Help Support Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum:
Hey Devon, I always had a problem with stuff blowing off of it, I like the idea too, after seeing it in use.
I moved some stuff around this morning, like the frag rack and a couple of other corals, I am going to try to get some pics tomorrow when the lights come up.
I am also in the process of losing the last clam that I have, which is a real drag, he is just not opening at all.
. Well…………………. at least the Emperor is not gonna get a buffet lunch from him.
Pics tomorrow folks, see ya then.

OOPS, forgot to post pics, stuff happens when you get my age 
. Things are looking pretty darn good, the lights are at 50% blue and 45% white and 14" off the tank. I am gonna leave them there for a while now and see what happens. I am waiting for OBD to come out with a new program for their controller for the timing on the lights, I hear it could be a goody .
Anyways, did some water tests today and you can see them here:

I might even clean some glass today and get some pics up, it looks like a rainy day thing to do.

Eye candy time, it is rainin like a cow pissin on a flat rock here .

Raining here too...we just got done with a 50 mile bike ride, I'm surprised I can even type with my frozen-pruned up fingers! Tank looks great, Charlie...have all of your corals adapted well to the LEDs?
Most of them have Kevin, they are still adjusting to be honest, but it has been 4 months and I haven't lost anything in over a month, I think the alkalinity issue has settled also.
I know that does take a while... I forgot about your Alk crisis...glad they are doing well now!
Thank you sir, it has been different that is for sure. In all my years I do not think I have ever done anything like this to my tank, it had to be fairly traumatic for the coral.
Thank you Devon.

Looking awesome Charlie, although there goes that itch again pics like that should be xxx rated. Especially since I'm looking dead at my 75 as I type and mentally planning what I would need to upgrade
Keep at it.

Thank you my friend
You are most welcome. I waiting on my last batch of Victorian Cichlids I got to grow out a bit and then will be narrowing it down to three different species with 2m/4f breeding groups and then I'm going to start hunting a 90 gallon reef ready, already got a good stand, a 30 gallon tank for a sump. Then just need to acquire the rest of the hardware.
Well good luck man, take your time and do it right.

That's the plan, I'm in no hurry this time, got a few buyers for the fry I produce here locally so I'll be using that money to help fund the build.
Oh, probably a silly question but how does an ro/di unit affect the waters hardness or does it?

It just takes all the impurities out, I don't think it has any effect on hardness, to be honest I have never heard that question asked

I've got some of the hardest damn water I've ever seen, straight out of the spigot, max's out on my freshwater test kit. pH out the spigot is 8.0 - 8.2. That's why I asked, still going to get the ro/di unit, but was curious about the hardness. Thanks for the reply
