Thank Tony, once I get it clearer and clean up the mess I will have to get some better pics.

Nice I'm happy to hear it works:)
I'm real interested to see how that new ato performs.
Feel free to function test the crap out of everything. I'm not sure if you want to get into the apex but It sure would be awesome to see it in action:)

I could gladly test it all out for ya, maybe then it will help me talk the wife into letting me buy a controller for this tank as well.:biggrin:

Hell yeah man. I'd love to hear your thought on the comparison between the profilux and the apex.

I am not sure if this has been asked but what kind of led's are you using and any guess on PAR.

very nice Grizz - you're a master of multiple mediums from the looks of it (steel, wood, fish :))

Well so far I have found the Profilux to be easier to program the power bar because you can hook it to a laptop.

If someone that has an Apex can tell me how to program the power bar that would be great, I am test driving this unit for Oxymoron but have one coming for my FOWLR.

The LED panels were a cheap EBay purchase, not sure of the wattage per LED or the par. I thought I would give them a try simply because it's a FOWLR.

Thanks PDR, I hope to get the rest of the cabinet down this week.

Stock Update:

Picked up 3 really beautiful butterfly fish from my main gal Megan at BA'son Friday, could not resist the price and how healthy the looked.

Got a Red Fin, Black Back & Vagabond butterfly all around the same size about 2" long. All look very healthy & very happy in there new home. Only downfall is the little buggers don't stay still long enough for a photo op but I will try to get a few pic's of them as soon as I can.

The Apex can be plugged into your router with an ethernet cable (provided) and accessed over a web browser by typing in its IP address... but I actually programed all of mine with the display unit. Without knowing the programing language and what all of my options were I found the web interface to be only useful for very basic programs and making modifications. Even though I owned an ACIII for several years it took me a while to figure out how to work with the Apex. Unfortunately I got it all figured out before I discovered the 'easy to read' new user guide here: http://reeftech.webs.com/

dude that is one CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY looking setup well done.


:mrgreen:


and ya i made a spelling error ha hah ha ha ha hah a a haha


you people are so mean:lol: lol :bananahuge:

Thanks Russel, I will check this out. I am sure I will help.

:rofl: how may beer had you had

I am really looking forward to getting it all finished to see the finished project myself. :biggrin:

Hey grizz any updates on this tank :) how did the LEDs pan out?did the leathers survive the fish?

Not much has changed, the leathers were just fine with the fish but where not happy with the amount of light from the cheap a$$ LEDs that I bought. So I had to move my Devils Hand back into the reef tank but I will be moving it back as well as a huge colt coral and maybe some mushrooms once I get some better LED's from my LED hookup Martin / Modular LED.
