Looking good so far.

Can you post a picture of your DIY electric center and the X10 modules?

[JG24]

Mickey,

If you go to GregT's site (saltyzoo.com) its under one of his links. I think it says DIY power strip. I did mine just like that only I used X-10 outlets instead of standard ones.

[geshields]

We want new pics...

[JG24]

Its up and running. It was a long weekend. I will post some more pics tomorrow after I redo the rock work.

Nice! Can you explain what that single drain in the center of the tank ended up being used for?

[JG24]

Melev, the drain is for the CLS.

[melev]

Bob, it looks very close to your substrate level. Are you concerned that something might accidentally get too close, like a wandering anemone?

[lilbuddy]

nice clean set up...noticed you have your dolphin split...did you know they make a t union for that...I mean what you did was fine but they do have an attachment that takes the 1.5" output and t's it to 2-1" outlets that what i used on my tank...made it easy to plumb it to 1" sea swirl...well made it easier for my buddy to plumb it..

[JG24]

Yeh Marc, I've thought about it. I may raise it tonight when I do some rock work. Cause I'm going to be getting a BTA soon.

[JG24]

This is the rock work as it is today. Changed a bit from my first pic.

Thanks
Mike

sweet looking setup

[JG24]

Mike the ballasts are just the M58 raw ballast. I bought them thru hellolights.com
