Digging the new spectrum over the fuge. Looks like the creative juices are flowing for the manifold. Hope it all works out as planned; and, if it doesn't, I know you'll MacGyver something that will!

Finally made my way over here. Looking good Flip!!

Hey Mark! Is an honor!

Ladies and gentleman, meet one of our local
club members, Mark! He's on our board of directors and has a bad case of OCD when it comes to all things reef. :D

Glad you could swing by brutha!

LOL! You crazy, bro! :D

I have a lot if theories about how important these things are, and how important water volume is, but I'm going to spare everyone the 'old school train of thought' ramble. ;) Let's just say that I'm almost done out here. Just need to get the chiller online and the calcium reactor. Then, I'll start back in on the DT. :)

Well guys, I put a regulator on order. I went with THIS ONE if you're interested in checking it out.

Should make things a ton easier and reliable. I hope!

From my research, that's the best choice. I still am on the fence between buying a doser or reactor.

Yeah, you should bro! I did it mainly because of the major site crash we had a few months ago. Not anything against our club (love the club) just keeping my notes redundant for sanity's sake. :)

Heck, John even created our club on this very site, so that says something in itself. ;) go on Mark! Show em how we do things in Texas! ;)

Haven't seen that one, P. Pretty cool and I may have to research it more.

I don't know what is going on with R2R and attacks like that. I want noticing that earlier today when I was on my pc. Weird...

Yeah, no bubble counter for me. I have a back up milwaukee on order too.

LOL! R2R is what it is. :D It's been good to me, so I'll stick around like a fish outta' water... flopping around through my build. :D

So, this weekend, I didn't do too much. My wife and I are celebrating an anniversary this month, and we have that Valentine's Day thing... so, I bought her an abstract painting that we've been eyeballin'. It's nice and neutral, but has a little pop to it. Perfect for our front entrance. We still are in the process of decorating our house, and to be frank: we suck at it. LOL! We're going to hire a guy that's been recommended to us to help with painting/art ideas... pardon the digression, but that was a part of my weekend. :D

Any way, I hate my stand in the garage. I'm rebuilding it.

Atta boy! I subscribed to your build over here, too! I don't think people understand what you've done over there, man! Phenomenal work!

On another note, I should be getting my Ca reactor regulator today (the nicer one)! I'm fist pumping right now! :D

Guess what, though? My CO2 regulator is on the front porch! Awww yeah!
