Here are pictures of both my 120g and my Nuvo 20g with their Radions (the Nuvo has had the XR15 for a while now)!

The RMS are great aren't they?

 

[skywhitney]

They are! I love the nice clean look they have, they also allow the mangroves to be shown more too which is a plus.

I got my pumps attached to the Reeflink as well. It's pretty cool (small things can excite me lol)!

Yesterday I picked up my Mystery Wrasse as well. He's settled in well already in QT with the Solorensis (they were tank mates at the store as well).

I love my reeflink as well. Mine updates and needs restarted often, so when it is red/green just unplug/plug back in and it'll go back to blue.

 

[skywhitney]

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep my eye on it if it starts acting up. I helped set one up for a friend a while back and it seemed like we had to restart it all the time cause it would just disconnect every 30 min or so.

 

[Sniperhank]

Disconnect from the internet or to the power? Is it updated? I had trouble with the connection through the reeflink and troubleshooted through Ecotech. I had to get in contact with them and one of the data files became corrupt that they had to fix. No issues since.

 

[skywhitney]

it would just lose connection to his network. I haven't had to mess with it in quite some time so I'm not sure if it's working better now or not. He hasn't complained about it in quite a while so I'd guess it's working fine now.

On a seperate note, do you happen to have any experience with elegance corals Sniperhank?

 

[Sniperhank]

No personal experience. If memory serves, they are collected from two different areas. I want to say Australia and I don't remember...maybe the red sea...but the ones that aren't from Australia just do awful in the home aquarium and always die.

 

[skywhitney]

That's good to know. I'll make sure to look out for that if I decide to get one. I've wanted one for a while but always shyed away due to aggression and longevity issues that I've heard about. I'm thinking it might be time to try one out since I think I have a great spot for one in the tank now.

If you do, put a ton of time/effort in making sure you get an aussie so you have some longevity in your investment.
How are the radions doing? Anything neat with your schedule?

 

[skywhitney]

If I get one I'll the LFS I go to will make sure they bring in exactly what I ask for. They're awesome and have always done right by me ☺

The radions are doing great so far. I just have them on the high growth setting right now but it is a little to white for my liking so I might change it. I haven't played around with the settings shop in not sure if I can modify the program to match the color temperature that I like. All the corals opened up nice and big today so they are responding really well already.

With the reeflink, you can do WHATEVER you want. I took all red out of my lights, for example.

 

[skywhitney]

Hmm I will have to mess around with it some more then. I usually keep my lights in the 14k- 16k range but right now I think it's around 10k-11k.

Just wondering, why did you remove all the red?

Algae struggles. Just can't kill it off. Minimal effect, if any, but I do like the colors better. I wish I could, or knew how to, take a picture of the graph and show it off.

 

[skywhitney]

Screenshot it

I was able to get my color temp adjusted to 14k so now I'm much happier with the appearance. I have both the Nuvo and the 120g synced up on lights so the corals should be getting pretty much the same exact lighting regardless of what tank they're in.

I have seen no evidence of any nudibranchs on any of my zoas nor have I found any signs of eggs so hopefully that issue is close to under control. I have seen some zoa pox on a couple of the colonies but that seems to be going away by itself. I do have some furan just in case it doesn't resolve itself though.

Should I keep the zoas in QT for another week? Two weeks?

I found a new baby bubble coral growing next to my big one

Would it be ok for me to frag it off and move it?

Now that I have these I shouldn't need any new hardware for the tank for a long time!
