first off im sorry for the horrible pictures, for some reason when my camera focuses its making the picture wayyy to dark and i have to correct the exposure to compensate washing out all the color :s it really sucks
i finally got rid of my cyano!! i though it would never go away, even after treating the tank twice with medication..It came back! I stumbled across the solution to my problem while I was attempting rule out possible culprits, it turns out the cause was direct sunlight coming in through the window in the early morning, the solution to this massive headache turned out to be $2 of Bristol board (mom isnt very happy im covering her window but its way in the back of the family room where no one goes except me)
But this wasn’t until I spend $170 on a dual DI and 6 packs of replacement resin from BRS -_- ..... literally the day i realized “hey my cyano is going away” was the same day the ups guy knocked on the door...i decided to keep the DI however, I figure it can’t hurt having it (even though I’m already at 0TDS)
I also rigged up a new hanging system for my LEDS so now I can now raise and lower the units, I just need to add longer wires between the drives and the units as well as buy my glass shields to slide in the acrylic housing.....and do a proper write-up here, I’ve just been so busy with school ive had no time. The good news is I’m seeing super growth since adding the lights, my acros love it and my acans are starting to show some color I’ve never seen in them before
About 3 weeks ago i visited the Oakville reefgallery in Oakville Ontario about 2hours away from here, i picked up a nice gold maxima (I think) $50, a colony of electric green acans $50 and an acan frag $20 that is red and white on the outside and green and orange in the middle. everything I bought is doing extremely well!!. i was nervous getting the clam, I have not have very good luck with them in the past, but this guy seems very happy
