hey kevin, it seems you are the only one who cares about this thread LOL
my brother came down to help me sunday and we spent 8 hours on the tank.
most of the time was spent taking everything out and finally catching the blackcap and removing the anenome. so i was planning on taking pictures tonight of the new rockwork and new corals (we traded a little). we also made some slight adjustments to the closed loop system which had some VERY slow leaks. everything is looking good now.
next time he comes, we have to measure and cut out a new notch for the actual CLS return plumbing, because it is in a different location then we originally planned. with that notch cut, we can continue with the cnaopy construction.
In addition to the canopy, which is first on the list to complete, the final upgrade is going to be an auto top off unit / Kalkwasser drip that does not require an RO / DI unit. this will be blaced in the large opening on the right side.
