I would have thought you'd have posted when you got salt in. Considering the stakes. How's the tank doing? Pics you slacker.

The tank is up and running, salt is in. But I have a few bugs / issues to fix. My skimmer is sitting too deep plus it's generating a @#$% load of micro bubbles. It seems to do this for a few days after being cleaned really well. One of my darts started making a bit of noise, I may have to pull it a part and check it out. It's the one I bought used, that's the chance you take, not a big deal.

The tank didn't really go through a big cycle, well not yet anyway. I've had the rock for quite some time and it's been soaking in fresh water for months. I'm still going to wait a bit before anything goes in the tank. I also need to get the fuge operational.

Tonight I need to make up all the cords to for my equipment so I can run them into the electrical cabinet properly. I'll take pics once things are cleaned up a bit, I can't post any now that Brett is showing off!

So I didn't get all the cords made up the other night, in fact I only started tonight.. I picked up 250' of 18/3 and a bunch of ends.. The ends are way more then I thought they would be.. $10.00 for each pair, one male, one female! Got my halides all plugged into the controller. Man, this doing things neat thing is time consuming! Took me 3 hours to get everything wired and zip-tied for three plugs!

Very nice Robb. It takes a lot of back-breaking effort down there but you do it once and everytime you open that stand up you're going to be glad you did it.

I have a similar pile of sawdust in the back of my stand beside the dart. Been meaning to vacuum it out.

Did you ever tweak your rock setup or is it unchanged?
