So my journey continues at this point, though things have not been going the way they should. I have not been active as of late, i apologize. The reason is that i found out i have a 5th kid on the way, and i've been working 12.5 hour days, and i no longer work from home. As to the tank, about a month ago, the gfi kept tripping at times, i couldn't figure it out. fast forward a week, one of my wav pumps no longer works, and the stereo only has one volume. I considered shutting down the tank, but my wife of all people convinced me otherwise, and my two little ones love it, so i ordered a new wav pump and stereo for the tv. I also found the reason for the tripping, the one channel for my ati t5 was tripping it, when i looked further i realized all 3 cooling fans were not working, ordered them and replaced, tank was running well. then comes earlier this week. I get a text from my wife, she is having a bad day, i wind up leaving work to take care of the kids. after being home for a while, i glance at my tank, lights are out, i thought it was just the gfi again, i go to reset it, i see pumps are working. Long story short, the apex unit was shot. I run to the store for a new one as my tank is dependent on it at this point, on the way i get an alert, the unit has permanently switched on my heater, i had to have my wife pull the plug on the system, i get to the store, all they carry is the new model, i have no choice, at that point, so i buy it. come home, reprogram the hole system, now i have a few new probes as well, which is nice, but not really needed. I plug in my DOS unit, no lights really come on, i tap the dose button, nothing, the unit is fried. Luckily amazon has it, so i have to next day air the dos unit in. At this point, i've sent my complaints to apex and i'll see what happens there, but i don't have my hopes up. In the middle of all this my computer hard drive dies as well, i have to buy windows and a new hard drive. As for the tank, fish and coral are doing well, so thats one thing i got going for me, lol.
$h!t dude...I'm surprised you didn't just put ur fist through the tank

That sucks.

click "windows + r" on your keyboard. That should bring up the run window

In the run window type diskmgmt.msc and click on

take a screen shot of you see there

I'm assuming Disk 2 is the size of the xbox drive correct? If you if you right click on it you should see an option to format it as well as assign a letter

Figured I would update, I haven't done much with the tank, for my birthday I picked up a blue squamosa clam, trachy and also a gold hammer not in the pic, tank is chugging along, sps are give and take but growing for the most part. Still trying to get everything stable.
