Well the controller is supposed to get here any day now... But I couldn't wait...

I see LIFE in my tank... for a day or two at least
Here are my test subjects... Hope you live a long time buddies.

Thats awesome! Keep in mind that even the cleanup crew needs to eat. If theres no natural food in the tank, you will have to feed them.

They are being fed :-) more then they can eat because it's a big tank and they might not find the food I put in.

:nod: :roll: Congratulations on the new life in your tank...Woo Hoo! Can't wait to see it stocked...by next week right. :wink:

WOOT! Looking good!

So... I got my controller today WOOT! But I didn't get to set it up. I was working on modifying my cooling system for my lights... because I "Need" my lights right now.
Why would I need my lights you say. Because I got a piece of plate coral (broken off not sure of type... still needs to color up maybe?) I also got a branching coral that is not properly attached to the puck... but it's all good.

A point of interest... these pictures were taken with my video camera and the color is way off... but here you go.

P.S. I know they will die and I know that they will not be happy. But since I'm new to corals I kinda want to see what they can survive/how long.
Also I'm running on less then half my LED's so they might not be getting enough light. New LED's are in shipping as I type this.

WOW... that took a long time... I finally got my Apex set up... 21 outlets to program... but I need to add some programing to 12 of them. My tank is now going to have a sun rise/set based on time of year, Temp swings like they are supposed to, Moon lights, doing the time/brightness. Cooling systems coming on when they are needed for my lights. Lights shutting off if they get too hot (to prevent them burning out again)

All and all I'm happy so far... Time for fish :D

:thumb::thumb::thumb:

WOOHOO! Very very exciting and a LONG time coming!:biggrin:

I took a bunch of pictures of my different stages of lights... but it didn't go too well... I think I'm going to make a video and edit out the waiting times between the lights going on/off and then post that rather then 13 pictures.

But I have Fishies!
