Dogstar, on my two 180 and 240 reef tanks that is which still being made ready for completion in their setup, I had two months ago if that had made the change to have custom build canopies on both for I felt that because of my injuries I always look to make things look a whole lot easy like for I don't even carry a bucket of water and besides that, I cant.

Or no Dog, no question for if I had one I would had ask it for the largest reef tank I ever done before was the 180 I have and I seem to have wanted something even more and then I wanted to start a 200 gal reef but one thing lead to another and I found myself making it a 240.
This is the patience that I speak of to many for I had been in plan with this 240 for a little more then two years for the other thing was, I was still living in a huge apartment and at the time the larger reef tank came into thought, I was also in mind to move to a private home.
So I didn't want to setup the 240 and to only break it down to move it for if it were to be a F/O tank, then that might had been pretty much a different story. As through this time period of waiting and all, I keep making some modifications on the 240 for I no idea on how many changes I done for when the contract was first made up on the 240, the price was under $12,000 and was only upgraded some $3,000 more.
As well, while still in the wait until Jeff gets his Butt moving and finish this all. I am still in thought to what modifications I can make to better this. Like as of right now, a while ago I stop Jeff from finishing the lights and chillers being started up. For I live as they say it, Out in the boom docks and that is whereas well one can have for sure at anytime a power surge.
For this I have my power company hook up at the main box a surge protector, $138 for the item and installation with tax, I have to believe that it cant be much of a protection, so I am waiting for these surge protection boxes that you plug in and you can only plug in up to 15 amps and the company that makes these boxes guarantees you up too $150,000 if anything happens.
Dog, you think it stops there? For I was still in the thought for what else I may be able to do and that lead to another modification later like anywhere from 3-5 years down the road. For right now, I have three troy built 5550 generators and the each are just over $700 and could power up to 550 watts. Now if a power outage happens, these generators will make a hell of a noise and not to mention the gas odors. So in the coming years, give or take 3-5 years I will be buying a home generator that generates up to 15,000 watts= 64.2 I think it is in amps for at a cost of $7-8,000.
I will not every heal from the injury in which stopped me from working in which is the reason why I cannot carry so heavy items for even when I do my weekly water change for my twin eel tanks of 30-32 gals. I have thing setup that I left nothing other then the pump I use to pump the water out of the tanks and into a Rubbermaid I have on wheels and then I move that to the sink and pump the water out of the Rubbermaid. And then I these two Rubbermaid's that are setup in the closet of my computer room where the eel tanks are for I run my own water with an RO/DI unit and from where I use to live, I had to add a fifth stage, a second RO/DI cartridge, and i pump the water from the Rubbermaid I made ready yesterday for i never want that water to age to long by seating there and then I pump it into the tank(s) and wait a while if my hand is wet and plug back in the main plug from the wall and I check all the pumps that everything is working and that was all she wrote
I only need to order a good stepping stool and I need to get me some type of round short sticks to use to hold open the canopies doors This using your head for making things easy is making me go
