Yes the hue with color. I’m excited. I recently got an echo show and wanted to see what else I can do with it
Ordered a nest thermostat last week. And lights this week.
If I like the lights think I’ll pick up a few more before Halloween for lighting effects.

Last post from me on this.
Looks like everything is good. No water under/ near the stand (the cause for the refiberglassing). Fish all seem happy.
And also, I did not pick up any new fish. I sent ACC an email asking if the angel was still there. But I got no reply[emoji853] ♂️.
Anyways I...
Sad news. This afternoon while still applying resin I lost my coral Beauty.
I assume it was from limited water flow/ lack of o2
I quickly added the air stones and added fans.
Waited till the glass dried ~1 hour ish and re started the sump
Normally I’d have waited till tomorrow. But don’t...
And! All this maintenance got me to hook up the Kessil lighting control thing. Now my lights are on auto.
One step closer to having a healthy tank for corals.

It was small only made a 6”x6” wet spot over 5 days.
Must have developed a small crack near one of the legs.
Fingers crossed what I did got to that crack or sealed the access to it.

Round 1. Did front half tonight with first coat. My guess is the leak is up here somewhere.
Tomorrow morning I’ll do balance of cost 1 then 2 or three again in the front. Hope it have it all pumping again by Sunday night

Darn it!
I have a small leak some where in the sump.
I was concerned this might happen with the move.
I built the sump into the stands frame. I then fiberglass’d the sump.
I knew with the way we moved it there might be stress placed on the frame that may transfer and crack the glass...
Now that my tank is stable and settled, going to try to do corals.
First on my list of prep. Thoughts on how I can test for copper? I have a test kit but the vile is tinted blue from previous tests. Guess I can just get new test tubes
What else should I do to prep.
Btw, the two corals I...
Tank is put together, finally.
Took me a whole week ♂️
Thank you again for all the help. Now I start on the fish room in the basement. My wife is going to love this!

Next step. My water making no setup at this house is not going to work like it did at the old house. House is much smaller and I do not have the space to hide the barrels.
So now I have to see about making a hole in the floor ( not happy about this) and making water in the basement.

Ok finally have a good update
Marks hose over pipe is working well! Thanks. The water is circulating correctly and I've adjusted it all so it's whisper quiet again
Temp dropped to 75. But have the two heaters back in the sump and hope it heats back up to 78/79 quickly.
I have the house at...
... I bought a heater on Sunday. It arrived today. It was not cheap.
It arrived today. I thought it was the same one I had. After opening the box I realized it was missing the temp display
I keep reading and instructions say it requires a controller Why would it not come with one. Why...
I added the skimmer to the DT last night. Cleaned out the sun tonight.
Did a quick test of that return pipe. Turns out I did a poor job of gluing it up. Has a small leak. [emoji853] I'll have to cut it and reglue. But need to get a new piece.
Also I'm still down a heater. So looks like it's...
