  1. Been a little side tracked with another project making acrylic boxes for a “living” periodic table but I did come up with some racks for my frag tank to hold 1” or 3” tiles along with 3/8” plugs. Might get the legs on and have them in the tank by end of next week.

  2. Been far behind with getting things done but a weekend off finally let me make some progress on the dozen things I have going right now  

    Project in the works. Magnetic auto feeder mount. A clear acrylic chimney will be attached to the inside magnet.

  3. Be prepared before it happens. I have everything on a battery ups backup. The apex will alert me of a power outage and turns off non critical equipment giving me 30-40 minutes of run time to get home. Dedicated generator in the garage that can run the tank for 12 hours on a tank of gas. 
     

    key is to test your backups before you need to use them. I’ve ran mine through simulated power outages to ensure nothing will overflow and everything stays running smoothly. I have since made changes such as running back up heaters on separate ups backups that kick on when the main ones die or fail. Another change was putting the Wifi router on a backup to make sure I always get alerts from the apex. 

  4. Doing some dosing containers for someone local this week but made this one to match a reefers sump: 

    Acrylic price plugs have been keeping me busy alone. Selling large bulk orders to stores and frag operations.

  5. Also an accidental fragging of my homewrecker last night. Cut a few other pieces and ended up hitting this one with the end of the bone snips. Ended up being a pretty nice frag that’s already branching.

  6. Been working on my dosing pump stand to fit the new containers I made. This sits in the closet beside the tank and also is where the RO water is stored. the bottom will hold the trident waste container and CO2 scrubber. 
    Last picture is new zoa additions I picked up last minute yesterday and got shipped next day.

  7. Been neglecting my tank and projects to work on others but I’m going to get my new dosing containers up and running this weekend. CO2 reactor is running and the 1/2” lines really helped with proper airflow to the skimmer. The frag tank is finally thinned out after the cinci show so I can focus on some higher end pieces to grow out.
