Slow going but that's ok!

The hood is sealed, fitted and installed the electric lift with remote. When i need to get in the tank i push the up button.

So I started moving over some of the corals to test everything. So far so good.
will update with pics soon and a vid of the lift in action!

[rocko918]

OK here are some updated photos. i am still not done with everything. The hood needs to be finished off with a skin. I need to hook up the fan to the luminarcs. Some of the wiring needs to be cleaned up and the kalk is not setup yet.

Here is the frag tank, 50 gal breeder lit by 5 t5's. And the plumbing, skimmer and 2 pumps.

the frag tank.

Someone's frags i am holding for them.

This is my Actuator that lifts the hood on the other side of the wall.

hood lifted up by the electric motor.

Better pics of the tank next week.
