Marshalls Crazy Corals 8x4' Coral tank build

[JamRobo]

Well tonight i managed to get a few more things done.
I finished all the drain plumbing to the refugium. Its plumbed with 1" inch for now as i couldnt find a proper bulkheads to fit 1.5" i will change it if need be after running the system.
I did manage to find a perfect bulkhead to fit the 3" drain hole in the refugium and have a 2" drain into the equipment sump.

I also installed a fan system in the stand that has a temp prob and a controller. Looks sleek!

Got the bulbs for the tek lights. 16 ati's..
600$ later.... that hurt. Fit them all in the lights and tested. Unfortunately one of the ballasts is pooched, the lights all lit up but the sparks and smoke coming from the ballast tell me something is not quite right haha. Luckily i do have a spare 6 bulb tek light that i am going to take the ballast from and fix the 8 bulb.

Another step closer and another step back... the way she goes i guess.

I like the digital gauge, makes it look high tech.
