griss' Tank Upgrade Thread

[griss]

I am very sorry about your 4 legged friend. Its so hard to say good-bye. We have a 15 yr old shih tzu mix. He is deaf, arthritic, demanding and grumpy. He didn't used to be that way but the past year and a half he has changed. Its painful to see him this way but not as painful as what you are going through.

The lights look great as does the tank.

Thanks, Dawn. We had a Shih Tzu that made it to 15. Like your’s he was deaf, arthritic and grumpy. But, our’s was almost blind and we’re pretty sure he had dementia if dogs can get that.

I’ve had dogs my entire life. My parents raised and showed Borzoi and Italian Greyhounds as a hobby. There was something about Macy (the one we put down) that really hit me. She and I had a very strong bond.

Sorry to hear but also Looks good! I might spread them out just a bit more to hit some of that upper level shadowing on the left and right side outlined roughly in redView attachment 32416849

How far over would you suggest moving them? Right now, this is how far the mounting bracket is from the upright.

Maybe 2-3 inches max should do it

The way you should space them is not intuitive.

I moved them over 2” and spaced the others out a bit. I think I’m good now. Thanks @Reefing102 and @wvned

Got approval from Mrs griss and ordered 10 lbs of KP live rock.

Looked back to 2017. I ordered 30 lbs KP premium rock. Today, 10 lbs delivered is more than the 30 delivered then. Stupid UPS.

Weird, thing I discovered last night. I went downstairs to thaw food for the fish and all the lights were out. I grabbed the laptop that I use for them and my programming was gone and it had gone back to one of the default profiles. I'm guessing it might be from synching the lights I got yesterday without factory resetting them. Took forever to get them reprogrammed because my laptop kept disconnecting from Euronet and losing my changes.

Hopefully it will stay set once it’s done

Lights seem to be working fine tonight.

They all have the same firmware right?

The kids all came over for my B-day (was actually on Wednesday) today. They brought Dave’s Hot Chicken and various snacks.

They gave me $100 to spend at a LFS, a Flipper DeepSee Aquarium Viewer and this t-Shirt.

Many Happy Returns! (get it, returns? As in return pipe?)

Went to the local crappy Petco and was shocked they had Halloween hermits so, I picked one up.

They also have a purple LTA that looked so-so. I’ll keep and eye on it over the next couple weeks and if it looks better, I’ll pick it up. I’ll keep it in the 40 until I’m sure the 150 is stable.

Thank you.

Moved a couple Zoa frags, a small Gorg frag and an Acro frag over from the 40 to see how they’ll do.

Happy Birthday!
