  2. Got another toy. :)

    I ordered a Majano Zapper from PaulB last week. This is a device that was cleaned up from the version I posted about last January / February when a buddy of mine let me watch his DIY handiwork in Seattle take out some pest anemones. PaulB decided he could make a better mousetrap and fabricated something I was willing to hold -- after all, it is an electrical device we submerge in our saltwater system!

    Before you ask, I don't know if he's going to make any more of these at the moment ...

    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 ...

  5. Hopefully my lights are set now

    After several attempts at new lighting, I think I have settled on something that will work for me. I have been running 150w Phoneix DE for about a year now, and have decided since I have eneded up primarily SPS, that I would move up to 250w Radium halides. At first I tried LumenArc reflectors, which blocked too much airflow in my canopy, they were too large in there as well, forcing me to take out my VHO's that did sunrise/sunset. For my 18" depth, they were heating up the water in my short ...
