SVTour - For the fan, I am going to open up the light fixture (one of these days) and see if I can clean it and take some measurements to determine if I can easily replace it. It's not too noisy. For example, while sitting in the kitchen for dinner tonight we can have a normal conversation and still hear the TV in the other room, so it's really not that bad.
There are several clean-up items on the "to do" list. In no particular order
~ Drain the Tub, clean it and remove it from the basement. The tub will be saved for a future frag tank, but that is a couple years out. I left a couple power heads and a heater in there. So far I've found some small creature almost everytime I've walked by.
~ Remove the light pendant that was the light source for the tub
~ Several small electrical clean-up items to take care of.
~ Trim for the stand openings. They are just ruff finished
~ Doors or panel for the stand openings. Was originally going with panels, but may change to doors. Not 100% sure yet.
~ Massive clean-up of the basement and garage. Both were my staging / building areas and I made several messes.
~ Connect the Kalk reactor. Right now I just have the ato connected to a fresh water supply.
With all that said, today I had to celebrate the new tank, so I added 2 peppermint shrimp, 3 Nasirius snails and a green clown goby. All additions looking good after a nice acclimation.
Tonight I hooked up the AC Jr and a DC-8 to control the lights. Had a hard time getting it to work until I stopped and looked to find that the cable I made didn't have the correct pinouts. I didn't realize that the cable needed to be a rollover with R-Y-G-B on one end and B-G-Y-R on the other. I had both ends the same (straight through) and couldn't figure out why it didn't work.
I still need to connect the DC-4 in the Sump area, just need to re-do a couple other electrical items first.
