Johnrs 30 cube build

And here was yesterdays project. This will be awsome because I can shut individual pumps down with just a switch. I mounted on the back because there was no more room for it in the stand. Its still pretty accessable plus it keeps the plugs up in the air out of the way of any floods.

Well I finally got tired of making trips for water .I got this RODI in today. I set up a little water change station in the garage. I am using an 18g rubbermaid for a holding tank and I installed a float switch. I set it up next to the washing machine which made the plumbing super easy. I have a T and shut off valve I need to install before the DI for drinking water.

OK time for an update. I ditched the sunpod a few weeks ago and went with a PFO 250w pendent and a pheonix 14K. The colors are amazing now.

Took some PAR readings today

Ok I have decided to go all SPS in this tank after Talking with Anthony Calfo at Macna. He was pointing out the drawbacks to running a mixed reef so I hit the ground running and set up a softy/LPS tank and have turned this one strictly SPS. I also upgraded the skimmer to the new MRC ocean force one. Its doing awsome and pulled out in one day what my other skimmer took a week to do. I will get some pics up after I rearrange all my SPS.
