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

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.

michika · #6 03-24-2009, 02:09 PM

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?

The tank is stitting in the garage but I haven't had much time to move forward on it. I'm thinking of getting it up and running and letting it cycle over the summer months then I can come back to it when I have more time in the fall.
