I'll definitely look two-part if I decide not to put the reactor online, or if I can't put it back online. Thank you for the suggestions.

I turned the lights on to pick up a couple of pieces that had fallen today. Just after the lights came on I got a quick view of some great polyp extension on this piece.


This piece is spreading out quite rapidly all of a sudden. I had to move both the above colony, and the orange digi out of its way.


The birdsnest looks amazing. It has a green sheen to it, and that purple you see, it actually looks like that in real life, its not a camera figment.

Alright some pre-cleaning photos. The tank needs a bit of an overhaul before I head away next week.







MHs only, which is more realistic


A comparison; with T5s:


MHs only


Re-arranged right side to provide more space for the growing cap


From V-day

Some photos from just after I came back from San Diego.



I love how vibrant this piece looked when I got home.


Everyone's accounted for


This showed up in the mail today, replacement head unit to deal with the capsense problems we were having. So far Kevin can use it with no problems. He even re-set up the RKE and made a bunch of great little changes.


Moon lights showed up too finally


Moon lights look really nice too, but the photo doesn't do them justice


We fixed the top-off switch problem, added the moonlights online, and made a few small changes to the system. Kevin fixed the excessive bubbles we were getting in the Ca. reactor. As well the Kalk. reactor is back online and its all programed for easy kalk. powder additions. I'm so excited, it means that tomorrow is the last time I'll have to add any more powdered Ca. and the timing couldn't be any better, I'm on my last little bit of powder!

I'll get around to the photos of the San Diego Sea World later...its time for bed.

Looks good, I hope the new head unit works out for you.

Me too. So far its a huge improvement over the original head unit the RKE was released with. I find that I'm spending less time fiddling with everything, and its simpler to navigate because you know one push and the resulting click is just one push.

Digital Aquatics also released a lot of new little features, but there is no manuel out for this firmware version yet. I think once its out we'll be able to expand on the unit's capabilities some more. Also I want the Net module, and a bunch of other items.

How is your build coming along?
