Well, I just ripped out the trim today, and these black spots are really scaring me. As I will be spending most of my days in the basement, I am afraid that this is mould, and will become a problem if not dealt with.

Well, after pulling out the drywall, we saw that the back of the drywall had mould too. Mostly near the bottom, but we took care of it. Took it all out and replaced everything.

Here are the pics!

This was before the drywall:


Put a heater to the wall to try and kill any leftover residual mould spores.


This is after




Also got my old LED's remounted and rewired everything. Works well with my apex now. Tried it out with sunrise/sunset. Still working for the code for clouds and such.

Here it is!:

Hey Guys!

It has been a while since my last update due to the newest member of our family! Her name is Pom Pom! (originally from cheer-leading pom pom's but then realized that she is also a pomeranian =.=

Anyhow, Here are the pics!





As for the tank, we just moved it into our basement. Just filled it up for the first time since it arrived in summer. Super Excited.



The Green walls in my room really screwing up the colours, but here is the tank! Going to get the plumbing and sump done by the end of the week hopefully!
Gunna add the doors and the trimming for the stand too!

Well today was very productive. I managed to pick up the majority of the plumbing and got together the return and ordered the acrylic sheets for my DIY sump.

Anyhow here is a pic of the back of my tank. It is not yet complete but soon will be. Need to pick up a few things that I forgot tomorrow.


Guess it doesnt really show too much since its so close to the wall =-p

Picked up 4 tunze 6105 and set up the apex as well!

Here are some pics with the lights off:







Just waiting on the ro saddle to set up the ro system in the wall behind the tank.

Already ran leak checks and all for the plumbing. Will get cycling asap!
