**I lost a handful of torches due to my Ecotech doing a firmware/software upgrade. It randomly changed the intensity to 100%. About a 15% difference. After finding the cause and making the adjustment, I was able to save a few of my torches. Lost a malaysian sun god I just bought and torches that grew out to about 10 heads from 1/2!! Thats the hobby for you!!

***Shout out to NYRA. Lost a few of their pieces due to shipping in the recent cold and they will be replacing items lost. Which is awesome so cant complain. That's good service for you so at this time, definitely would recommend them!

Long story short -- Go to: start here if you want to jump to the build!

I was preparing to move to Florida and live that life until....

My son got into Bergen Academy (also, St. Joe's and BC) and make no mistake there was no question that getting into this school and program means great opportunity to challenge him academically that most schools cant compare.

It has been a great decision and he is loving it. It is extremely tough and school days are LONG but he is making his way with high goals for college.


Ok...not so short.

I sold off all my old equipment and bam I have been stuck here since with no tank. Bought an evo again but now mainly sits in my driveway covered.

But took the plunge recently and the journey of headaches began!!

This was supposed to be a "budget" build.

So I jumped and found a decent deal for a RedSea Max Nano that I could use to hold me down for 2 years. Started buying equipment, doing this and that. I planned om a floating aquascape with Finally, I was ready to fill with water and BAM found a leak(drip). So plab B.

Start here

Onto the build! Plan B.

Curious about the flow with the 2 Nero 3s and the MightyJet. I've got one Nero 3 in my tank and it's almost too much, but with that many euphyllia, you probably need the spread. You running them in pulse mode or constant?
