The LAST big upgrade

[michika]

November Update;
- Had a flood early in the month due to a solonoid failing to close when filling the top off vessil. Damage included all of the drywall behind the top off container as well as drygoods/spare parts.
- Had the other Ocean Motions go on me; the magnet isn't staying seated and now there is a regular clicking when the flow is rotated. I need to order a new unit.
- Some issues presented themselves with our salt, but it was very quickly and easily fixed, minorly inconvienent.
- My naso tang passed away very quickly and without any warning.
- Powerbars on my controller keep burning out.
- Vortech MP40 died.
- Participated in a Mad Jelly order and I'm very pleased (actually it was late Oct)
- Found somewhere to get Calcium Reactor media - time to add a reactor to my system.
- Added a UV sterilizer to the system
- Continuing to dose some Zeo products; Coral Snow (for cyano and water clairity), Amino Acids and Zeobac

Issues I'm working on;
- red cyano
- neon green cyano
- making homemade fishfood again
- microbubbles is the display (caused by the returns on my skimmers)

This past year I've been plagued with equipment troubles, something happens on average every week or two that is a costly repair. I've essentially turned over this year my return pumps, I will have done both Ocean Motions by the end of the year, my controller accessories, lighting. Seems like I've had some sort of major issue with every piece of equipment this tank. Hopefully now that everything has been upgraded/replaced we can get back to the business of tank keeping.

I need to invite some peoples over to take some photos I think. Its one of the things I think every time I see my tank; I should post more photos. Especially so since we had such a big involved conversation on here about helping to draw in readership, and generally making this forum more robust and active.

the iphone isn't terribly good at capturing photos with a lot of LED generated blues. This is from last week.
