Next week I have certainly again hardly time to write in RS ..... therefore, still a new FTS !

btw .... the lighting in this FTS are 4 x T5, it is the transitional phase of HQI to blue light.

 

[nikkipigtails]

Absolutely magnificent!

What kind of lighting do you have over your reef?

Hello Diane .... of course I have someone, which supplies my aquariums in my absence. One of my sisters looks daily twice and feeds the animals. The most important things (ATO etc.) were automated by me and must be settled maximally once in the week (adjustment of the Balling dosing quantities etc.).

 

[dianezoo]

Thanks Heinz,I figured you had some auto equipment rigged to deal with it. Sisters are great if you got em close by. I dred going on any trip becuase everytime something has gone wrong with the tanks. I do not have anyone who is fish-wise who I can rely on. Last time I taped little baggies to the out side of the tank with unit dose feedings for each tank becuase they had different needs. and marked the baggies:sun, mon, tue, etc on each bag. The top off water was a problem. I guess I need ace ventura. second thought maybe not.
