Updates

August 21, 2009

Little update on the main tank. Getting ready for the final skim coat, sand and priming. Corals are doing well thus far.

Got a little more done today. Worked on the frag tank lighting and installing the frag tank (48 x 24 x 24)

Since my main tank lighting is running to one dedicated circuit, I need another breakout box for my AC Jr. DC-8 so I could run my frag lighting on a separate circut.

Installed the frag tanks own panel. Starting here with two Ice Cap 250w ballast.

I did re-work the frag tank with a new overflow box, much better and can handle the flow. Frag tank running well now.

And finally some coral shot from the main tank, remember these have only been in this new system about 2 weeks and I changed 90% of the water, so they are still getting thier color back.
