walmart, amazon, target, ect all sell the netgear adapter. I got mine at Walmart since I wanted it now.

Loving the build so far. I'm seeing more and more folks go with this simple rock formation. I'm curious to see what this will look like in the next few months. Keep the updates coming my friend.

Thanks guys

Soul, I went to radio shacks, Best Buy, Walmart, and Office Depot. None of these companies carry any longer, but I bought a Belkin dual band range extender and it works great. I was able to finish everything today and have it all up and running. Waiting on a wireless upgrade for mp10 and a Kessil to apex wire and then I should be finished. Lfs got a nice shipment in, so I bought five lps before my tank is even finished cycling.... Owell.

They also had that nice torch, but the green will overrun this small tank in a hurry

very nice electronic install and that hammer is sweet.

Thanks! It was a pain for sure. I just hope it keeps working without many or any issues.


Would you go for the bubble or torch, bubble is paid for but I think it may be too big....and that torch is so nice.

 

[soulpatch]

neither really. The bubble can and will get very large and the torch is cool but there are other that have more color. That hammer though.... wow its nice looking.

Lol well, I'm kinda stuff as I paid for them already. And yeah, I really like the hammer as well. They had just put coral in water from shipment and my buddy that works there told me I needed to go look. Glad I did!

I can't believe how high in price blasto have gotten though..

I think the tank looks better with minimal rock especially for the lagoon tank

Same here. Although I won't really be able to fit many Coral so I am trying to figure something out. I don't want a tank full of rock, but I don't want to put in four coral and it be full. I guess that's where a bigger tank would come in handy lol.

Pics of the pieces in tank

And then there's the ugly bubble...

My phone does a good job at taking horrible pictures, the bubble looked good for a while the first day and hasn't been looking all that great since.

This baby coming home today

Latest shots of coral, everything seems to be doing nicely.

Think I'm going to get rid of the Kessil because the ways it's made is irritating me. It turns off at 15% so it is messing up programming through apex. The color will be only at 36% when it's supposed to fade out to 0 and it will shut off because the intensity gets to 15%...

Tank looks great! What lights do you plan on using?

Thank you, having some issues now but nothing overly serious. I will be using a Radion instead of the Kessil.
