75g Upgrade, First FTS

Rate this Entry
Well-
I finally took some FTS of the new setup:

<br><br>


Details:

Oceanic 75g RR, 20G sump
180 W DIY LED Lighting
Quiet One 3000 for return, 2 BRS media reactors
TLF Biopellets in a Phosban Reactor fed by a MJ900
Vortech MP40wES, MP10wES for main tank circulation
SWC160 Cone Skimmer
Aquacontroller Apex, WXM
SuperFeeder for automated feedings throughout the day
Drew's Dosers for CA/Alk
2- Ebo Jager 200 W heaters (1 main, 1 backup)

Fish: 2x Ocellaris Clowns (Pair), 2x Melanurus Wrasses (pair)

I still have to install and wire up the non-contact door switches and float switches for the ATO and overflow prevention. Once that's complete, the fuge light will turn on automatically when the sump door is opened, the ATO will work , and if there is an obstruction in the overflow pipe that blocks flow, the float will trigger, shut down the return, and email me.

PAR Readings:



180 watts LED details:
30 Cree XP-E Royal Blue
10 Cree XP-E Blue
20 Cree XP-G Neutral White
Optics - Carlco Frosted

Royal Blues and Blues are at 100%, Neutral Whites are at 60%. The fixture is about 1' above the water. Obviously I need to lower the fixture.

I'm probably going to be adding some of the 420nm True Violet LEDS to the fixture for a) more par and b) bluer color

    I had a local reefer weld U-channel to build the heatsync. I bought the LEDS through ledgroupbuy.com, some other supplies through RapidLED, and the drivers through a local group buy
