In to the Deep

The room has been rearranged to the wife's liking. I got the corner overflows plumbed, light fixture assembled, pre-plumbed the 2 UVs, sump, and 2 recirculation pumps. I am a little upset the new light has a bad HID ballast

Tank is looking sharp, stinks about the bad ballast.

Thanks. It does stink when new equipment doesn't work but it's all good, I am really enjoying my new hobby.

I envy you man. I have a 55g and I want to buy a used 180g from my LFS but can't afford it. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming they are great.

Plumbed today. Things didn't go exactly as planned, but it is all in. I broke one of the tubes for the UV, the new tube on order:squigglemouth:. Wiring the reef keeper next.

The tank is going to look awesome!!!

I hear ya on the equipment malfunctions. I upgraded my lights and skimmer earlier this year and they both had issues. My deltec skimmer was beat up and damaged. My lights had a bad cable, dead fan and malfunctioning power supply.

A/C was out at the house so I had to be home to wait for the repairman. I wasted time working on the wiring for the tank. I started routing the cables for all the pumps, heater and lighting. I also mounted the ballast for the UVs sterilizers.

I mounted the ReefKeeper on the door and built a swinging mounting plate for the modules.

Nice use of "wasting" time.

I did a little work on the tank. Added calcium and carbon reactors. Installed a wireless network extender ( the tank is now online ) and fired up the reef-keeper. I still am not happy with the wire routing but it is getting closer.
