New update.
Just got the new koralia nano powerhead. And a theo heater.
Did a 50w so the temp doesn't fluctuate.
They turn off the heat at the office on weekends.
Long to run it off a reefkeeper to keep it safe.

Good news. Coral started growing in. zoas, mushrooms and caps.
Bad news lost my hammer. Don't know what happened!

Pictures this week.

Sorry about the hammer.

If no extra functions are needed, there are heaters that come with auto shut off at a temperature FACTORY SET(in case of malfucntioning) for you or you can also purchase thermal shut off, which is basically a socket and a temperature sensor, when the sensor reach a temperature YOU SET, it will shut off the power at fraction of the cost of the Reefkeeper.

Wingo you're right. But with the heater recall and such I'd rather be safe than sorry. I even set my heater for 78 degrees. And it makes the water 80. Fully calibrated too. So now I have it set at 76. And even then I see the reefkeeper override it. By turning it fully off once in a while.

Also I use the reefkeeper for a variety of functions. Turn of the powerheads for food. And the best of all.

Dimming the LEDs.
I just love the sunset/ sunrise function.


Thanx

Curious as to how much reefers are willing to put in the reef controller for a nano tank such as the Edge.

How much you paid for the whole controller setup including probes and what functions so you have purchased so far and other options considering to purchase in the near future?

All I have is the reefkeeper lite. About 120$
Mainly bought it for the dimming function.
Then the other 2 outlets are powerheads and heater.
Pretty simple as its just my office tank.

Sweet setup. Let's see some new pics.

Do I need to get an ALC to control the light or the RKL already come with some port to control the light?

Thx again.

Joey, how are you? That purple gorg you gave me is so pretty. Wondering if you knew what kind it was? I wanted to find out if it come sin other colors. I absolutely love it.

 

[NYC Joe]

Hey Kat!
It is a purple whip.
It's photosynthetic so it's easy to take care of. Had a yellow one. But didn't do too well

I have one with large polyps too if you want a piece.


Thanx

[Metrokat]

Can I see a picture?

I recently counted, I seem to have 7 unique species of gorgonians!

 

[NYC Joe]

I think it's in my large tank thread.
The 60gal. Right next to the purple gorgs.

Looks good Joe. A lot of growth from last set of pics.

I borrowed my coworkers Nikon D50 camera yesterday in the hopes of taking some good pics but couldn't work that thing for the life of me. The manual was at least 100+ pages..lol
