John828

Thank you very much for the detailed description with drawings!!! I think many will find it interesting. Wishing you a successful launch and smooth sailing!!! We look forward to the continuation and the next photos!

Gene1948

Um... so you hinted to your wife that if there’s no sea, then the wife is only the first? (that’s if you remove the "dash") But overall, it’s a good topic, and the main thing is that it’s completely fresh! I’m very interested in the detailed process of launching, building the stones, etc... 1. Don’t you think there will be too little light? 2. Isn’t the current a bit weak?

Matthew7977

Well, finally!!! Seryoga - hurry up and get ready.

Spencer7805

The first reason. My wife is already my second, and my daughter is grown up, and I am already 47, if the calendar is not lying.

Yolanda

Well, everything seems clear and beautiful with the aquarium! My congratulations. But there is still a question about the vacation... Who will monitor the maturation process during the vacation?

Travis572

I'm already confused... But in any case, I made a note in parentheses in my post. How do you plan to launch? Will you add live sand? Only new water or "live" water? Stones? How many? What is the concept and idea?

Meghan

It's no longer a question. There’s no vacation - work doesn't allow it. For a full sea with hard corals - it won't be enough. But I'm not ready for that yet. I'll redo it if necessary. I don't know.

Brianna

just two nano for 900 liters... well, for such an aquarium... I would say it's very little... I have two tunze for 2500 liters, and I'm also considering replacing one with a tunze for 4500 liters per hour

Derek7322

Very rough calculation: S.R.C. (dry reef rocks) and L.C. (live rocks) in a ratio of 3/2. Why rough? Weight cannot be compared, and the "maturity" and how alive the L.C. (live rocks) are play a role. Simply put, I will try to lay the foundation of the reef with S.R.C. (dry reef rocks). Then, I will observe for a month or two and add L.C. (live rocks) on top. I'm not in a hurry. This topic is not about "fast launching/relaunching" the sea. I have managed such experiments in freshwater. (Damn, I wanted to find a reference, but I can't.)

James4757

Seryoga, allow me to greet another sailor who has joined our squadron in your person, and a sailor with quite serious intentions and a competent approach to the matter.

Christine864

I created the topic to gain knowledge, not to show off anything. Believe me, as the super moderator of this forum, that's enough for me.

Larry

Aren't you afraid of a second launch, if you have to wait a month or two and then deal with the live rocks? Well, I'm not calling it that, I'm just saying how it is for me, and it seemed to me that for such an aquarium the current would be a bit low... I'm just sharing my experience and what I've noticed in my own sea... I'm not hindering the acquisition of knowledge.

Ronald

Since 1993, when I started seriously engaging with the sea, all my vacations have been and still are limited to 3-4 day trips to the Black Sea for marine life. A marine aquarium cannot be left unattended for long. It can get upset...

Jacqueline6670

CONGRATULATIONS on the start! The size of the aquarium is just right; I actually have an aquarium of the same size, I also launched an aquarium of the same size! So we have an addition to our ranks! Well then! Good luck!

Jessica6754

If it weren't for you, no one would be allowed to...

Cheryl9296

I wanted to ask, it's not visible in the photo - are there grooves where the overflow combs will be attached in the drainage shaft?

Rachel9060

Colleagues (can I call you that?), if you need more detailed photos - no problem (wherever I can reach). I don't know. As I understand, they are installed on top of the glass? Well, it's not a big deal, I can carve that myself. Just the dimensions... Tolya, that's a separate question...

Natalie

Are the scallops available? Do the sizes match the dimensions of the shaft?

Joshua8425

I don't know what "second launch" is, so I can't be afraid of it. BUT!!! I will not launch until it says "it's okay." No. There is plastic. Off-topic. Well, there is a file, a chisel, a hammer, .... Well, if that's not enough - a CNC milling machine.

Diana8604

That's right - if it is attached to "my" dimensions - they are installed flush.

Lauren

Of course, it's your decision. I would give your Resun Wave Maker 15000 to NOX to have him work on it. I'm sure you will be satisfied with the performance of this device; I have the same one, and it seems like you do too. The whole aquarium sways, creating a wave effect back and forth. The Resun Wave Maker 15000 doesn't come close to providing that effect, so think about it, and the length of the aquarium really calls for waves. Best regards.

David3217

While I don't have finances yet, I will also deal with the flow, of course, "in practice." I am NOT against the flow. It's just that I have NO experience with marine aquariums; I am simply a novice in this matter. And if you think it's easy for me to debate with you on the topic of flow, then... All I wanted to say is that a specific biotope in a marine aquarium requires a certain flow. Ksenia needs more, someone else needs less. BUT!!! They all require flow.

Christina9947

Odessa sold me his wave. I will still get a Tunze because the controller on this DIY one is driving me crazy, and the size of the wavebox too. I'm glad I got a used one for 600, that's one thing that makes me happy; I'd rather choke on 1400. Sergey, good luck with the setup.

James5103

1. Well, as an alternative to J.C. (live rocks), even a couple of kg can have bacteria; as far as I remember, they are much cheaper, but they will also start to populate the aquarium... 2. No dispute, just an opinion from the outside. That's why I gave an example of my aquarium and the current I have. 3. And of course, I agree that each coral needs its own current. But that will come with experience.

Dennis

Salted S.R.C. (dry reef rocks) from the sea. To be precise, it's not S.R.C. (dry reef rocks), but semi-living rocks. One even had a live coral, but I didn't notice it right away, rinsed it with fresh water, and it became hard. It probably died. For "seeding" with bacteria, I poured 60 liters of seawater (brought from Belosarayka). The rest is osmosis + Tetra salt.

Danielle

unlikely............

Yolanda

healthy cobblestones! But why did they take such big stones? It's harder to make something out of them...

Andrea9320

That's the beauty of DIY, a chisel, a hammer, and a saw - let your imagination run wild. Cut and chop to your liking, and you'll have a great base.

Debra

It wouldn't be bad to "wash" them with a Kärcher, there's a lot of dead organic matter there.

Stephanie4990

You could simply soak it in fresh water for about three days, changing the water in the process (just like they soak driftwood).

William5838

I didn't do anything with these dry reef rocks from the same batch - I just took them and immediately put them in the aquarium. I asked someone, and he said that at first they also washed and rinsed them, but then realized it was pointless. And the dry reef rocks are actually great - I got them three months ago - some of them even had algae, but they didn't survive. The dry reef rocks are really fresh; they have only recently become dry reef rocks. By the way, many of the dry reef rocks have already started to grow coraline.

Danielle8118

Seryoga, we're waiting for the photo of the protoreef... have you posted it yet?

Barbara8192

It looks like M.S.R.K. (dry reef stones), or dry L.K. (live stones), or semi-dead L.K. (live stones), or whatever else you want to call it, but the main thing here is the end result. That it is positive is confirmed. So there’s no need to worry about flushes, cleanings... The system will work, of course not immediately, but everything will fall into place quite quickly... Just like with Sanya... These two aquariums are twin brothers, with the only difference being that Sanya's was born 2 months earlier...

George5104

Well, it seems to fit my volume fine. Not yet. I've just roughly placed the stones for now. The water is still murky; once it clears up, I'll work on the arrangement. The same thing. Many stones had a green coating.

Alan273

On the contrary. You start to piece together the shards, but they keep falling apart; you try to hold them together, but it’s still not right...

Daniel132

Exactly!!! This is cured J.K. (living stones). Seroga, have you sniffed them? They smell like the sea - but I have natural S.R.K. (dry reef stones), they don't smell at all and the video of it is a dead rock, when it comes to life, who knows. And those Carolinas are already (I repeat) beautiful by the way - red.

Alicia5489

Well, they definitely didn't smell like rotten meat.

Reginald5073

They smelled of iodine - not to be confused with our Jedi Yoda.

Teresa

I bought a stone today (a former coral) weighing 5 kg... I thought it would be plenty... now I regret not buying another one just like it... I found some algae inside... and some dried fish (probably for beer), but overall the stone smells like fish. I rinsed it under running water and that's it...

William1830

Probably, the sprat smells like the sea.

Jacqueline5976

I had to buy beer for that reason.

John1464

Off-topic Everything is doomed - I knew the sea was a disease, but to sniff beer like a stone or lick it or gnaw on it - that's already a clinic. Sanya I found homemade wine in the fridge as a gift - it was brought a month ago - I think I'll try it, I still can't get enough - it turned out to be super wine.

Yvette209

Yes, S.R.C. (dry reef rocks) as a snack is cool!!! "Hannover's aquarium enthusiasts of marine aquaristics are the most serious in the world. They even snack on S.R.C. (dry reef rocks) with their beer!!!" (C) It's kind of analogous to the Chelyabinsk ones...

Jessica5016

Yesterday, my wife and her sister were flipping through the book "Reef Aquarium." I spent the whole evening answering the question, "Will you have corals like these?"

Natasha7622

Wow!!! The suction - it passes quickly - I was tortured like that with fish, but I managed to get a lot of money for proper equipment on this wave - saying that fish need it like in that picture.

Cheryl

something like this!

Holly

Here we go, the heat is on, hold on tight.

Christine864

I wonder how many days after salting all sorts of nastiness usually appears?

Jacob4800

Which one? The thread? It actually made me happy at first... like, at least there’s some life in the pile of glass and water.

Leah

In the first tank, I didn't have any "ripening" at all, in the quarantine tanks for about a week... but in the new tank, it hasn't happened yet, but it just got loaded (since yesterday).

Maria6659

It is rather pleasing that some kind of process is visible.

Jade

Another impatient one.

Melissa3820

No, I still have a lot of work to do with him, there's plenty to keep me busy.

Marie5348

This depends on many reasons, Seryoga. Start by not overdoing it with the light, create a good O2 regime, don't rush with the livestock, and use phosphate-free charcoal.

David7773

There is no light yet, and there is only water up to half the aquarium (the plumbing still needs to be finished), and there are no living creatures either. So for now, this isn't even a startup, just soaking the dry reef rocks. I didn't plan to get dirty this weekend; at least I bought everything I needed in advance.

Gene1948

Congratulations on the launch! The system will still need some fine-tuning. You've already been advised on how to reduce noise in the Durso, and the same goes for the skimmer and the drying compartment. The most important thing right now is the biology. We still need quality live rock, macrophytes, water from an established aquarium, etc. P.S. Is it possible to show a full photo of the sump?

Brianna

Oxygen-saturated water from the foam generator should flow into the display, i.e., it should not be recirculated.

Aaron

The quality is certainly terrible:

Justin9867

Is there a small hole in the drain pipe near the water level? When the return pump is turned off, does the water not get pulled back?

Stephen

It pulls up to a certain level. I already wrote in the post above.

Jessica

I'm sorry, I overlooked it... To prevent any overflow (I had a small flood), I simply drilled a hole near the drain nozzle, above the standard water level, and the problem disappeared into oblivion...

Joe

I also thought about doing that, but it turned out that it wasn't necessary; the water level drops by 1.5 cm.

Mitchell3177

But how will the mine stand without a comb?

Anthony4281

I had the same experience at first, then I installed a guiding nozzle, and the drain went into the water by 3 cm, maybe a little more, and that's when I got a flood. So I recommend not to forget. Although if the sump allows, it's not necessary.

Keith7534

There will be a comb, I just haven't bought it yet.

Teresa

Thanks, I'll keep track of when I put the comb on.

Joseph8842

Congratulations, I'm also close to the launch, I'm a couple of weeks behind you. I don't understand in Samp what role the capacity plays - the one around the small area where the pen holder is, or did I miss something? Or is it just a shelf for the pen holder?

Ryan1989

automatic refill capacity

Anna9752

I want to thank our Donetsk aquarist Igor for his tremendous help in setting up the aquarium!!!

Natasha7622

Here comes the first wildlife.

Judy

Offtopic Serёga... could you at least Photoshop me, huh? After beer, my face is as red as a lobster. What if my fate visits the site - and I'm not in shape. My personal life is gone) Come on, start laying down the J.K. (living stones) little by little. Light for the softness will work, you built a decent lamp. Everything will turn out fine. By the way, we still haven't decided what's better - distillate or osmosis)

Gary6376

The photo was taken with a mobile phone - you can't really see anything. I'll lay down the J.K. (living stones) before the weekend.

Cassandra7840

I wonder what these "millipedes" are crawling in my aquarium on the live rocks? ...................... Polychaetes?

Brent5588

Just don't touch it with your fingers - it will itch for a long time. Dig around here - you might find something interesting for yourself.

Brent5588

By the way, Igor, there are four hermits, but you brought three, it seems. Olya found another one, a small one.

Karen2578

I was promised to catch some more klebanarius. So if they bring them, I'll bring them over. You need more for your bath.

Ronald

There is also a place to dig here. A bunch of illegal immigrants.

Nicholas2252

Yes, they have plenty of space there now.

Curtis9143

It seems here are my hermits:

Stephanie3084

I laid down 10 kg of live rock: There is plenty of this kind of life on the glass: This is "from below": This is "from above": What is this?

Justin

Asterinks

Heather

I want to add something about the asterinas. They reproduce well in the aquarium and are detritivores. However, they can suppress clove polyps and parazoanthids, especially when they are numerous. I have repeatedly noticed them on the clove polyps, removed them, and transplanted them to other aquariums.

Beth3383

Asterina stars?

Kevin

What is that on the stone behind the coral? Is it artificial acropora? This is of course your aquarium, but to me it looks unnatural... It would be better to populate it with live corals later, and also... this was of course your choice, but to me the dry reef rocks are not quite well chosen, they are too large and round. I sent you the leftovers; at the very beginning, there were many dry reef rocks, and all the beautiful ones were picked out...

Charles

However, the stones are long and flat, so interesting structures can be built (Star, check out the aquariums of Taki and Sanek). It's better not to postpone this process, so that later you can just play with the corals.

Meghan

Seryoga is great!!! Personally, I really like the current situation with Kanev!!!

Zoe7451

There is nothing artificial there at all. The acropora is dead, it stood like a souvenir. The shells are also real - I tossed them to the hermits. I will still play around with the stones, there is time for now. You can't create a nice, beautiful composition all at once. Sometimes it's enough to just move one stone.

Brent8919

Sanya, thank you for the support. But the guys are also right about something. I'm not completely satisfied myself yet.

David3217

I like the concept - and then you can rearrange it a couple more times.

Wendy

Everything will be fine, MOSCOW wasn't built in a day.

Luis3725

I try to adhere to the concept, but the right stones are not always available. We generally don't have places to go and dig. In the meantime, I was laying the foundation of the reef and the foundation of balance. I will buy a few more stones, but already "individually."

Stacy6866

Seryozha, you still have everything ahead of you... And for a start, it's not bad at all. Let's see what the makeup designers will say when there are fish in the aquarium, and an additional 20% of good live rocks will be added. Why "divide the skin of a bear that hasn't been killed yet"?

Luis3725

Off-topic - tonight we have an evening of humor.

Erin2730

Thank you for the advice. This weekend, I will set up the lights and finish arranging the stones, as it also depends on the lighting (the play of shadows).

Nicholas2252

What kind of light will it be? The play of light and shadow won't be provided by LLL, it will come from a good MG light or LED.

Cassandra7840

I agree. I misspoke; it should have been written "With the light on....." The T5 light is 480 watts.

Aaron

Why T5 specifically? I actually prefer metal halide in a marine aquarium; the aquarium looks much more "interesting." It's easier to install than a bunch of tubes in a fixture, it penetrates light very deeply, and invertebrates respond better to metal halide light since zooxanthellae need bright light. Overall, it's all advantages.

Nicole2404

I wouldn't say that, there are also downsides to keeping softness and LPSs in MG.

Amanda

Check the colors of the SPSs at T5 on the reef center.

Emma

That's exactly why it's a matter of taste. I don't like MG, and I didn't have them even in fresh water. Besides, I don't plan to keep anything overly complicated. For me, it's just for the soul.

David953

There are different types of MG, and how many SPS are there in our aquariums? You should take a look at Fedor's aquarium for an example.

Stefanie9771

Could you please provide a bit more detail? A person with the nickname Arovana strongly recommended MG for softness on the fan site. Sorry for posting in your thread.

Johnny

And the bunnies?

Justin

I wrote my post because you mentioned bunnies, but there are no bunnies in LL, it's like the overcast weather in LL.

John5528

You are mistaken; the animals sold here live at shallow depths on the coral reefs of Indonesia, the Red Sea, etc. When I was on the reefs and snorkeling, I saw a vivid picture of the play of light and shadows. With focused light, you can create both bright and darker areas in the aquarium.

Jennifer9100

Perhaps I'm not stating a fact, but expressing my opinion. You can create a beautiful game with spot lighting, but I don't see the point in making ALL the light spot lighting. And the second problem is that I can't make the aquarium completely open from the top yet.

Justin9867

Here you are wrong. You can't catch them with a camera. But at least there's a video, even if it's of poor quality. Light - LL.

Kristen2246

With T5 lamps, you can highlight all the colors of corals, which cannot be done with metal halides. It seems to me that for more than half of the forum, aquariums are for the soul. When I started, I also thought there would be one anemone and a couple of clownfish (for the soul), but the result was about 30 species of SPS alone.

Darlene4238

In reality, it's more complicated. What does "brighten the colors" mean? The color is not actually the same as WE see it. We simply choose the lamps in such a way that the color appears as we imagine it. And of course, we make sure that this spectrum is also pleasing to the corals.

Sherri1320

A lot depends on the design of the lamp itself, on the design of the reflector. I currently have a 100-50-50 aquarium with one 250-watt lamp, and with a Gisman reflector, it illuminates almost the entire aquarium. The lamp does not get too hot; you can safely hold the housing in your hands, and the starter is separate from the lamp. There is also a regular household lamp of 150 watts; if you hang it over the aquarium, it only illuminates the central part of the aquarium. The glass is included with the lamp, and you can install a lamp with 15-20 thousand Kelvin, and the corals will fluoresce just as well as with metal halide.

Brandon9634

Can I see a photo of your aquarium to evaluate it, as there are many words but... P.S. I love when beautiful speeches are supported by showing photos of their aquariums, but for those who can't do that, they are just talkers for me. So please be kind.

Anne

Each coral has its own color and shade, which is enhanced or suppressed under certain lighting conditions. Light is a delicate matter; there are as many opinions as there are people. I don't need to look far; Tatiana has an aquarium that deserves the highest praise on many forums, and this is not an exaggeration. Many have seen her aquarium photos, and it is lit with T5 lights, the colors are superb, and the growth is excellent. If you need bunnies (I personally don't like them), you can install about four powerful LEDs at an angle to the water, and there will be bunnies.

Katie5500

Tolya, we need a UV light with VERY high power to penetrate 2 cm of water. The protective glass is a safety standard requirement; otherwise, you'll end up like Chuck (he was walking around blind for two days).

Melinda2740

It's not about the brand, it's about the spectrum. Usually, for LED lights, it's given in color temperature. White-blue is 6500K and above. The higher, the "bluer."

Lee425

Blue? You probably expressed yourself incorrectly. The color temperature of a lamp's glow corresponds to the light emitted by a metal heated to a certain temperature. Metal does not become "blue" when heated; rather, it becomes whiter. A bluish tint appears at 20,000K, and even then... Also, do not confuse spectrum and color temperature. Lamps with the same color temperature can have very different spectral characteristics.

John1464

Am I correct in understanding that, roughly speaking, the color temperature written on the lamp is the arithmetic mean of the spectral characteristics?

Vanessa

What do centimeters have to do with it, if after removing the protective glass from the MH lamp, some of the fish started to curl up and then completely bent over? I saw it myself. And if doubts still gnaw at you, I send you back to the guide "Reef Aquarium," open to page 142. If that doesn't work, try conducting such an "interesting" experiment yourself.

Jonathon8514

Almost. But 2+3-1=4 and 5+6-7=4, but the addends are not equal to each other, right? The same goes for lighting. Color temperature is good, but it is the spectrum that affects the color of living things that we see.

Amber

no.

Rita

Well, we are concerned with 2 factors. 1. The appearance and color of the livestock. 2. The necessary spectrum for coral growth. That’s why white lights are used for aesthetics and blue-purple lights for coral growth.

Robin

You are a little mistaken; it depends on the type of lamp. If it has a double socket, it should not be installed without glass. However, if it has a single socket, it can be installed without glass without any issues.

Laura7633

The discussion here is about the harm of UV radiation and protection against it.

Natalie

You can place them without glass at least in a freshwater aquarium with plants, the plants get stressed quite a bit. For single-socket lamps, in addition to the lamp itself, there is a protective second casing, so they do not need to be shielded with glass.

James5032

I was messing around with the stones. Just like always. I thought about moving a couple of them, but in the end, Olya and I moved the entire reef. I won't do it again; I got what I wanted.

Robin

Thoughtful, normal... But the second stone on the left should be placed horizontally, as it looks like it has fallen over... Overall, I like it; there are platforms for landing creatures.

Debra8438

The right part is absolutely amazing!!!!

Mitchell3177

already better, much better...............

Leah

This is a photo of me. It actually lies very steadily there. And the left part will change a bit more, depending on what the J.K. (living stones) will be later.

Chad231

Olya was doing

Jessica9188

Colleagues, please advise where and which corals are better to plant.

Hannah

Off-topic, well, well... everyone says that) like, "I'll just plant some actinia, a couple of clowns, and that's it. For the soul. Modestly and with taste." Meanwhile, the soul is looking around, rubbing its hands and thinking, "What else can I get and launch?" Appetite comes with eating.

Anne

Magnifico, but... it's still too early for me.

Elizabeth1221

The guys gave me algae for my birthday. Off-topic. How I welcomed them is a whole separate story. Igor gave me two corals, Ksenia and Sinularia. So now I have some living creatures.

Wendy2244

Algae. Photo: 1. Halimeda. 3. Batrachospermum. 4. Gracilaria. 5. Halimeda. 6. No data 7. Chetomorpha. 8. Phyllophora. 9. Caulerpa prolifera.

Kevin3579

Offtopic. Seryozha, don't lose the little fungus under Ksenia. Sometimes they travel around the aquarium without asking. It will turn green in the light.

Holly

I saw. Purple discoactinia. For now, it is staying in place.

John1464

I conducted water tests: kH - 10 pH - 7.7 NH4 - 0 NO3 - 12 PO4 - 0.2 Ca - 440

Wendy8540

Seryoga, buy magnesium.

Christopher

I will definitely buy it. For now, I measured with what I have.

Debra8438

and the pH is a bit low... at least make it an eight. Are you not turning off the pump and the flow for an hour?

Katie5500

No, I'm not turning it off. I measured the pH with a test, but they always lie. It needs to be measured with electronics.

Tricia7885

Did you measure the pH early in the morning?

Eric8832

No, in the evening, around 9.

Jason9952

Off-topic, but when will we be able to read about the friends' meeting?))))

Alejandro

Discovered "stowaways": Looks like Stoella. The second one resembles a crawling hat of black velvet color: What is this?!

Judy

Most likely, it's one of the nudibranchs. However, the coloration didn't turn out well.

Kristin

Well, maybe a little more...

Stacy6866

Thank you!!!

Ryan

Morning analysis of the patient's urine

Joshua3019

Seryoga-aaaa!!!! Did you happen to make an Excel-like file that automatically builds the test results into a graph? The graph clearly shows the dynamics back and forth. I've been struggling with template graphs in Excel for two days and still haven't figured it out - it turns out to be some nonsense for me.

Patrick4439

I did. I still have it like that now, but there are no measurements yet, so what can we build the graphs from? Send me your file - I'll do it.

Julia

I have an empty file titled Book-344. I planned to systematize everything from the papers - for my father-in-law every day (while I have the chance). It would be great to have the date on the X-axis and the series with KN-RN-SA-MG-NO3-PO4 on the Y-axis - in short, like you do.

John1464

It will be more convenient to have a separate chart for each parameter. This way, the dynamics of changes can be clearly seen.

Jessica5016

So fill in the data and send the file, I'll make the charts for you, then just extend the date range and that's it.

Jennifer5784

And it won't work with just one. The ranges of the measured values are too different.

John3432

By the way, the show-offs, as Sanya says, are quite "edible".....

Christine864

Well, that's great.

Caroline1599

Seryoga thought for a moment and decided to put the "tests" into Excel if he was going to approach it seriously. To have a ready-made template, he would input the test results into it, and let them be stored - from there, he could just press a button and get a graph for the necessary period or manipulations. Or maybe a bright mind will come up with some software for this purpose.

Dawn6148

In Access, there is a lot of headache at first, but then something might come out of it. It won't work in 2-3 minutes like in Excel; I just tried it.

Christopher1774

Assessment is just not serious. And you won't be able to extract graphs from there. You'll need at least Delphi + FastReport. Excel is perfect for such purposes, you don't have millions of records. There is ready-made software called Aquarix. I can give it to you, though I have version 4.16. It builds graphs and even suggests when to change the water and replace the lamps.

Barbara8192

Off-topic, oh yes, very serious. I wrote a database for my business "Personnel Accounting" in 1998 - it does everything, even connects with the Dutch office, synchronizes, and automatically generates special documents. But I've become old and lazy - although the database will consist of 20 fields, it's still cool. Oh, it would be interesting to take a look - but usually, in such software, there's a mountain of unnecessary stuff.

David4089

Be a friend - send me the software - otherwise, all the links for downloading ask for a mobile number and SMS - I don't want to expose my mobile online, I have a lot of cards and money linked to it.

Joshua9340

Sanya, are you reading your messages?

Another "stowaway" (although it could also be from): Ophiura. I assume Ophiolepis superba.

After the repairs and some modifications (I simply glued the legs to the body of the skimmer and replaced the feet on the pump with wider and taller ones, as it was very noisy), the skimmer finally worked properly (in my understanding). In a day, it collected 150 grams of skimmate the color of apple juice (I don't know if that's good or bad).

Ryan7682

Interesting fact: Last Friday, I placed J.K. (live rocks) from another aquarium. The entire rock was covered with bright spots of cyanobacteria. By this morning, not a single spot remained (not even a tiny one). A question for colleagues - does this mean anything?

Todd8452

Maybe it was Carolina?

Janet5447

Well, I can't say, I'm not an expert. Bright pink spots with a light border, like lichen. It looks a bit like that in the photo. If it was her and she's gone, that's a bad sign. Although the aquarium is still in the process of being set up. At least there are no diatoms or other nastiness.

Patricia1746

No, not superba. These are "my" freeloaders. I brought them to you with the first stone. Asteroids (damn them), polychaetes, and ophiuroids, which, by the way, I also inherited from a). They will be small, the ophiuroids, with a reddish-purple center.

Debra

Carolina! She will recover later - if you want.

Katie3017

Wow, those are "small." The one in the photo is bigger than a ruble coin.

Hannah

So, if she is gone, then .... 1. something is missing. 2. there is too much of something. The question is WHAT???

Elijah7048

Off-topic Have you seen an adult superbug?) I had a horse the size of a good palm crawling around... My daughter screamed when she saw it.

Rita

Seryozha, Karolina doesn't just disappear out of nowhere. It's just that among the incrusting types, there can be varieties whose structure is quite fragile and responsive to changes in conditions. Karolina, if it's the real Karolina, can't be easily pulled away, and if she decides to vanish, it won't be right away.

Jennifer

So it wasn't Carolina. It's a pity I didn't take a photo. It looked beautiful. Well, maybe it will show up again.

Michelle1662

Finally finished the light and power unit, which is also the control unit: The dimensions of the unit were chosen based on the principle of "to fit into the furniture." Functions of the unit: 8 channels of manual control with indication; 8 channels of automatic control (from timers, temperature sensors, pH sensor); pH and EC measurement; temperature measurement (8 sensors); control from buttons or from a computer via USB port. It can also maintain an hourly log of measurements throughout the day. The memory is non-volatile + a battery to power the processor core during power outages.

Jade

to me, the lid looks too bulky...............

Veronica

Looking at the lid, the first thing that came to mind was a clear example of what is a Base and what is a Superstructure. And the color doesn't fit either. "Something needs to be decided..." Although sorry. There's no arguing about tastes, it's pure.

Nicole2404

Why not just hang a light fixture from cables to the ceiling and remove all these side clutter? It will look stylish, and you can adjust the height of the light fixture to the water level with the cables, plus the water won't heat up as much as it would inside that "POWERFUL" lid.

Nicole7122

Unfortunately, it's not about the taste; it's a requirement from my beloved wife - the lid is MANDATORY!!! So I had to get creative. It turned out to be a kind of "lid-light." Well, we'll see how it goes from there. The light itself is removable - it just sits on the base, so taking it off and hanging it up is a matter of a couple of hours (hanging it up takes just a minute). For now, it's fine as it is. I wanted to focus on making the light. By the way, in the photo, the lid actually looks almost bigger than the aquarium; that's how distorted the perspective is.

Elizabeth882

How many fans are working for cooling? Is there a photo from above? (to show the internals)

Wendy2244

Why doesn't the color of the chipboard of the cabinet match the color of the top? And what is the distance from the light fixture to the water? Is the light fixture positioned too high?

Rodney3101

I didn't install coolers; I had a 7-unit air conditioner specifically installed. To see the filling, you need to remove the light fixture. What are you interested in regarding the filling? Here it is, 20 cm. I think it's fine. For corals and fish, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't match because all the other furniture in the room is the color of the lid. Unfortunately, this cabinet is not the right color.

Denise

Next tests.

Linda

I understand that you are diligently measuring both JBL and Ptero. However, there are discrepancies in the results. One more question: how did you get a value of 0.05 for the Ptero test on NO2? Do you have any other tests? On the color scale, I only have "less than 0.3" and 0.3. Are there any special tests for the sea?

Martin3206

The management was implemented - well done, no one even noticed = I no longer have everything on the controllers... And the cover is still just a name... maybe it should have been made from acrylic for the sides?

Holly

Less than 0.1 but there is something. So 0.05 Tests from the new series.

Larry9400

I'm not arguing. I'm waiting for my wife to make sure there's no significant dampness from the sea, then I'll take down the light fixture and hang it up. It was important for me to install the light. That was the plan, but there was no acrylic, and doubts are gnawing at me—there will be splashes, salt will dry, and the transparency will be lost.

Raven7170

The humidity will be high, especially in winter; I had water on my windows. I need a dehumidifier.

James4757

The air conditioner has a function like that, it seems to work.

Stephanie4990

I have about 5 liters spoiled per day - there are no issues with humidity at all. Regarding the acrylic glass - I have light from A on acrylic legs = again, there are no problems so far, it looks decent.

Phillip9722

For now, it will stay like this. If I can't convince Olga, I'll redo the sides in acrylic. Right now, the launch process is more important to me.

Robert1845

The pipefitters spread their cunning nets:

Amanda

I apologize. Which air conditioner are you referring to?

Melissa3820

Midea

Kevin8087

If there is a link to the air conditioner, I would like to see its specifications.

Jason5071

Yes, there are plenty of them on the internet.

Joe

If it comes to using it in winter at -7 degrees outside, it cannot be used, like most air conditioners.

Jason

Off-topic, the "dehumidification" function is available in many air conditioners, even in my cheap "Saturn," but in winter, not all air conditioners can be turned on - you will have to either ventilate frequently or install "micro-ventilation" on the windows or a comb on the handle (I think almost everyone has plastic by now) - there won't be water on the windows, but increased humidity will still be present to some extent.
