Other then the hiccup with the display I have to say I've been very happy. It does exactly what it's supposed to do without fail, I haven't had one instance where things didn't happen as expected. I haven't had to touch it in a few months.

However there are some things I would change about it if I could. I would match the web interface to the head unit, they differ in how they look and function. For instance, as mentiond I'm having trouble with my display and had to try and adjust the brightness settings via the dispaly, you can't access these menus's from the web interface. I would like to reset the unit back to factory setting to see if that had an affect on display, I can't do that via the web interface, It has to be done on the display unit ( as far as I'm aware )

I wonder if this is an isolated incident or if other users are experiencing this as well.

As far as I can tell it's an isolated incident, I searched for others with the same problem. I wasn't able to find any.

Never go fish shopping with an 8 year old,

Yesterday I came home with:
1 Royal Gramma
1 Flame Angel
2 Bangaii Cardinals

More fish then I wanted to get at one time but they are all pretty small so I don't foresee any problems.

Someone's been too quiet. Just because you won the old race doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels. Any visual updates?

[Parker]

Here you go!



I have been resting on my laurels, I have so many things I need to take care of on the tank. CA reactor isn't running yet, I bought some of those bio pellets, haven't got those plumbed in yet, carbon reactor isn't plumbed in yet. My Apex is half programmed, my auto top-off isn't complete yet. T5's aren't in yet. I have to build or have built a canopy. I need new bulbs.
You can't really tell from the picture but there are corals in there, small ones. The turbo snails killed two of my SPS frags by dumping them in the sand the first day I left on a business trip, when I got back they were mostly buried. The softies are growing well but the SPS aren't growing, they have decent color and polyp extension but aren't growing.
Wow, now I'm all down about my tank... Thanks Brett, thanks a lot!

No need to be down dude I was just curious. My two big astrea have been pretty good to me so far it's the hermits that like to crawl all over the sps! Sounds like things are at least stable as they are and you haven't even finished with your equipment! Looking forward to regular updates now that's you've been dug out of the sand yourself =)
