Also, for remote monitoring I love my IP camera. I set a bunch of preset locations on it, which really helps. I can see water levels in the tank and sump, and the floor around the system. I can even see the polyps on most corals. It was worth every penny.
Just copper treatment for parisites.

Your camera sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out when my frag is ready

Golden, not reef safe in the slightest way.

I got some more of the acrylic plugs today from OC. I'm going to try to get you a bigger frag than the ones I've got. They're around 1.5 inches, which is too little (I think).

Oh, I just that about something. Is it to use as a test to see if anything eats it? In that case, smaller might be better?

It won't be a test although it could go that way but hopefully not, either way smaller ones are fine, it grows fast.

The return line branches into three lines that enter the tank through the rear Euro-brace and extend down to the base to push water upwards. I coated the lines with purple primmer and then painted them back. This way if urchins peal off some of the paint it will be dark purple underneath rather than white.

Odd question but are you using a wine cooler or a wine rack? Only reason I ask is if the bar fridges rears are left open to vent into the wine racks all of your wine will be warm when you go to grab it.

Wine cooler on the left, beverage cooler on the right and a wine rack in the middle. Should be about 12" of space behind the coolers and there's space behind the tank for war air to naturally vent out. Wine rack should remain around room temp which is how I like red wine. I'm not expecting a heat issue there but I'll keep an eye on it once it's all setup.
