Had some leftover diamond plate scrap and was like custom mount i think yes. Really wanted it to match the interior and not stand out to much so cut a strip and used the vise to bend it for it to fit perfect into the channel slot wanted it above the the containers but still able to see the top panel to program without pulling it out it turned out great. Gotta love those Voss glass water abottles bought 6 so i have 2 backups only cost 17$ bulk head press connects 6$ siliconing tubing 8$....31$ out the door cant beat it

Finally finished the controller cabinet. Turned out great so far. Will be adding a few things down the road with a couple wavemakers and what not but so far it exceeded my expectations. Everything fit great and face plate is removable for access to the interior compartment. Now that everything is complete its down to the stability game. Now i can update with growth and issues lol hahahaha

Ive had a couple torchs not make it one that was the gift from my wife. Smh everything else is doing great which is weird. All parameters in good standing. Makes me wonder if the torches that got stung by my killer torch just didnt make it through. Found out the hard way some torches will sting others. I have one torch that just cant play nice with others and had to move him to the other side of the tank. Everything is still going good and thriving besides those two. My orange shoulder didnt make it moved him to a qt tank and he just wasnt doing good. No ich no velvet make me think internal parasite. We did get a new Gotti a blue eyed kole tang (bristletooth tang) there are so many names for this guy lol. He has been in tank a few weeks and doing awesome. My tank has never been cleaner. Loves his pe pellets and mysis. As well as his green seaweed that he nibbles on all day long. Corals are doing good so far. Have a sump clean scheduled for tomorrow. Here is some pics.

his green seaweed that he nibbles on all day long

How well are nitrates and phosphates handled with nori in the tank all day? Are they at a really low level that the seaweed in the tank raises them up to adequate levels for you?

Nitrates were at 5 and phos at .02 so this helps keep them from bottoming out for sure i have noticed a difference in polyp extension for sure.....

It got too low for my tastes lol i put some skimmate back in the tank a few weeks ago to try and raise em up a little bit til i could figure out what to do. I have zero algae in the tank and want to make sure Gotti is well fed. 2 clowns 1 diamond goby purple firefish and kole tang so far building slowly but want to start the 150 and get going on it so i can transfer when it comes down to it.

Had an emergency rubble box repair idk how but it fell apart in the tank. Im thinking not enough silicone between the joints glass. Pulled it out cleaned it up and got it resealed. Shrooms are hating the flow. I have amazing flow throughout the tank which i thought was great til the box fell apart and now they are ticked. Moved some things around during cleaning and got some more rock moved to the sump area from the tank to open up rack space on the right side frag hotel lol. But in all honesty pretty ticked that the rubble wont be done curing for atleast 2 days. Smh dang it glad i cleaned today.

That's a darn good idea with the channel down the center. I may very well steal that.
