    This evening I thought I would fix a few things that have been bothering me.... Ever since I put the ballast up high, I have hated the ugly warped piece of ply wood I had them on... Well, I picked up a shelf that was in the back room at work and WALA! That eye sore is over!

    Also.. The complex moutian of cords has always touched my OCD nerve. I just havent been able to figure out what I wanted to do with them all.  Well, that too is about to be solved. I have been working on how I want this control panel to be and tonight I put together the door to see just how I would like everything to work out...

    I will build the back box and mount this thing hopefully tomorrow night which will be just in time for my new T5 lights to come in.   I will post more tomorrow.  Stay tuned.

    Light upgrade..... Its not much but it finally gives me a dusk dawn and moon light effect that I have been running without.  It does show through bluer and when I put some better bulbs in I am sure it will come to life.

    I am happy with it so far. I still have to get it hung but, its over the tank now.

    Operation SPS is well under way. The T5s have been added the leathers have been trimmed down to almost nothing, all levels are a go and rock work.... well I can live with it...

    Soon as I can get the Par Meter, I want to see what this thing is pushing at the bottom and around the tank. Then it will be on to a new start in 2012 with the purchasing of SPS colonies to stock..

    I cant wait!

    Keep me in mind when you get ready to stock up. I can't wait to see what it looks like full up

    Oddly enough with just the rearranging I have done I have taken a better likeing to the tank.   I thought surely when I empty it of the leathers I would have a bare tank I would be devistated over but I have found a calm in the look and cant wait till I can watch the SPS grow and take off... This time next year... it should be a site.
