Inspecting the Tank


150 build by t_allicock2, on Flickr

I will NEVER again have electronics under the tank directly near my Sump. It is absolutely a DISASTER waiting to happen. I have traced SOOO many equip failures due to controller malfunction primarily caused by humidity.. SO I Built a Electrical Cabinet!

It forms a Flush even L shape with my Main tank and will act as a stand for my frag tank!

One Thing I did not cover was LIGHTING. Thats because I have 3 Options!

1. 2X 48x3w LED Fixtures with Solar Simulation Controllers + 2x CoralVue T5 Fixtures with 4 54w T5 Bulbs in them to color shift the spectrum.

I used Dr. Tim's and cycled for 3 weeks. After that my old tank needed to go so I moved everything into my frag tank. After moving a few test SPS over to the big tank to test lighting I moved almost everything over. I currently have over 30 additional SPS to move into the main tank but I'm taking my time with placement.

This is where I'm at now!

Well I had a bout with ICH. Pulled them all out ran UV/OZONE and Kick Ich. Also fed all fish Dr. G's - Saved who I could which was everything except my Kole Tang and sold them off to friends. I wasn't about to keep them in a qurantine tank for weeks on end.

In the mean time I did some Updatin! and Took some Pics.!!!
