Electrobes' 40Br

My current reef ain't much to look at right now, but I present it's future (01/2010)!

Plus my christmas present (VorTech MP10) came in early (Wife saw the 10% off deal for Black Friday at Premium Aquatics), THANK YOU WIFE O' MINE! :D

Been a while! This tank will soon be moved into our new home, and the changes will start taking place. Between the new home, the business, and what not.. it's been a lil' nuts.

Here are some pics, though oddly enough I did switch some things. This arrangement will all be different towards the end of April. The above rock wall will be installed with arches made also by the rock I produce. Really looking forward to it.. plus some more livestock! I need to prune back the xenia.

Looking good so far. What lighting are you running?

Hi subielover, I am running 2 X 95 watt VHO's. Currently the bulbs are 2 X Super Actinics and 1 X White Actinic. I just got new bulbs, one of which is not a Super Actinic, but a 454 bulb. :D

Oh.. and I installed a new DIY Vortech Battery Back up! It was a bit messy by the time I took the pics (The wires all over the place) plus I haven't actually finished the vortech controller installation to the control box... but here are the pics none the less:

wow! Battery backup is cool. How long will it run the system?

I also like the battery back up. I need to look into setting one of those up with hurricane season coming up.

Can you show how you connected the battery to the controller?
