    A little bit more progress has been made.

    First a shelf was made in the fish room for the leg tank. Below will be the final home of the RO/DI, along with some storage space for additional salt and some bigger supplies. For perspective purposes I'm standing in the doorway, at my right is the utility sink, and to the left is the back of the tank.


    Temporary home of the RO/DI. Eventually all ...

  3. My inner mad scientist is begging to be let out.

    Having recently found my self suddenly and unexpectedly unemployed, I have too much time on my hands. While it's been great for my clean up efforts, it also allows me way too much time to invent, reinvent and experiment. I love to experiment and DIY different little ideas. I've had one crazy idea for a while now and have been running a prototype in a 20 gal attached to my main system. I call it a refugium for lack of a better word. It's unlit with about 3 inches of sand and gravel mix with a few ...

    We finally have a firmer schedule on our tank build!
    - This afternoon; sign off on the build plans with Concept Aquariums (our builder)
    - End of November; glass arrives to the builder
    - December; Tibet is assembled on-site in my basement!

    I've been seeing all these posts for clams, and corals, and its killing me not to be buying anything. I am having a hard time exercising patience.

    We bought the supplies to make a Majano Zapper. I'm hoping to assemble ...

  5. Step-by-step Instructions for DIY LED's

    I have noticed that there are not many places where you can find information on DIY LED's for beginners, and I haven't seen any blogs on Reef Addicts yet, so I thought I'd post my experience. I am not an expert by any means, I am just a beginner myself. This blog will only include what I have learned from others and what I've learned from my own mistakes. If there is any information that is incorrect or not complete please comment and add it to this info.
