    Well I took the fixture off to get the fan attached that I forgot about and to enclose all of the loose wires in split loom to keep it clean looking and to protect the wires.

    So I painted the conduit all black and it looks much better. I started by threading an extra piece of wire through the conduit and attached it to the split loom with the wires to pull it through.

    Got it all wired up neatly.

    Nice! Clean wire FTW.

    So.. when is it getting wet?


    PS: how's the physical therapy going? Is it your right leg because I see it in the pics.

    It's going, just started this last week, I have limited ROM to about 45 degrees bent and I can fully lock out. Still have a long ways to go but little by little it will get done. I want to wait for the new Algae Scrubber design to come out in may before I put water in it.

    Here is the rock work in a few of the pictures you can see the current is different thanks to the SCWD.

    Nice job Scott! Hows everything going out in the valley? Any plans to head out to the coast in the near future? If you do I can give you a frag or two to get something in there besides water and rock.

    I'm sorry for my ignorance but "SCWD"? What is it? Tank looks great, do the lights have more spread in person?
