Just tested out
0 nitrates
0 nitrites
8.4 ph
400 ppm calcium
I'm outta test for alk so I gotta go get some today!
1.021 spec. gravity so I am gonna creep that up with extra salty top off water for a few days to ease it back up.
I actually had a deal going for all of dentdominator's collection but since he had the same issue as me well that is on hold for now! I still call first dibs once he has everything back in shape if he still wants to move them though ;-)

I've been busy!
I have been busy working on the tank for the past week and a half in the evenings. Here is my list of missions accomplished!
1.Replaced the waterfall super sump pump with one of my mag 9.5's to tone down the return rate
2. Built an electrical control panel to switch EVERYTHING that requires electricity
3. Built (2) 10 LED arrays with blue LEDS and resistors to run as "moonlights"
4. Mounted aforementioned LED arrays to my MH pendants
5. Installed a Tunze 6200, a Tunze 6100 and a Tunze 7095 controller for the display tank
6. Finally installed and started up my ASM skimmer in the sump(pulling up nice semi-dry really REALLY stinky skimate after the first hour or so)
7. Added a few pieces of coral (2 brains, a huge colony of aussie that I am not sure yet on ID, a nice sized colony of clove polyps, a nice plate coral)
8. Replaced my RO filter membrane and also replaced my DI media on my filter and cleaned up the plumbing on said filter(it looked like a bowl of spaghetti)
9. Sat and watched my tank for hours.............SIGH............
Pics to follow but right now I am TIRED!!!!!!!! lol

Redneck "moonlight" LEDs
I know i will catch some flack over these but what do you expect from an Okie using a few cheap LEDs, some acrylic scraps, acouple wallworts and some resistors....lol
I am not trying to light the aquarium with these! Just wanted a nice soft blue glow at night instead of a blacked out tank with a pinpoint of like from the Tunze controller's LED on my top rock.
You can't really tell from the pics either but all the bare wiring and solder joints have been "dipped" in liquid electrical tape to insulate all the bare spots.
