I got the radions mounted on a tv wall mounted arm so i can move the lights out of the way when doing maintenance. Also figured out how to program them, its been a long time. I couldn't find the reeflink power cord. I was looking in all my fish equipment tubs and finally found it. Seems like everything is working now. I included a couple of pictures of the arm fully extended and retracted.

Finally seeded the tank with pods. 1 bag of apocyclops and 1 bag of tisbe. Will add remaining bag next weekend. Hopefully i will have a sustainable pod population for my future mandarin.

I went to the RVC fragfest today in Sarasota. There were good deals to be had. Here are my additions. And a zoa that hasn't opened yet will get a picture later.
