Hey! It's been 10 years since I moved from rural Ohio to an off grid property in at high elevation in the Rockies, so I've been slow to get a sufficient power system built up. Now that I have all the solar and batteries needed to run the power hungry monsters I figured I'd start with a smaller, used tank and get me hands wet again. Previously in Ohio I had a 120g and 200g setup but they were gifted to a biologist friend prior to my move. Sadly my first pics here are showing my first ever carbonate precipitation event :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:... But after two weeks of operation the tank seems quite stable and all inhabitants are doing well. Lights are temporarily mounted , trying to decide if I want to bend some stainless or just use some anodized to make a better bracket.
