A mini-chronology of the set up of my ~1000g (total volume) reef.

    Algae! But only on one side because someone forgot to turn on ALL the lights one day.






    Got in on a BRS group order this week and broke the proverbial bank. That sobbing you hear is my wallet crying in the corner. ...

  2. Tastes Salty!

    Since October, my last update, I've been pretty busy...and I'm only going to get busier because the tank is wet! We're at the end of the cycle now, just letting things flow as we're not on any particular schedule here. Although amusingly enough Tibet is quieter then our grow out tank. I attribute it to the wide overflow, and the sump design.

    I have a skimmer on order, an RLSS r10, which I'm dying to get my hands on. So far the tank has run completely skimmerless since it was filled. ...

  3. Future Option for Adjusting LED Colour and Intensity Outputs aka Controller in a Bulb

    by , 10-17-2012 at 10:30 PM (T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank))
    I was clicking through Kickstarter and saw this, the LIFX light bulb. "LIFX is a WiFi enabled, multi-color, energy efficient LED light bulb that you control with your iPhone or Android."

    Think of the implications for controllers, and reef tech. Crap, everything is going to be wifi enabled soon isn't it?

    Sometimes I like to put rock in my glass boxes.






    And play with plumbing
