Update: 12/4/18 Okay, here’s the first water test. I was secretly hoping the tank had began a cycle in the 2 weeks it took to fill. I suppose it was too cold. None the less, we can see it has not. My approach to this is to add as many strains as I can in order to promote competition and...

Update 12/1/18 Guys and gals, it’s going to happen today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update 11/30/18 Well, Neptune customer service did a nice job today. Took about 10 minutes to figure out my EB832 issue and all was right with the world. Control board is coming together. Wiring is all done minus the water mixing station. Going to draw up what it is I want to accomplish and...

Update 2 11/29/18 Well, here’s where I’m leaving it for the night. Have to do the wiring in the back for the non essential EB832 but I’ve run into a problem with the thing stuck in boot loader mode. I can get it to work but it basically mirrors the other EB832. I contact Neptune and waiting...

Update 11/29/18 Chugging a long on the wiring. EB832s mounted Splicing wires for “super cool” power cables Getting the “super cool” treatment 7 down, 9 to go -Paul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My only issue with Absolutely is their prices. They seem to be considerably higher than anyone else. They do have a good selection in fish, though. Check out Iconic Aquarium. Great guy runs the place with a ton stuff you don’t always see. Super knowledgeable and takes requests! Sent from...

Can I be added to a list and possibly be put on hold for a while? I’m in the process of cycling and want the tank to mature before I add one. Paul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d like to follow up and echo what everyone has said as I’ve fallen victim to this recently also. If you want to irradiate ich, you must treat every fish in your DT and leave the DT fallow for 72 days. The QT process is fairly straight forward and doesn’t need to be anything fancy. I had...

Treat all your fish as they all have it. Make sure, if you’re treating with copper, to keep it in the 1.75 to 2.00 ppm the entire 14 days. The best way to do that I found was to just spend the money on a Hanna Copper checker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, sorry for the silence. Had a bit of a flood in the basement and since had decided to clean the danged thing. I was filling one of my water storage tanks and a tube got caught on top of the float valve which caused it to stay open. I did find out my fish room was water tight lol and I now...

Yea. It’s somewhat tricky to find a pull pump. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not just tap into your return pump? Or get a separate pump in your sump to pump water to your refugium? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, with my morning work briefing and the torture with my chiropractor out of the way, I got to work on the electrical panel. It’s a tight squeeze but I placed two outlets in the box that are wired to the essential and non essential circuit. I placed voltage/wattage/amp monitors to...

Update 11/25/18 Okay, quick update. No pics today but...! 1. I finally finished the plumbing. I will never use 1.5” flex PVC again! 2. All the wiring to the main junction box is complete. 3. Tested and bled the heating line for the tank. 4. I have cleaned out the QT corner of the fish...

Very little progress the last two days as we prepared for thanksgiving. But, I started work on the junction box for the electric: Basically a 12”x12” junction box where the power is distributed to the APEX and its respective EB Drilled holes in the stand backing and plumbed the initial...

No they have not. I plan on doing a fishless cycle with various brands of bacteria and ammonia additive while the fish recover from ICH. They have 5 more days before I can move them to an observation tank for two weeks in which time I hope to have the new tank cycled. I’m going with about 1...

I’m done as of this morning! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
