Well I just got my Apex controller and PM1 module. I didn't realize that the PM1 only lets me control 1 PH/ORP I needed 2. So I just ordered another PM1. but since JLaquatics has all the Apex on sale I also got a PM2, Conductivity Probe and Temp Probe. Mind as well. Freak this HOBBY IS EXPENSIVE. :O Hopefully that's all I will need for now.


GO BIG OR GO HOME !!! LOL

Okay so I finally got all my heatsinks with the holes drilled. I will post a photo. Got a CNC milling machine to drill me about 1200 holes.(Really $$$) LOL pricey but looks clean and professional. I was lucky enough to find me a place to do the CNC machining in Winnipeg while on vacation.

I also got my SS self tapping screws and plastic washers.

Okay the photo is of one Heatsink drilled and the other is all 4 connected before the holes where drilled.

I will try to find time the next 2 weeks to start and build everything. Really busy with work now so we will see when I get started.

Thanks

It's been over a year now since I installed my LED over my tank and it's absolutely amazing the colors and the corals are doing great so is the cost of electricity and lets not forget changing of the bulbs. LOL I haven't had much time to do anything to it so it's been pretty much the same since I last spoke about it. I did build another Led setup for my Berghia nudibranches and my refugium lights and hopefully can post photos in a little while.

I bought a photo light meter about a year ago and haven't used it yet. LOL sorry just been busy with basement renos and 2 month old baby and yard work.

I will clean up the tank this weekend and post photos maybe even tommorrow we will see.

but hope all is well and just wanted to update you guys.

thanks
