    Just re-plumbed my tank, removed redundent closed loop (it was replaced with an mp40), fixed my seaweed feeding clip. About to do a 10% water change.

    I put me new pendants over my tank to replace my junky 2x250 reflector for my halides. A little bit of wiring, and I as all done.
    much better..

    I also cleaned out the skimmer, added pickling lime to my top off reservoir, and filled the reservoir with fresh RODI.

    My SO is taking care of the tank while I am gone tomorrow afternoon, until Sunday evening, so I portioned off 2 cups of food for her to feed the fish.

    My ATO takes care of the top off. Danielle is well aware of how particular I am about my tank. Really all she needs to do is thaw out 1 cup of food a night, feed the tank, and make sure everything is all right.

    That towel was used as a glare blocker from the old MH reflectors. Now it looks even worse since it has no purpose really, so my next project is to make a door above the tank, and finish off the trim work.

    10% water change, pull out some old carbon, clean protien skimmer, change and wash filter sock. I may head down to a fish store about 40 miles from my house to check it out.
