More things came in while I was out of state. I connected all the extension cables from neptune systems and configured the wavs and the auto feeder.

When the ecotech's wires come in on Monday, we have another video in the work.

Proper wire management and making your tank less fire hazardous!

 

[jsker]

Coming along with the electronics. My next project will be setting up another EB 8

 

[Afishionado]

funny thing is that I had all my electronics but the wires were too short! doh!

I planned how to mount everything and forget to correctly count everything. This will get going, slowly but surely!

Next week, my fish from my old system will be coming back home!

 

[jsker]

My cords are all to long
Big week next week with adding the fish

 

[Afishionado]

Hahaha I guess we all have different dilemmas haha. Both Neptune systems and ecotech sent me 15 ft additional cords and I bought 15ft additional cord to attach power cord to the apex power brick. Now, how do I do this without hiding all the wires? That is the big question haha.

I bought some cable wraps to see if the work on cleaning up my wires. It would be nice if Apex made 1' 2' aqua bus cables. Look forward to the fish going this week, have a good one

 

[Afishionado]

Don't mind the wire mess. I'm in the process of switching out a lot of the existing wires for the longer ones and mounting them properly.

Look for another excting reef2reef tank tv episode coming soon!

But besides that, I had a big mishap this weekend.

My little daughter somehow got ahold of bottle of flake food and decided to feed the Fishies that's none existent in my tank. She emptied out the whole bottle and within several hours tank was brown, green and smelly.

I enlisted help of 24/7 aquarium at 932pm to do emergency 100g-ish water change and dude left a BBQ party to come to me to take care of my tank. What a service!

Water is looking a lot better and ammonia level isn't too bad. We are still on schedule for adding fish when I come back from Superzoo trade show on this weekend.

Big thanks to Shane of 24/7 aquariums!

 

[jsker]

LoL you not the first person this weekend that daddy little helper fed the fish I ran another post that this happen. The positive side is that you got a massive water change and you did not have the fish in yet
