Hello, I have a lot of updates but I have only a single picture right now. I went to Florida for a while and haven't been updating like I would like to. To start, I have finished my custom made hood and stand with the help of my sister. I'll be taking more pictures tonight when I get home from work. The picture I have attached is of the system when just the blue lighting on as it was in the evening. Sorry for the poor quality.
I don't know if I mentioned it before but I have a
Pink/ Green Polyps Birds Nest coral which has doubled in size since I purchased the frag from a local reefer. I've recently switched a LED lighting system which uses 3 watt led's instead of the 1 watt led's I used to have. Also, the new system has more twice the number of led's. I really like the new system.
Along with the upgrades to my system, I much more rock to my system. In the process, the clipped my
Florescent Horn Coral and broke a 3cm piece off of it. I attached the piece to another rock in hope that it could turn into another healthy piece as the parent of it has grown like made in the recent months.
Also, in recent weeks, my green
Chalice Coral has more than doubled in size. So much so that something broke a piece of the part that was over hanging the rock. I placed the broken piece up against the back of the overflow in hopes it takes root and grows up the wall of the overflow. :)
When working on the hood, I added two normal desk fans to the circuit which has the lighting units so they turn on and off with the lights. Since the fans have been running, the evaporation rate of the tank has increased a lot. Also, the air in the hood stays fresher and DRY:)
My
Hammer Coral has gone from 3 heads to 8 since I purchased them early summer. My
Frog Spawn has gone from 2 to 5 heads since early summer.
My father and I can't seem to keep
Jasmine Polyps alive for very long. Still working on that. :)
Anyways, I'll post a lot of pictures tonight when I get home. See ya!
