Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

OOPS sorry it was 120reefkeeper that had one go not FarmerTy

Post above fixed

I was like... Uh oh, what did I do? Am I in trouble? [emoji16]

Just to correct my memory, you use a GFCI with a ground probe, right? If so, you can rule out any failed electrical equipment. You would likely be looking for a magnet issue. Either a motor rotor or mounting magnets.

Yes, I installed a GFCI outlet behind the tank. I'm thinking its either the Kessil mounts, or the Jebao rotors.

@Scurvy... I just remembered. When I grew this thing out. It was under 30% intensity with only one A160. Seneye meter was reporting 80 PAR where it was. I just moved the lights to 40% peak like you suggested. Tank looks kinda dark... lets see what this does.

What wattage...? or dare I ask you to give accurate information on the first attempt. Lol

It's ok...we all know the rule of thumb for Home Depot trips, I think we can apply it for posts too.

Mother inlaw had quad bypass today. She is doing well so I just caught up with the posts.

If you used cheap Chinese stuff I would look there. They tried to kill our dogs have no doubt they care much about our fish.

What’s home de pot?

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Snowflake eel is home and in the 40b. She's probably 12" long. About half grown, but twice the size of Maui. She needs a name. I've already got Maui, I was thinking maybe Pele... or Kauai... sticking with the Hawaiian theme, if you couldn't tell.

The girl I got the eel from let me borrow a 2 bulb T5. I was talking about adding T5 to the Deep Blue and she was like, "I got a 2 bulb you can use..." its late and I have no way of hanging it right now, so I stuck it on the 40b to hold the screen down. It actually looks good over it.

She said I needed to put a stick in there and watch it grow. That would be some crap, all that money in the Deep Blue and as cheap as this thing is start growing coral... maybe I will turn this thing into a reef. One day...

Kaiulani. The famous Hawaiian princess. She is a beauty!!! More pics please.

I do like Pele. I also like Ragnar if you move away from the hawaii theme. yeah, I'm a fan of Viking mythology.

I like side by sides... looking at the same coral every day is hard to see any progress. When I put two pictures side by side I'm amazed. Top left is today, bottom right was taken on 3-19. Bottom pics filtered to make color pop, top pics are without any filters. I've got growth all over on that piece, just need to work on color now.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Similar filtering as done before, today...

Naked cinnamons. They need stripper and bouncer names. Like Baby and Tony. Hahaha

 

[sfin52]

I’ll go with Capone and candi for the stripper

Lights go out and the eels come out.
