Very nicely done! Fish must be loving their new home!
I think I've generated a makeshift algae scrubber. I just added some eggcrate after my skimmer section and threw in some macro algae before the baffles. Noticed some green algae forming on the eggcrate. |

Cool! I've been looking forward to seeing this tank stocked.

Starting to tie up the loose ends and get back to reefing lol
I installed some under counter led's on the stand frame so I can see whats happening under there when the frag lights are off. I also got an LED grow panel from Kevin (reefme) to grow the algae on the algae scrubber now for the exciting stuff (for me anyways lol) I built a shuttle pc and found a mimo 7" touchscreen and got them up and running. Thanks to Blue World Aquarium in Victoria for the brilliant idea! (yes thats the Oil King game on ) As for the livestock the transfer went very well all the fish are doing great and are loving the space. I did loose my cleaner shrimp and a handful of snails aren't doing so well. I made a mistake and didn't recheck my salinity before moving things over. The salinity was dead on 1.020 when I filled it but over the week that I moved rock in and got ready for the fishes I removed water and topped off and....after the shrimp died the salinity was 1.010. The snails I thought all died but when I went to remove them they weren't dead but seemed to be stunned. I've been slowly brining it up and they are mostly back to normal now.

Some more things on the to-do list:
-Chris is building me a custom top off tank and it's going on a pull out shelf for easy filling. - install a couple cheap webcams on each side of the sump so I can check on things when I'm away from home or even when the skirting is on without removing it. - control the diatom issue -add some frags to the frag section - Get some more fishies!!

+1 wish my electrical area looked even half as nice as yours. Very exciting to see it filled and a few fish in there

My buddy Chris dropped of my shiny new ato tank this week....
and I finally got it installed last night... It's on a cabinet pull out roller to make it easier to fill. Ive still got to plumb it properly and get the cords run properly but it's nice to have the ato running.
