My office tank is getting a major overhaul. I have a cool future plan for my Eshopps Deskmate that is currently in my office, so the office space is getting a big upgrade. I tore everything down and started with the cabinet. I knew what space I had to work with so I spent a lot of time planning out the cabinet. Every time I thought I was done I gave it a few days and another idea would always come up. After I couldn't think of anything else I dug into the build. The entire thing is built from 3/4 AC, well sanded and painted with enamel. 3 coats with sanding in between. I wanted good support in the center and oversized for storage with a nice control panel. The Control panel is held in place by magnets and is removable and swappable to allow for future upgrades. All the shelves are purpose built to hold something specific although all of the gear is not on site yet. I do however have all the essentials.
Keeping from the old tank are just a few pieces of livestock. Really just a trachy, two zoas, a candy cane frag, a couple cyphastrea frags that weren't doing so great and a handful of snails. I don't have a lot left to do. I'm waiting on a dosing container I will be using for skimmate and some fittings so I can connect the scrubber. I will need it because I fight with CO2 in the closed up office. My lid is still in production and I have to finish a cover for the control panel that will just be a frame with tinted glass. Eventually I will swap the panel and put an apex on it.
The prime is running Saxby. I have it tuned down a fair bit, maybe 20-25%. I'll get a par meter on it soon enough. The fuge is running on a 12 hour night schedule offset from the skimmer that runs during the day. I'm still dialing the flow in with the fuge, its a bit tricky but I am almost there. My plan with it is to run a small amount of chaeto that I will harvest regularly, its mainly for the pods. This skimmer by the way is a beast, pulls great skim right away.
I'm feeding fairly heavy at the moment because I have a weak heart. I was at my LFS looking for odds and ends and saw a twin spot that was in terrible shape, there was no way he was going to make it. Good news is he's coming around pretty well. I'm stuffing him full of pods and mysis and some frozen mix which he eats readily. I shouldn't have cracked and tried to save him at this stage in the tank but I couldn't help myself.
I also pulled my doser off the old tank that was running AFR but I'm obviously holding off until the tank is more established. In the photo below, that dosing container is sitting on a mixer that runs for 5 minutes a day. Depending on how things go in the next couple months I might dose bacteria.
I'll post some video of the whole setup pretty soon.
