Hey tank bro! You got some coral or more fishies in there yet?

Not yet, still just the 2. Going through some diatoms right now, but I'll likely start adding corals soon!

You're going the more patient route which I would have preferred to do No specks of coralline showing up yet?

 

[Meshmez]

Finally got somewhere with the electronics. Still have some work to do, but progress is progress!

 

[Meshmez]

Almost finished with the under tank!

you may want to separate those power bricks as they get hot, stacking them right next to eachother makes them getting heated faster, which will impact their longevity.

Ya I was worried about that, that's why I have the fan in there. So far they don't get very hot though, so I'll keep an eye on them. My lighting power supplies are elsewhere. These are just powerheads and pumps, which are all running around 50% max.

Obviously the best solution is water cool them. Just put them all in the sump.

Alright, got some work done on this over the last week!
Started moving some lps in:

With the 25 lagoon in the background, it kinda makes it look like the tank goes deeper from the side view:

Liking the new arrangement of tanks too:

Sump area is pretty much ready to go:

Love the rockwork

 

[Meshmez]

Finally got the Dastaco CaRx that I have had for a long time and never set up, running.

Added a biota yellow tang and starry goby, along with moving my Kole tang and melanarus wrasse over from the tank I have been keeping them in in the garage. And moved some more corals in.

Nice, Great that you’re taking it slow should pay off dividends in the long run.

How do you like the Fiji sump?

The sump is nice, especially for the price. I liked that it came with probe holders and heater holders etc, but I'm not actually using them...

The auto feeder discussion inspired me to finally start my diy project. I'll likely add some sort of funnel to the top, and a little angle to the bottom. I'll also add a small pump to mix the water in the tube. Haven't decided yet if I want to integrate the pump in the bottom part, or drill a small hole in the side of the acrylic tube to mount it.
