Finalized a few plans today, also did a bit of work on the 75.
Debating on ordering some stuff from J&L, trying to decide what 175 watt ballast to go with (PFO, Vertex or Used) Spoke to a co-worker who has is a Goldsmith by hobby. He has some Jeweler's Rouge which I will be using to remove the scratches from the glass. I figure it will take me about a month to remove all of them, obviously just spending a couple hours here and there. There is also some Silicone that I want to scrap off, any ideas on the best way for this? I've scraped it off but there is a little residue left. Current params are: Calcium - 500 (Too High) Mag - 1400 (About right) dHK - 8 (Little low, I want 9) ph - 8.22 sg - 1.026 (Little high, will bring back to 1.025 with next water change) Nitrate - 10 (Went up a bit, need to dose more Vodka + a water change next week)m Last edited by phillybean; 10-25-2009 at 11:15 PM.

I performed the Meshwheel mod on my G3 today, to early to review but the bubbles look smaller and I had to raise my drain tube on it quite a bit, which I think means there is more air. Still need to do the Gate Valve and I'm on the fence about Recirc Mod.
I still need to remove the paint from the back of the 125, and I hope to start removing scratches from the tank on Sunday.

Luckily the paint is a roll on paint, so I can use a Paint Thinner, just want to avoid getting any on the silicone.

Well the paint is now all scraped off the back.
I also picked up a Gate Valve and MB7 from Ocean Aquatics. I am currently dosing Vodka, so am starting with 10 drops of MB7 Daily this week and will up it to 15 next week, and then 20 the next. I'm really looking forward to the Gate Valve mod for a couple reasons, one is I have always had a pain with the stock set up and two, the sponge on the output is a nasty, nitrate factory but with-out it it's too loud to bear. I'm also going to try and source out a dealer for reflective material tomorrow. Also, since I don't have any on here, I'm going to take a few shots of the tank tomorrow...
