    Very nice setup! It's very unique and will look great when it purple's up.

    Thanks! I'm back in the bad habit of spending hours looking at stuff to put in it online again now. LOL I have a pretty good idea of where it's going and what it'll be when it's done. It will be very nice when the coralline begins growing. :)

    OH Yeah!! Got the controller figured out and have a wavemaker! Once it clicked I was like D'OH! :-[
    I also picked up 2 120mm, a 80mm and a 60mm fan from another reefer. The squirrel cage fans were not living up to what the seller claimed and I need more air movement. So I moved the two squirrel fans to the top to exhaust out, installed the 80 dead center in the back and the 120's on the ends to blow in.
    I recycled the old canopy and created the Tower O' Power. It's a hinged tower with 10 outlets built into it. The series is gfci protected. It also serves as a shelf for my PFO ballast. Pics coming tomorrow.

    Just some pics of the updated work and the addition of the fans to the canopy.
    New small problem is evaporation. In just 6 hours I had to replace around 1 gallon of water. The fans are a good thing though. The ambient room temp was 69, halides and vho running and water temps never climbed over 73. I have the controller set to turn heat on @ 72.5 and off @ 72.9.

    Attempt to kind of show how I moved the squirrel fans to the top of the canopy to exhaust out.
