It’s going to be mixed. I have some sps and lps in a couple of frag tanks that will go in first.
Have been struggling with the lps side ever since I went into the hospital a little while back. Probably done 6 x 50% water changes now but the chalices keep receding. Very frustrating.

So a long story....
I have a fish room that uses APEX classic. Either lightning or bad network switch port took out the ethernet interface on it. So I had to pull my classic off this tank and load the programming into it for the fish room.
Received my replacement APEX from Neptune and have it hooked up and partially programmed now. Still moving things back to the EB8's.
However I thought I would get cute and add reed switches to the doors so the APEX can turn on cabinet lighting auto-magically when a door is opened. That is four hours of my life I wish I could get back.
What a pain in the rear mostly due to my aged eye site and lighting trying to screw those tiny screws in for the switches.

Awesome build bro! If u gonna get rid of the 60’s for a good price I may be interested for my 6 ft Rsr... my 40’s aren’t getting done well enough... thinking of adding a couple 60’s along w the 40’s for some serious flow

Nope 2” sand bed my 40’s full tilt can’t help keep sand clean at all, especially after a couple years of use

Had some help this evening. Made some nice progress. Refugium light installed. Auto-water change plumbed. General cleanup and putting things back on the Apex.
Some free loaders took up residence. Said they do me a solid testing things out and helping with the cycle.
