Don’t go mad with the putty if doing so , but the first foot 🦶 of the rock to stop the structure from sounding helps and you will be able to scrape that one piece off if need be . Just helps secure things 👍🏼

Thanks man x part 2 - soon

It’s lovely mate .well pleased .

Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi Bill , between the skimmer and the ATO 👍🏼

Nah I just glued the first rock to stop it slipping to the base - I’ll regret that in another 6 years . The water was from the porosity of the rock dribbling …

Hi Andy( Brett) We just shortened a standard program to keep within a 10 hour cycle , shifted the white to more or less the start of the day which runs for about 4 hours …then over to the blues mostly -no moonlight .

You can run in the skimmer - just don’t let it actually skim until you have completed maturation . The level control should be set low

My peninsula has been running for a month now and I just turned the skimmer on basically after the tank cycled.

That will be fine . It’s all about the starting process and whether the choice was to use dead rock and sand and a maturation program, as opposed to using liverock and live sand and partially mature water in terms of Turing a skimmer on or leaving it off . There’s no single right way but it sounds like your doing fine . Part 2 conning soon . All the best

We added a 100watt heater ( that’s the only thing they don’t come with ) . Later on you might want to consider an extra flow pump as your garden grows , but not needed at first 👍🏼 .

@@aactv3223 thank you!

@AmyLouiseee12345 if your local by all means pop by and see the peninsular if you wish .

@@aactv3223 where are you based?

Hi 👋 , thank you -yes great choice ! We still love the tank very much so and it has developed well in the following episodes . I can’t remember the actual model of extra circulation pump I added the latest smallest jecod flow pump MOW4 I think 🤔…but I’m considering a Redsea Reefwave 25 vertically or at least trying one to see if it’s not to powerful as the tank has now really grown out.

@aactv3223 1 one question what heater have you got in there ? Thanks again

@@wayneranns4048 just a simple Sera 100watt 👍🏼but it is a warm room . Ambient from temp 20-24c

Agreed at times - I hear you , I’m only a newbie but I sort of favoured the not too polished look too if you understand what I mean . But hey 👋 I used a tripod for all of about 20 seconds in the follow up 😂 I’m editing now . Thanks 🙏🏻 for watching and I appreciate the comments . Paul aac
