Re-post of link
Here is a link to Amazon, Myself you would use the

There are shop that install LED in you area, and I would check and see if they have small pieces of different color LED strip that you could use. You could always post a vid to promote their business on facebooks.

Getting ready for tomorrow's fish arrivals.

Apex is ready for automatic fish feeder, filled with crossover diet pellets (fish crack food according to Chris Meckley from ACI Aquaculture) from both @Neptunesystems and @Reef Nutrition.

Salinity is slightly adjusted to 1.025 to meet the condition that they are in now.

Big boy @ReefOctopus skimmer from @coralvue is up and running!

Time to sleep now. Gotta wake up in 5 hrs. Good night Facebook.

Did wire management yesterday. Majority of them are now done.

Before.

Pulling all the clutter out. Proper wire management is crucial because it can cause

1.) fire hazard
2.) water damage on your expensive equipments
3.) definitely not baby proof

List can go on.

I came up with an idea to use matching PVCs that I used for my plumbing to push my wire through.

I got together with Carlos of C&C AQUARIUMS to plan things properly.

Bought plastic material pipe holder (metals rust/oxidate in time specially when it's exposed to salt water)

Used stainless steel screws (not metal with zinc coated ones)

Minimum usage of zip ties in case I may have to add or remove an equipment down the road.

Make it modular so that I can easily add or remove wires. (Bought 90, 45 elbows to show minimum amount of wires) we cut the tube in half and added a coupler so that we can easily take things out or add if need be.

It's not finished product yet and it will be done within a day or two but just wanted to share with you guys to let you know that there are easy ways to manage your wires without getting too complicated.

Pipes, pipe holder, box of 50 nails, elbows and couplers costed less then 20 dollars.

You can see the progression shots here. Little by little, things are getting organized for the better.

Took some pics with my iPhone last night.

Day 12 as of today using turbo start 900 to jump start my cycle. All fish are doing well and all the diatoms have died down now.

I think it's time for some frags. ;)
