Tank has been running hot, so added a fan last night. That seems to help, but I'm taking the day off Friday so I can plumb my chiller to the new location. RO line has to follow, and a bit of paint on that wall will mean I can move the tank into place over the weekend. I hope.

Notice some of my frags browning out, not sure if it's the reduced photo period or too much light, but I'll give it time to see. Slowly ramping up time, but have to be careful of ramping up the heat as well.

Thinking of building a matching side cabinet to house the Ca reactor and electrical bits, unless I can find a prebuilt something that kind of matches.

Turns out I own a label maker, so after 15 years of reefs, I'm going to label all my cords. lol

As of now we're a go for the Aug 8-10. My buddy and his family are actually out of town that week and I've got the place to myself I'll probably get there Fri after work sometime. If it's not too late, I'll touch base and pop in and grab a material list and start first thing Sat morn. Let me know if you want/need anything else done while I'm there. I'm not planning to bring my work trailer, but I certainly can.

Hmm, I need a new shed. And kitchen. lol

Elise leaves around dinner Friday, so anytime after that is good to make a mess. I have everything here that I need, I think.

I'll also have some pics and updates later this weekend. Just prepping the wall, hanging the light and moving tank hopefully Sunday.

Too tired to manage all the pics (could be up to 4 of them) so I'll post the final product.
Tank move went well considering I broke my finger yesterday, but lots of help got it done.
Apex went south on me, so still running stuff on timers until I get that sorted out.
Here's a pic. Ya, it's a crappy pic. Oh well
