Have fun!
 
I'm fighting red slime right now. I think it's because my nutrients are too high. I've changed 120 gallons this week and intend to do another 40. When we do the 40 I'm going to try to vacuum out as much slime as I can.

Wes, are those speakers on the sides for music stereo or TV?

Both. They're Rockvilles. They served us well for awhile, but they're blown. The left one is still usable to get by but the right one is unhooked because it sounds so bad. There's a discussion on here somewhere about what I should replace them with and we sort of settled on a Denon receiver with a couple powered speakers, but with a $700 price tag I'll have to get by without them for now.

When you do get them Denon is a solid brand. I had one of their earlier Home Theatre receivers back in the early 2000s

I think remove the screen and watch the scenic view.
Moons ago I had gotten a free DVD surround sound system with credit card points. The speakers are small at 3x3x5 but surprising loud and great quality. It was a Sony something. now it just sits in the basement since DVD's are now a relic.
