Mike's 240 Peninsula Build

Had some time today to hook up my equipment and clean up the wires. For the most part it is done but still need to clean up some of the wires coming from the PC4s. My 1yo son was calling so I had to call it a night. I still need to wrap the wires coming from the pc4s, install my BM doser, a MP40 and a Vortech battery back up. Trying to find some time to work on the tank is challenging. Work and my son takes up most of my time lol.

We also got some fish and corals. I am having a hard time getting good photos. The photos come out really blue, do you guys edit the photos in photo shop to correct the white balance? I have a nikon d90 with a macro lens. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Great adds to the tank and your cord organization is better than some corporations I have worked with.

Thanks! I tried to keep it simple and be able to easily remove an equipment for maintainance. I've seen much nicer cord organization where all cords are wrapped or cords going behind a panel to hide them but it seems like a pain to have to remove.
 
Battery back up installed, next on the to do list is upgrade my mp40w to es and then install it on the tank. Also need to install my bubble magus doser. Added a bunch of corals and fish. Haven't had time to get good photos of the fish. The photos come out blurry because the fish is moving so fast. I need to figure out how to get a good pic and I'll post some.

Current fish in tank:

Platinum clown fish
Radiant wrasse
Exquisite fairy wrasse
Yellow coris wrasse
Purple firefish

Fish coming in this week. Rhomboid wrasse pair. Fish coming in the near future, 7 bartletts anthias, 6 females and 1 male.

Stay tuned, more updates to come. Lots of new corals coming in this week also.

Looks good. Who skinned your stand? I have a local friend with a metal stand that's looking for a legit guy to build a skin. Tank looks great. I'm still a little behind you, I need go get my lights up. Hopefully this next week

I'm waiting on the lazy builder to build the dang LEDs. (That's me) lol

Not looking forward to soldering 150 LEDs, but this is the weekend. Think I'm gunna take Friday off so I can bust em all out this weekend.
 
I purchased this frag a little browned out. It has blue polyps and a hint of blue. It is my sps test coral. Hopefully it will do well and color up. Can anyone ID it?
