Drywall all hung in the office. Need to mud and tape now.

all the corals in the nano looking really good. I don’t see a need to dose anything yet. Just water changes.

I am trying to get my buddy over here to take some decent tank pics. Hopefully soon.

Been a while. Haven’t been able to get my buddy to take pics. Here is one of the 12 footer as of this morning.

I have also changed things up with my maker stuff. I am selling off most of my 3d printers and have ordered a Bambu lab P1P. I will keep the Prusa and a larger printer as well. Also got a smaller laser setup and am selling the big one I never used.

And, finally, I got back a 36”x36”x18” acrylic tank on still in the wrapper that I sold. No clue what I am going to do with it. But I couldn’t pass it up. It’s such a cool tank.

Wound up selling the acrylic to a buddy opening a store. Been super busy with laser engraving and 3d printing side jobs. Also getting ready for my son to deploy.

It will calm down soon as I will do a video update as I am starting a YouTube channel called maker pop

Ok guys I am swapping out the all in one for a 20” cube. The all in one is going to the new office they are building for my team at work.

I have had the worst luck the last couple years keeping sps and I want to do the cube in green slimer, monti cap and forest fire digitata. All fairly easy corals.

Without using a controller, make recommendations to stop my plight of sps failure. Evidently everything I have done over the years has stopped working.

Here is the list of equipment I have:

Eshopps psk75 hang on skimmer
Titanium 150 watt heater
Noo-Psyche nano and custom made uv/blue bars
Caribsea reef floor
About 80 pounds of dry rock
Several different power heads
Wi-Fi 4 head doser
Tunze ato
Several kinds of hang on filters and canisters

I am not sure about the lighting choice although I had good luck with them in the past.

I don’t like bare bottom but am considering epoxy and sand covered cutting board so I can maximize flow.

I have the supplies for diy two part and a bunch of all4reef

Ok that’s about the long and short of it. I appreciate your input.

I want a large tank like this one day , I just have 20&15 gallon fresh water tanks
It’s only 144 gallons.

But it’s 12 foot length is just awesome.

I call it the worlds longest nano.

I wanna try my hand at a tank bigger than 20 living in apartments kinda restricts that.

But hopefully next year that changes :)
Hope it works out.

Things are still going well with the freshwater tanks. I acquired a 45 aio tank, stand and a bunch of stuff for it. Going to sell most of the other stuff I have and concentrate on it and the two big planted tanks.

I got a presale on some new planted tank lights for the 12 foot tank. They should be here next week. Hoping they work out.

Other than that been doing a bunch of laser engraving and printing and learning my new 4040 cnc machine.
