Thanks that is a perfect fit for what we are trying to do at the lake house. I love the Bosch dishwashers.

More fish room work done. Cabinets and sink section almost done.
First is the before shot.
Next is the new shot.
Since most people like to snoop in other peoples cupboards I thought I would open them up to share.
Food and some books. I have more books to go in.
Test kits, refractometer, calibration solutions as well as carbon and pHosphate remover.
Some meds and water additives.
Meds I keep for QT are:
RO/DI installed.
Working on controllers and monitors. I have my old Apex Jr. that I will use exclusively for my coral QT tank along with my Tunze Osmolator. Installing Reef Genesis, Maxspect Gyre and Vectra controllers on another wall.

Oh sure, it's all neat and tidy now, but wait till you go into full reef mode...

Oh I know. I have the ability to make something neat and organized look like a twister came through in the heat of the moment. :lmao:

I thought it would be easier to post a video of the light rack I made. It is operated by remote control. Currently I have mounted four Radion Gen 3 Pros on it. I have a fifth still to add if I need it. I am also considering adding a couple of Kessils in case of shading and to increase the shimmer effect. Also of note, I just purchased the Neptune Lunar Module with a string of 5 lunar lights to add on as well.

It consists of two heavy duty track actuators linked together electronically, and physically (by the rack itself). I added a wireless interface from the same company as the actuators each come with a manual switch. With the wireless interface they work in unison. I exchanged messages with a reefer from this "Large Tank Forum" about his rack. He was kind enough to point me to the same actuators. Our attachment points are a little different but they are basically the same. It is pretty solid and I don't think you would need to worry about bumping it. As far as stops go, as soon as you let go of the button on the wireless remote it stops. The actuators themselves have built in stops for both top and bottom of travel.

Can you send me (PM or on here) a link to the place where you got the parts for the setup? I'd like to possibly do something like that on my system to replace the rope & pulley system I have.

Mine eat my Zoas! And nothing eats them. Like Dave said... excuse to get a harlequin or two.

From what I've read on them, there are many different types of asterinas. None of them get much bigger than a half-inch or so. Only about five percent of the species bother corals. The rest are excellent algae and detritus eaters - real benefits to your tank. A few species regularly propogate by dividing their bodies down the middle. That's why you see so many irregular shapes. These are the ones that can get a bit too popular in your tank, and invite the need to introduce a harlequin shrimp. Not a bad excuse in my book.
