You know I am finally getting to the point where I need to frag to keep things from touching.... Sometimes they do battle and sometimes they don't. Unfortunately if this growth keeps up the RC MODS will slow down my ability to sell. Well I guess we should all have that problem... I can always donate them to the club to sell. But its nice to supplement the hobby...


Biggest contributors to my growth was keeping the nitrates in the detectable level and putting my MP10's on a 5 second anti sync long pulse mode...

Since them I am fragging about once every two weeks...

Maybe time to do a new video...
 
Here ya go...

This is a sweet looking tank and is giving me lots of ideas for my next build. I just looked at a 60 cube yesterday.

Thanks... love the 60 cube. Two suggestions to all who want one. Put most of the rock in the sump because there is no room with all this rock I the DT... Also make the stand wider to accommodate more junk. My stand holds a 20 high...
 
Video Update...

So my APEX has been having issues. Anyone who has seen my tank knows I am a "control freak" and it runs everything. It has been locking up but in a false state of 18 degrees and 2.6 PH... and of course just before it locks up the heater outlet turns on. It will do this 5 times a day of one every 5 days or somewhere in between. Whatever it wants...

So after looking at the log files Neptune Systems wants it to come in. Now they have great great customer service and were even communicating with me on weekend... But the one thing they don't have is an advance replacement program. They will discount the purchase of a new base unit so I opted for that. The only down side is waiting. Apparently they use UPS rather than USPS priority so it is taking a week to get it rather than 3 days to get it... I am guessing UPS gives them a huge discount.

So I reprogram some outlets to remain "ON" when they lose contact with the base unit. My heater (and chiller in case the heaters go nuts), my lights and my skimmer. I cant do the same with my BRS Dosers so that sucks. But last night I turned my skimmer off before I went to bed and dosed reefbooster. Well in the middle of the night the system crashed and the skimmer turned on. Anyone who uses reefbooster knows it will overflow your skimmer. And overflow it did... No alarms because the unit was locked up...

So now I am laughing at all the people who said why put a tub in the bottom of your stand "how much can that possibly hold" they said. Well I will tell you... It will hold an inch of skimate...And thank god it did. So this morning I am in there cleaning this out and drying it up. Thank god the ATO did not dilute the salinity...
