Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
And the lucky winner of the "what's wrong with my electrical" would be the peeps that chose the "PDU Power Hub". The tank was turned off when I got up this morning. the reset button on the hub no longer works. everything is now plugged into the UPS till the TrippLite arrives next week.
Glad you got it figured out Paul!!!
 
Tim, what noopsyche lights to you use?

I had the original K7 Pro II but it's on my buddy's tank now, I have 2 of the K7 V3, 1 K7 V3 Mini, and 2 K7 Pro V3.
 
Salted with melted chocolate.
Paul, I knew I liked you! I'm blessed I'm in good health and workout regularly because I can literally eat a whole bag of that popcorn! There is a place here called Horrocks that makes all their popcorn fresh in these huge vat like things right in front of you. They have probably 30 different flavors and walking back to the area where it's made smells like a slice of Heaven. If Heaven smells like fresh buttered popcorn that is

I also have a Neptune Sky... It's over the 110 that I'm setting up as a planted tank. It's paired with the 2 K7 Pro V3.

I had a planted tank with the CO2 regulator and everything several years ago. I liked it, but a move made me decide to sell rather than breaking that thing down and packing the plants, all the equipment, etc... I lit it with 6500k Metal Halide.

Do you have any progress on tank? I'd be interested in seeing pictures of it.
 
Really Foggy here. 45 degrees. Reminds me of a movie. Anyone recognize which movie?

I'm going to find a nice piece of driftwood or something to add on the right side and I'm making a pleco cave for the end of the sand trail. Probably going to buy some Black River pebbles to line the sand with to really make it pop.
 
It's such a hard tank to scape - 32" depth.
My dad's is 30", next Wednesday I won't be working and I'm going to his house to help him restructure the rocks and made some adjustments
