Grizz's 8' shallow sea

[The Grizz]

I finally broke down and re did the rock work over the last 2 days. Added loc-line to the returns from the closed loop, so now each return has 3 return ports and I must say I really like the flow now.

Bought a very gently used Snapper return pump for the main return. Going to take out the 1200 gph pump and put this in it place.

Also pick-up a NextReef MR1 reactor for NP Pellets but don't have enough pellets left in my TLF 150 to put in service just yet.

Next items on the agenda is a controller and some new lights. For the controller I am either going with a GHL Proflux 2ex that Ken @ BWA has or the ReefKeeper Elite. I must do a little research on the Proflux first. As for the light I am almost certain I am going to go back to MH with 2 - 48" fixtures, each fixture has 2 - 250w MH 15,000K bulbs, 2 - 54w T5 that I will put in either some KZ Coral Lite or UVL Actinic White bulbs. the fixtures also have 3 dual moon lights each.

Once I have the light's I will have to finish the canopy of the tank as my wife wants me to put a shelf above the tank just below the picture that is hanging on the wall.

So here is a FTS as of today not TOTM worth but doing my best, picture quality is crappy because I had to use my iPhone, wife's camera in the shop and I suck a photography.









Enjoy and I hope to get more done over the holidays and update again
