lol..been using a flashlight. I mounted the apex display on the outside of the cabinet so I rarely open the controller side. The other side houses my test equip, dry food, and ATO jug so I go in there at least once a day.
I have a couple of those puck lights in my gun safe. They work pretty well, so I guess I need to get a couple for the tank stand now!

Mr2KiEu · 09/08/2014, 10:02 PM

I use those currently. Got them from IKEA for $2.99 each. Works great.

Reduck · 09/09/2014, 04:38 PM

Been busy. With everything but the tank...added the second mp today..fighting a sand bed outbreak too...couple new corals. The peach scoly is insane!

Reduck · 09/09/2014, 04:42 PM

Jeez. You would think I know how to take a photo. Sorry. I'll get new ones up soon.

kevinrf · 09/09/2014, 07:08 PM

I put the light lower so I don't have anymore light spill.
I ordered an Avast ATO pump because the tom aqua lifter couldn't do the job!

Found a killer deal on RC for a Kessil a350w I couldn't pass up.

Goodbye ebay led fixture....Hello Kessil

About 13" above the tank at the moment.

Gotta say, since installing the ato, microbubbles all but disappeared. I just set level right at edge of rear chambers,

kevinrf · 09/23/2014, 12:00 PM

for those using the ghost skimmer.. how are you using the drain hole for excess waste? Since it sits lower in the tank, attaching a line it will have to go down & then up.. so it seems like that would not work correctly?

Yea. I just uncapped it and have it "aimed" into the sump. I have never let it get filled enough to overflow. I just figured if it ever ran out of there, it would just return to where it came from anyway...

kevinrf · 09/23/2014, 02:18 PM

Yeah, right now I have in uncapped.

Media baskets shipped 👍

Yep, got him to add floss to my shipment just before he closed the box!
Need to find a lfs or someone that has some chaeto to unload. I'll probably be ready for it by next weekend.

Not an LFS, but he runs out of his house I believe "Ultimate Corals" in Jackson. He should have some I would think.

or Aquarium Care Center on 35

I've never been to UC, but I'm just assuming he has it, lol

Reduck · 09/24/2014, 11:29 AM

You should stop in there! There is not one coral in my tank from any other seller. He even gave me my largest piece of LR.
Amazing selection and he can get any coral your heart desires if he does not have it.
If you want to stop over there sometime on a weekend, lmk and I'll meet you there!

Sounds good! I'll let you know

Wish I was going to the NJ frag swap(10mins from my house) but I'm working all day

kevinrf · 09/25/2014, 10:48 AM

would another MP10 be overkill?
