Might have missed it, but what are you planning on for lights?

Devaji108 · 03/29/2016, 10:21 AM

^ I got the new 24" Photon V2 from Logan @ reefbreeders 6 controllable channels full spectrum 3W cree LEDs

before the BH leak on the 40br I was setting up I had a BML 36" 20K MC was going to get another but decided to sale it to a member on here.

I think i'll like the V2...

also just placed an order for the newest Jeabo PP 8 wave maker the PP are the newer Rws was going to just get another rw4 but decided might as well go with a lil bigger for 10 or so bucks.
the flow pattern should be wider i think they should do the trick nicely.

Devaji108 · 03/29/2016, 02:26 PM

water test with well water..maybe not the best idea.

oh well its all cleaned up now. filtering RODI water lights should be here today or tomorrow.

ksigaekdb · 03/29/2016, 05:55 PM

I just had a flashback of when I water tested my tank and got the same result! Great build you have going, tagging along.

Devaji108 · 03/30/2016, 12:55 AM

^ ha thanks I did think about just waiting a day or 2 and filtering RODI for it but "just in case" i went with tap water. was not so bad i guess but man that alot of hard water.

more pic to come as i should get my lighting tomorrow!

Devaji108 · 03/30/2016, 02:14 PM

Devaji108 · 03/30/2016, 02:17 PM

It's a beauty

dt204 · 03/31/2016, 09:17 AM

That spectral controller looks very similar to the one on my Kessil. Let's see a pic of that light mounted now! 😃

Devaji108 · 04/01/2016, 10:58 PM

homer you know I dont know as i dont have an apex.

dt204 yeah I so need to get on that. need to ask my landlord if i can drill in to the roof to hang it. if not no biggie there tan mounts will work.

Devaji108 · 04/03/2016, 11:41 AM

a lil update on the build, just bit the bullet and bought a tunze ATO and some coral food from BRS (not that I have coral yet but hey already paying for shipping right.)

have yet to fire up the lights hopefully today i'll get a chance to at least tank mount them.

Devaji108 · 04/03/2016, 06:42 PM

thanks ZR its been a slow build but in the home stretch...

Reef Chili?

Devaji108 · 04/03/2016, 10:09 PM

yeah Paul got some reef chili as this build is going to focus heavily on gorgs. so I wanted to have some food one hand.

Sounds cool. I use it as well and like it.

Devaji108 · 04/04/2016, 01:42 PM

not much to report today except I got my 29H ATO filled with RODI and glass top ordered should have it my 5 this eve.

sold some Aquarium stuff that I did not need to help fund the tunze...
now gotta go back it up and ship it out.

so today has been all about ATOing...not sure that even a word but damn it I gonna use it anyway!

Westcoastindia · 04/05/2016, 10:41 PM

From where you at, its all easy. At our end it's pain in the rear. Hard to manage stuff and availability. Good going dev. Subbed.

Devaji108 · 04/05/2016, 11:44 PM

^ thanks bud I always wondered how reefing was in India...
here in Wyoming not sure there is a LFS in the state if there is in must be 6hrs away.

Westcoastindia · 04/06/2016, 10:41 PM

It's bad bro.
Government policies
Uneducated LFS
Uneducated and egoistic hobbyists
Availability of products
Economy etc.
It's a long way to go, not in near future things would change.

Corals are banned in India, still people exploit the local region for trade of them stuff. Even imports are banned. Still if one has resources anything could be managed.

Few pics from southern part of the country where they illegally mess with the sticks.

I'm visiting that place again probably in coupla weeks.
Will give updates.

Devaji108 · 04/07/2016, 08:50 AM

oh man maybe its your calling to set up/manage an aquafarm for corals?

Can't do farming as well. In simpler words possession of coral dead or alive is prohibited and illegal.
Even with sites one can't import to India.

Some more pics.
Dead corals are approx US $1.00 per kg.
Live stuff is also relatively cheap but only for local stuff.
Most of the corals are for max $5 to $7. Few such as green hammer size 12 sq inch are around $ 20.00

Westcoastindia · 04/07/2016, 11:58 AM

Pics

Devaji108 · 04/13/2016, 10:12 AM

took a few days off and went to Moab UT, for some mnt. biking.
always nice to get south this time of year.
here a pic of one of the many views...

now back to Reffing...
Richard from TBS is diving for my 2.1 rock today and will be air shipped tomorrow.

also got a few new goodies for the tank:

homer1475 · 04/14/2016, 06:22 AM

Let me know how you like those Jebao's. I need more flow in the 80 and 2 mp10's aren't cutting it. Been thinking of picking up a couple pp8's as mp40's aren't in the budget right now.
