs a bit. Previous models needed you to remove the sock holder and now that square piece is an insert making the chamber 1 media basket now plug and play. The return nozzle also seems to take a standard connection for the RFGs not making you buy adapters and whatnot to get it on. I love a company that trolls it’s own reviews since I think that’s what happened here cause the only 2 negatives I’ve found online have been fixed and now work for the community.

Up and running.

That Kessil looks like the Death Star ready to fire a beam of death right at that tiny tank

I like the COVID-19 precautions using the gloves to unbox it.

you could just dangle the light from the shelf above and run the wire across for the truly death star hovering look... and use the focus lens.... like a nem beacon -- or. the inverse of the Imagine Peace tower in Iceland

Then possibilities are quite limitless haha. This light does have a rather stark appearance but in a good way imo

Got my ato and finally broke down and bought a “marriage saver”. Simple small optical sensor/solenoid combo with a beefy magnet that works on my brute so that’s awesome. Also this is the only ato I’ll ever use ever againz

 

[The_Lazy_Reefer]

Well it’s cleared up and tested well so I threw a Molly in there. Ride sally ride.......

The A360X narrow reflector you got IS NOT what Kessil was using to beam light down like 10ft in the Lobby, those were standard photography barn doors adapted to the lights.

They did have their narrow reflector in use on the tour, it was over the small display tank in the next room over between the lobby and the large demo room.

Did some prep work today so all wiring is ready to go. Tank drops on Thursday!

Man I love this floating small tank on the wall..kudos!

Also added an eshopps nano skimmer as aside from nutrient export the oxygen exchange a skimmer gives is so important to a nice PH
