Pax-Bellum ARID N12

[atlorange]

Very, very impressed with this piece of equipment. Really the first gadget that has exceeded my expectations in the hobby.

Of course there are cheaper ways of growing chaeto, but for me, I am not much of a DIYer, I didn't want to light my sump because of light bleed and nuiscance algae growth. I didn't have much space so this thing is perfect for me.

Just look at the results. The first pics are from 4/10, the growth pics are from today. I was shocked.

Overall the product is very well made, thick sturdy acylic, very easy to disassemble and harvest the algae.

Even at $450 I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to grow chaeto and lack the space for a traditional fuge.

7 days growth, you could sell chaeto to pay for the unit!

I agree with this , between ebay other national forums and the saltwater buy sell trade and other sw Facebook groups you could sell a several bags a week easily

Looks like a solid product

wow, i like that gadget, looks like something i would have on my tank.

Thanks for the idea. If production rates stay the same over a few weeks I might have to consider selling bags.

Can you do some before and after of your tank?

No change to the tank yet. It's only been a week. Im going to stop with GFO, in hopes the ARID will take care of free phosphate.

Yeah I figure would ask before there was a change so you could do the before. If you can?

Sweet! Nice rock work. I bet you will see a huge difference in coloration over the next few weeks.

Yeah, I expect the color will improve, but the color is not as bad as in the photo. I took that at about 7000K and 100%. Picks look way too blue under my normal lighting. I need to find a happy medium.
