Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

2nd water change for my new reef; I'm actually at the end of my work shift so I'll probably be asleep all morning long (If the constant desire to toy with it lets me), home is shuttered so at least it will be dark.

Is a bit windy out and we are expecting some rain... FUN :)
 
Anybody doing anything fun today?
Helping the last honey harvest of the season...recovering from a 15 mile bike ride on the trail of the Coeur D' Alene's yesterday.

I used to live in Coeur D' Alene and Spokane for a while too.
So beautiful out there I miss the mountains!!
 
Working on the Reef Savvy. Newly constructed manifold (re-do #1 on the tank). The handles got a coat of blue paint and are drying. On the old manifold, I had two 1/2” valves, three 3/4” valves and one 1” feed line valve. I decided that if I ever wanted to change things out, I would rather have all of the valves the same size (except the main feed line). It also took forever to get a matching clear valve. The one before was white. Anyway, here is what it looks like now.

Looks like an injector rail. Would be cool to paint it like stainless steel.

loving the clear valves but I'll probably go white on mine and spray them blue.

Seriously, I'm taking Andrew to get a paint by numbers. The adult type. I have a Last Supper painting that I want to do. I figured it will give us an opportunity to hang out and talk while we paint.
