Yea the red sea kit was a nightmare.

It wont be hard, i will just grab some cable from work when your ready n make it look nice to.

I am sure all of us have the common sense to know when you were going to blow you engine up, wreck your house or burn your toast...
..and its three minutes for a sparky not an hour...


Sorry bud but i dont completely agree with you there, its when you get people playing DIY with electricity that you get fires starting and killing people as they sleep, same as i never tamper with breaks on a car, there is some things that should just be left to the people that have had adequate training.

Most people know a sparky and i dont know anyone that would say no to looking at something like that for a friend. Sorry but electrical issues hit very close to home.

..if you are getting one...get TWO, put them in the same box and have different set points for cooling then chilling or heating and more heating

Its ok , to know your limits, when to push past and when to rest....its the best thing.

Yeah if you get two STC1000's you can get one to switch a fan/s and a second to turn on your chiller/chiller pump combo.

...why run your chiller pump and chiller all year when they may never come on at all ? Save power, less heat in your tank....so less chilling needed.

And it lets you run more heaters if you need to.
Most aquairum controllers have two set points for cooling and heating...so i guess three...
One for fans.
One for Chiller/pump
One for Heating.

..tho a lot of AIO tanks have temperature controllers for the fans in the hoods (for people that have such tanks).

Well i finally got a half decent camera that can capture the actual colours that i see. I have been playing around with it tonight and got a couple of ok photo's so i thought i would upload them. My photography skills are still crap but the camera makes up for it :roflmao:

Excuse the dirty scratched glass :wall: All the photo's are untouched, straight from the camera.

Thanks for the kind words.

Im using from front to back:
KZ SuperBlue
KZ New Gen
KZ Super Blue
KZ New Gen
KZ Fiji Purple

KZ Fiji Purple

Im thinking about trading out the last fiji purple for another super blue and maybe putting a red one in somewhere aswell but will wait and see, im pretty happy with it so far and the corals seem to love it so im a bit hesitant to change anything.
