SupraSaltyReefer - ELOS 120XL Diamond Series

Started to mount the Radions to the 40.5" RMS track.

I wanted to add two Kessil 360X as supplemental lighting and to add shimmer so I had to figure out a way to mount it to the RMS track. Ended up using some M5 screws, bolts and washers from Lowe's.

Used this metal piece from RMS mounts to sit in the channel.

Finished Kessil mount. Just enough clearance for the knobs and wifi dongle.

Final lighting configuration. 2x Radion XR30 G5 Blue 1x Radion XR30 G5 Pro (need to trade this with someone for a Blue in case anyone is interested) and 2x Kessil A360X.

Still need to clean up the wires.

Came home from a 16 day vacation and surprisingly nothing was dead. Corals actually look healthy. Torch tentacles are long and flesh looks good.

Couple things I did before I left:
1. 20% water change.
2. Set up the Boxtech automatic fish feeder from Amazon.
3. Made sure skimmer and UV was working properly.
4. Most importantly made sure my Tunze ATO with 35g reservoir was working properly. Looks like 20g of water was used so luckily I still had 15g of water left.
5. My Reefmat 1200 fleece did run out at day 13 and I was notified by the Reef Beat app which I knew was going to happen since I had an estimated 13 days left on the roll.
6. I also installed a Arlo security camera pointed at my sump so I could periodically check to see if anything was off.

Time to scrape the algae film off the glass and do another 20% water change.

I finally cleaned the tank last night. Snapped this quick pic and video this morning of my gang of Golden Hawkfishes. Some background on them, two of the smaller ones have been together since 2021. I added the larger hawkfish in December 2022 when I set up this ELOS. I think 2 of them have paired up since they always hang around each other. The 3rd just chills on the side. No aggression at all between them.

Those golden hawkfish are cool! Never knew about those.
 
Made a quick video last night while I was doing a water change. I find that it's the best time if you want to get a closer shot of your corals since the water level is lower. The bigger anemone is a CSB and the smaller anemone is a Chicago. They have been in my tank since April, but have been in a friends tank for years with no chemical warfare :)
