Beautiful! Don't know what camera you're using but you might try a gel filter. Take away the blue look.

Well , I got a some goodies for the tank room. I have decided to put in a dedicated a/c unit in the room, taking off the house system. I will also be installing an exhaust vent in the room. Many things led to this decision , so my new projects are starting.

Quite the project. I'm guessing there was heat involved in your decision? [emoji38]

Heat was not a lot of the issue, except my tank room is right by my air intake, which when the ac is running, the rest of the house will be a little cooler. Not the big of a deal. The main issue is when it's cold outside and my ac does not run due to very good insulation in the home. When my a/c does not run for 2 or 3 days, I have humidity build up in the next room and hallway. So by sealing the room, which will always be warmer, the ac in the room will run daily. The addition of the vent will be to help export damp air that will be trapped in that room.

Well I got to knock out some stuff on my new project!

Saturday I got to form up a little pad for the ac , I took down the fan and replaced the light

Now that I have the ac project wrapped up, I had an itch to clean up the powerheads today.
they got soaked in 75/25 water/vinegar bath for 3 hours. They came out great, well considering I've never cleaned them
