I think you might be right lol

I think he's asking about inside or outside the cabinet but I'm not positive.

Yessir!

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

I would mount it inside and put a child safety lock on the door.

Yes, I think thats the plan now!

And now the Pitho climbs the stylo?

I don't use power strips, except I do have one, for now, to handle all of the lights until I consolidate them. I've been using American DJ PC100A Power Centers for over twenty years. I mount them vertically so that the plugs outlets are pointed down which makes drip loops almost automatic. No surge protector to blow out and switches for convenience. There is mine early in the build. It is really just a power strip but I like this mounting setup and it is always in my cabinet.

Im looking into one of these!

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

I had a similar power hub. I loved the on/off switches. I went through two of them. They both shorted out. Had them plugged into a portable GFCi, Joel convinced me to get this Trip Lite with built in GFCI. I have everything but the main pump plugged into it. The main pump is on a UPS.

If i ever come down your way and we meet up, i'll bring my fancy expensive electrician label maker and we'll print you cord labels

Guys I came to the lfs on my lunch break to get some more ghost shrimp for my office tank and scored this Marineland All In One for $20.00! I'm going to measure it when I get to the office and see how much it holds! Its got really thick glass and seems well made.

Almost like it was meant to be!

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

Notice I didn't use a current photo! Actually I'm retooling a little because my lighting got out of control: 2 AI Prime 16 HDs, 2 AI Prime Grow Blades, a 11" Meridian and a Tunze EcoChic Refugium.

All the lighting you could ever need! I promised momma I would wait till the new babies born before dumping a bunch of money on lights. (Taking some real willpower haha)

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

I should add, I don't plug the power center directly into the wall I plug it into a self-resetting GFCI that is plugged into an outlet behind the tank that has an outdoor cover on it.

I'm trying to figure out how I want to set this new tank up gfci wise.. I dont want a single gfci controlling everything, just to come home and find my tank DOA

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

Mast Partners glued, floor boards routed and sanded. ready for stain tomorrow. I'm tired now!

Wish we were closer. I've always wanted to try my hand at building a boat. Would be cool to see how its done!

 

[kingranch2003]

your Dendros are ok with that much light?

Yep! They're not photosynthetic so I dont have to worry about bleaching zooxantthellae. I put them up there to catch food in between feedings

 

[kingranch2003]

building. kids said they wanted to go boating.

Youre building a lot of memories for your kids. That's what it's all about

I was noticing a few days ago Kevin, that the right side of my tank needs some BRIGHT green. After talking to TBrown, I'm probably going with a slimeball anacropora for the rockwork, and this is a beautiful neon green as well. Im sure you get some nice movement too. Do you recommend it to own Kevin?

Maybe put it here if it doesn't mind a little upflow and mid-higher par.

You got something pretty bright green right by the dendros. Doesn't seem to have anything for polyps though. Must be some sort of smooth skins acro

I'm changing it though. I bought a lightly-used Meridian 35 that will replace the 2 AI Primes and the 11" Meridian. I'll decide on the Blades later on. If the tank is bright enough they go. If it needs more light or a better balance they will stay for now but I hope to replace them with ReefBreeder Edges down the road.

The Meridian 35 was my carrot for successfully, at least so far, completing my medical procedure. I put off buying anything big for almost a year waiting until the procedure was behind me.
