Re: Neo's 120gal Mixed Reef
A Couple things have been updatde on my system. I got an APEX controller installed for the basic functionality so far with parts avaliable to build my own Input Box for it. Need the box before I can wire up float and manual toggle switches.
I ran into an issue with the APEX when it arrived. Everythign was good excpet for the display unit had a severed cord so it was basically useless. Not really too much of issue as you can set these things up with out having the display unit. Anyways they are sending me a new display which I will be mounting upstairs on the Display tank. Heres a pic of the installation downstairs.
That other box next to the base unit is the thing used to put the controller on the net wirelessly. My router is across the house so running a cable was out of the question. That little box can be had at futureshop for about 30 bucks. Works with xbox as well

I also did the London Fish Store circuit today and left from each store with something.
From Sealife wI grabbed some corals and some coral dip. On a sadder note, Pickles the Ferret is no longer going to reside at the store. I know many children will be heartbroken. Heres what I got:
My leather, kinda looks like a fast and lazy acro.
a little Ricordia thing
And a Candy Cane
From box of water I picked up a goby and shrimp combo, and my 3year old talked me into a Wild Grandma Basslet. So I named it Nicki after my mother in law. These fish disappeared the second they hit the water so I do not have pics of them.
The Goby is a high fin goby and I also got a tiger pistol shrimp. Hopefully they can find each other in my 120gal.
From Incredible I nabbed a couple tangs and a small frag of SPS. The SPS is an experiment to see how it does in the tank.
Its not the powder brwn I was after but is still a gorgeous fish IMO.

Here is what i did with the frags from the swap. And a few other random pics.
Not quite so blue... I figured out that my cam has white balance thing on it.
See what a single red LED will do to an orange clown... It Turns Red.... this is a mild case.
All in all a fun/expensive day.
