My little boys have christened them Frosty the frostbite clown and AWAL the royal gramma as she went and disappeared and i had to take out my rock work out twice and block up all the crevices with filter floss.. She still had other places to hide and has since settled in nicely…

Hi There 1 is the D-D-dual-heating-and-cooling-controller and the other is D-D Ocean Breeze Cooling Fan (4 fans) i hope that helps… also done some mods on the durso return pipe and if you get a 4mm air tube and put it in the hole at the top makes it a bit less noisy and i got a straight joint conector and an extra piece of pipe and extended the return pipe to the bottom of the sump..

Just an update to the upgraded sump of the tank… extended the drain pipe it has made the tank a lot more silent.. and made an acrylic box to accept a filter cup rather than the stock filter sox as i can now chage the filter floss twice a week now it also has a 40mm pvc pipe in the middle of the filter cup drilled out and i wrap the filter floss around it… it stops the floss block the filter cup when it gets dirty… the black acrylic baffles help so much with the light spill on the refugium.. made them with shower screen strip snd siliconed them in place and they are removable if needed…
The display tank is looking good just starting to see coraline alge growing on my return nozzel… ….
