Two of my boys made me go through this whole thread just to see the pictures and videos. HAHAHA

They are jealous.

Now that's one hell of a setup. I'm jealous.

Loving the amount of detail your putting into this setup,keep up the great work!!!

Looking great Dave! Love the addition of the radions. I've love to take another tour of the tank whenever you can fit it in.

I have been thinking about adding two MP60WES to my display tank. I see you are using MP60WES as your primary means of water movement in this tank. Many reviews of the MP60WES say they are quite noise. What is your opinion as far as noise and performance?
Thanks

He did the same thing on my build. I wanted to say something but I didn't want to lose my privileges.

Last time I talked to him the chiller stuck on & brought the tank down to 58 degrees. Not good.

He hasn't even been on RC for about 6 weeks...

You would think a controller would of prevented this problem before it dropped so low.

I do know he was hard at work figuring out how it could have happened. He was very discouraged and worked above and beyond what anyone would have expected to salvage what he could. I know the blue spot was saved. I asked about it in particular. I think it was just one of those equipment malfunctions that happened just right. I never did hear if he figured out the cause.

Out of curiosity. I have a controler, but even if it is hooked up and coded properly couldn't your temp probe go bad? If it started giving off high temp readings causing the chiller to run and the lights and heater to shut down wouldn't this be the outcome? Just asking for my own personal knowledge. How would you avoid this? I have a regular thermometer and a digital one as a second and 3rd back up, but they aren't hooked up to the controller so I wouldn't be allerted. Is there a fail safe for the scenario involving a temp probe that just suddenly shoots out a bad reading? Does that even happen?

Get another module with another temp probe as a back-up

I think a system this big and expensive probably could use a couple of backups...
