Thanks everybody I hope it starts to fill in a bit faster now

I recently received an RD1 from DA. I've removed the RKL Head Unit from the QT and wired everything into the RKL, with the RD1 on the QT door
Now I'm able to play with the RKL from the sump room. And because I have 2 SL1s I was able to add 2 more switches to the system.
I put a float in the skimmer cup and another in the chaeto tank.
I love having more powerbars too. Pretty much all the automation I wanted is now in place.
One last thing may be a Net module; so I can freak out while I'm away and send texts to my tank sitter



A couple weeks ago my skimmer was acting up and it turned out there was a bug stuck on the fresh air intake I put out the window.
I picked up a breather filter so that won't happen again



The green birdsnest isn't as bleached as it looks in FTSs



I played with my camera settings a bit
This is about the best I can get

I picked up a 1LB piece of LR from J&L for the chaeto/fuge tank
From now on, I'll try to remember to refer to it as the fuge as I've given up on chaeto
A few days ago I plumbed the fuge pump directly from the first sump chamber, so now it's getting unfiltered water
The new rock



I currently have a piece of filter material in the fuge for the stars and pods to live in and will put the rock in once I'm comfortable thinking it's pest-free
Last night I found this little one in the rock and am setting it free in the DT
That's my thumb nail it's sitting on



Then, after getting a pic of the rock, I find this teeny crab



I'm going to bait a glass and we'll see how many there are

Tank looks fantastic. Great Job. And that crab is very peculiar looking. I don't think I've ever seen one like that before.
