Day 4!
Happy Tuesday Evening!
So I think I have the chiller calibrated more accurately to the thermometers. The temps are finally stable between 79 - 80. The tank seems pretty clear (finally) after getting home from work today and not any more noticeable algae growth.
Parameters:
My iphone camera sucks at taking pics of the tank so I will begin to use a real camera in the future. In the meantime...here are a couple of pics from day 4. I'm using Aquarimate from the app store to record all parameters.
I still need to hook up the two powerheads, ATO and doser...hopefully by the end of this weekend but there is no hurry.
Edit: 1st water change complete!
Should I add more sand?
