  1. Apex Wireless Module Setup

    So yesterday I got my shipment of the new MP60 and the Apex wireless module. I needed to upgrade the firmware and the web pages from apex as I was behind one update. Those of you that have not updated recently may want to becase the new pages are live and look like the ones Curt had at MACNA 2012. Here is my status screen as an example:




    As you can tell that is ...

  2. Sometimes you have to start again

    Well couldn't overcome the hair algae issues from a second hand tank I bought so all live stock sold and tank stripped down. When removing all items the state of them was awful and all now cleaned up and like new.

    Decided while tank stripped going to buy the Tunze 9002 upgrade and Media rack as they seem to improve the water clarity and flow etc.

    Taken a while to do but worth it as know when complete will have a lovely tank again.

    Algae! But only on one side because someone forgot to turn on ALL the lights one day.






    Got in on a BRS group order this week and broke the proverbial bank. That sobbing you hear is my wallet crying in the corner. ...

  4. January Full Shot

    I owe a FTS for this month so here you go. This was a quick Iphone 4s shot with some editing for flavor. In the future I am going to be adding some more blue LED's to the front of the tank to help bring out the corals in pictures.




    The tank is doing well at this time. I am adding one to two corals a month as I can afford. Really need to sell our old house soon. I am finally ...

  5. Tastes Salty!

    Since October, my last update, I've been pretty busy...and I'm only going to get busier because the tank is wet! We're at the end of the cycle now, just letting things flow as we're not on any particular schedule here. Although amusingly enough Tibet is quieter then our grow out tank. I attribute it to the wide overflow, and the sump design.

    I have a skimmer on order, an RLSS r10, which I'm dying to get my hands on. So far the tank has run completely skimmerless since it was filled. ...
