Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

Mark,
Very nice vid :). Why in the world are you up at 4:00 AM??? I am secretly thinking of getting a new camera. Not sure how the other half will feel about it so I am keeping it to myself for a while. I just want to get better WB and get a newer style Nikon. I have all the cool lenses, I just need a newer model. We shall see how that goes.
 
Thanks Alicia.

4am is a regular occurrence for me :sad1: I have not been sleeping very well ever since I walked out to the mess in the front room last week. I keep hearing "noises" and freaking out about the tank. This really needs to stop :(

A new camera; Nice :D Sanjay and Rich K love their D700. I have seen that the D300 has video now and the D90 is a good upgrade as well. I know that I have been eyeing a new body as well. Am I never not eyeing something :lol:
 
I wondered if it was something like that. Kind of like a mama or papa that hears every irregular breath their baby makes and is up in a flash. Hehehehe, your tank is definitely your other baby :D.

I'll need to check things out and have it all figured out before I "present" the idea :).
 
Mark, did you get your Apex running?

I got the basics up and running yesterday; Temp, PH, Vho's, Ballast1, Ballast2, Moon LED's, Heater and canopy fans. I still have two ports open for future programming once I get things online. One of those two will be for the skimmer and the other one will most likely be for the fan I place in the sump area during the warmer months :thumbsup:

Good deal! Did you decide to have it control your tunzes?

Not quite sure. I still need to the get the skimmer's float switch figured out and they get this thing online, before I play around with what I consider "secondary decisions". I'm still just trying to make sure all is well inside the tank.

How do you like it so far? I'll be getting mine in a couple of weeks once we get back from vacation. Can't wait.

Its really nice Kenny, but I'd rather go on vacation :p
 
Mark, have you got it connected to your mac yet? I'm going to try this today. When I get home from work, I'm going to call Curt and see if he can help me out.

Nope not yet Sang, I'm still playing catch up on the tank.

For those who wonder, I do believe in the TOTM curse. I am planning on making a few offerings to the reef gods over the next week to appease them :hammer:
 
Sorry to hear about issues Mark :sad2:

Thanks Sara, its been a rough week or so. It all started with the saltwater bath for my hardwood flooring and now the alk issues due to the check valve. I have concluded that it really sucks when the acros you have to chop up are so thick, that the clippers just don't work on it :sad2:

I guess my tank and my knee have some sort of pairing that they are trying to test my fortitude :)
 
I can't even imagine how you are feeling ... just don't bail on us now as your tank is such an inspiration to many.
 
Thanks Sara, I can't say I haven't thought of it, especially when I am standing on a stool and my knee is throbbing. I quickly recoil those thoughts like when reaching for a hot stove as I know that I'm a lifer (one way or another) in this "hobby" :)
