It actually came out really nice. I am going to need to move the left mount about 3-4in to the left as I did not get the canopy centered over the tank. oops i'll fix it in a few weeks.

Just got the return pump and skimmer hooked up to the apex. Everything is now automated! :D I have it set where if the return pump is off the skimmer will be off and when the return pump turns back on the skimmer will start back up 2 min later. Haven't had any issues with the skimmer over flowing but I figured why not throw the extra code in just in case.

So far my dosing regiment has been working. Right now I'm dosing 24.6ml a day and I'm keeping a steady 9dKH. Did my first small water change on the tank. About 3% of the total volume. Now time to let it all set for 7 days to see what happeneds.

So I've been away from my tank for over a week now. From what I've heard it's doing well. Had a header mishap I cough on my apex Tuesday and had my tank sitter pick a new one up and install it but so far that's it. Can't wait to get home tomorrow and check on it.

Started stand skin construction over the weekend. Have not had time to post photos of what it's looking like. Had to hook up my other dosing pump this am as I'm eating threw both alk and calcium faster then I can dose it myself. I guess it's about time to start looking into a calcium reactor for my birthday.

The tank looks great Mike! How's the PBT doing?
Age called me yesterday. Both pbt and faery wrasse are doing good. Going to try and swing by and pick them up tonight. They will go in my frag system tell I'm sure what I'm going to do with them.

Oh, I thought you took them home. Swing by if you want when you do come out.
