I appreciate the advice, but I just don't have the bandwidth to devote to it. @Chrism1330 picked up the lights today and I told him the story of the tank. The basics: - The tank is a 60"x60"x24" square, viewable on 3 sides, custom-built into the house. - The sump is remote down in the basement...

I got some Orpheks - but not enough. I just ordered a few of their LED bars - 2x36" daylight and 1x48" daylight to get me the additional coverage I need.

I've got a total of 9 older AI units - 4 older Hydra and 5 of the original AIs. Most work, some don't, though I'm not sure on the ones that don't if it's the power supplies or something else. I hate to throw away what cost me $4k to get in the first place (albeit very long ago). Power...

I'm in Lafayette. Unfortunately, both tanks are essentially packaged up. The custom one is basically crated on three sides (top open).

It will indeed. The first place I had boarding my fish didn't do a great job and he got beat up a bit. I moved them over to World Wide Corals they say he is doing better. The fish I've got coming are: - Lt Tang (Tennenti) - Flamefin Tomini - Mimic Lemonpeel Tang - Purple Tang...

Yeah... I'm going to be adding pipe insulation soon, but as much for sound suppression as temp. The sump may not need it. The area under the house is completely insulated for some reason. I'm more concerned about what the humidity and salt spray will do down there. To your point, I am...

I wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone here. My wife and I just moved into our new home a couple months ago in the Berkeley Hills (Tunnel) area and I've been working on my new build ever since. I've already got a build thread going on 3Reef so won't duplicate here. I'm not too far away...
