Sorry to hear about your fish, I hope the others make a speedy recovery. In the previous post, is the probe holder from Avast Marine?
Oh YEAH! Let the fun begin....

Thanks. The Copperband, Purple tang and the Flame wrasse are in a hospital tank for now. They still don't look great, so I'm crossing my fingers...
As for the probe holder, yes, that's from avast. It holds the water level sensor and top off line, as well as a spot for a probe.
Very nice Jeremy. I like the torch
Sorry that we could not hook up last weekend. I'll make a trip out that way again soon enough!
It's amazing what that torch looks like with just the 24" LED strip I've got is on. It glows orange, but with the daylights on it looks more bland. It's a gem in disguise until the lights go down

Sorry to hear about your fish. I hope you don't work from home because if I sat at your desk I would be staring at the tank all day. Good luck with the qt.

Thanks. As it happens, I do work from home most of the time, and the tank is a mixed blessing there. Anyone who works from home knows the peril of distractions, and this one at least keeps me at my desk
Looking great Buddy!
...it's almost like you have done this before???
JEFF!!! Been too long. Hope all is well for you and yours...
Just a few times. I think this makes system 10 over 17 years, not counting the variety of refugiums, temporary holding systems and frag tanks. If I don't know what I'm doing by now, I never will...

LOL. Forgot about that. I'm Just leaving a conference in San Diego but will get one when I get back and have a few minutes.

OK, here's a video of the sump area and the tank itself as it stands today. The wiring is still a bit of a mess, and is temporarily strapped together for now. The skinning of the stand....well.....that'll be awhile before I get back to that.
You can see in the video of the small tank in the sump on a stand. That is where the fuge drops into the small tank, then spills over the sides into the sump. It was the best way that I could come up with on short notice to avoid the wonderful sound of splashing water in the sump.

If money were no object, I would have had a sump custom made to incorporate the fuge.....but, alas.....money IS an object

Thanks John
Thanks, I think it works pretty well. I can't see any real changes I'd want to make to the system, which for me is new
My gold torch is looking good

Here's a new video update. Too bad the colors don't come out quite right, as things are starting to look good.

Added a couple of new fish fresh out of QT, but they were hiding at the time. The current list is:
Purple Tang
Juv. Chocolate Tang
Leopard wrasse
Mandarin
I'd like to add a couple more tangs, wrasses, and a pair of Perculas, but I'll have to wait until the budget allows...
