Biocube Lights Not Turning On

E luce fu!

And ... Today, two days in advance of the month precise precise Asdu began to take light.

an hour, still little, but enough to change the look of the living room after a month's pitch dark.

Now the photoperiod is increased, except for unpleasant surprises along the way, one hour per week up to a regime with 9 hours. This phase is probably the most hated and feared by the aquarist ... In fact, the various stages algae are there in ambush, and many times (hopefully that is not exactly this) even the month of darkness and the chemical values \u200b\u200b"right" are able to avoid.

I will keep you updated!

As for the chemistry of the tank, this month I have not added anything but supplements of calcium and magnesium to bring them to acceptable after the salt-Hw Wiedgant Marinemix professional I decided to use proved poor in these two elements.

I think it rocks, if of good quality and well "lives" they have everything you need to start a tank, and on this occasion, the nature seems to have given me reason.

The nitrates went from 50 mg of the day that I filled the tank from the current 4 mg / l, phosphate, from a peak of 0.80 mg / l were yesterday 0.36 mg / l, a value still very high for a marine tank and start giving light, but the elimination of "natural" phosphate in the aquarium is much longer than that in the nitrogen cycle and so I decided to use, even to give me a hand with the silicates very high (1.5 mg / l) some resins Forwater iron-based specifications for the removal of phosphates and silicates.

In less than 24 hours, the level of phosphate increased from 0.36 mg / l to 0.00 mg / l (both measurements were made with a photometer Martini), while for the silicates have to say that he had seen a great fall ...

But here in detail the chemical values \u200b\u200bmeasured this morning

• Temperature: +25.4 ° C.
• Salinity: 35 ppm.
• Ph: 8.05
• Light: 1 Hour
• Kh: 8.1
• No2: 0.00
• No3: 4
• Po4: 0.00
• Sio2: 1.5
• Ca: 435 Mg
• : 1140

See You Soon!

Cara ENEL ti scrivo...

At a time (read mature) in the tank where there is very little to do but leave enough time for the live rock to do their dirty work, I also found the space to devoted to the compilation of this excel sheet taken from the site of his friend Danilo Ronchi (www.danireef.com) sheet with which you can calculate, as a matter of course, approximate the cost of managing your tub under the terms of electricity consumption.

for my puddle of thumb I have come to spend the hefty sum of 127 €! Surprise, not really, I am not new to marine aquariums but see a number (maybe she will not be exact) rather than always imagine some effect.

127 eurini there are many ... ENEL I expect at least to wish you a Merry Christmas! I do not think a bad score!

Good luck ASDU.

Well yes ... Asdu yesterday issued its first stirrings, place the rocks, filled the bathtub, the water begins to overflow, you get the pumps, is born! Now I just need to mature and grow slowly, but as everyone knows mature and grow to an aquarium is not easy ...

Actually it was not easy even childbirth, despite the creation of the rock to dry (that is, the pool is empty) the company has not been the easiest, although the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving the rocks to the living room better assess their form and choose the most suitable piece the rock has been done over and over again.

the end the choice was this rock digrandante from the left wall to simulate a reef that is thrown from the lagoon shore, a solution adopted in my previous setup, but this time in lighter form and amount of rock that fell from the old 85 kg (some of these in sump ) to the current 52.

For a moment I had floated the idea of \u200b\u200bputting in the tank only 40 kg of rock detached in a very strong relationship from that of one kg of rock for every 5 gallons of water that is a dogma of the Berlin method.

I wanted to rely on the fact that the skimmer is housed in a sump (a LG900) is far too big for the bathtub and then leave it at that, almost entirely the work of "cleaned".

I but not the courage, and the idea of \u200b\u200bstarting on the wrong foot I removed any doubt.

There is an old saying that goes "Well begun is half done" because it contradicts??
