Well one more major step along the way... Plumbing is 90% complete... I just have to wait for the nozzles to show up for final completion. But in my mind the plumbing is done... and if I had to I could run it without the nozzles. Now less than 2 weeks till I can start my cycle ... and if the parameters are right I will add fish on September 6th.

Anyways an update isn't an update without pics...
Looking at it from the outside.


Looking at it from the inside


A slightly closer look at the refuge.

Some updates on my LED's

This is me feeding the wires through and my daughter grabbing them and pulling them tight.


All the LED's soldered to the drivers an almost ready to go.


The test of 3 of the LED's.

I may have big ones but I'm not a total idiot, I had the other end unplugged while I was setting up the LED cords and had my wife plug it in to the wall when I was ready to take the pic.

Just a quick question... what is the best "canary" in a coal mine, for a salt water reef tank?
