    Thanks Jim,
    I have helped a few guys drill their tanks. Helped JD just yesterday. As long as they are willing to let me show them how to do it themselves. They find it is really not that difficult. I am limited also to the drill bit sizes I already have
    The 90G was given to me and the guy let me watch as he drilled it for me. He assured me it wasn't hard. So when I got my cube, I watched videos I took the plunge and discovered the fear was the worst. As long as I check with the manufacturer to find out it isn't tempured, I am comfortable.

    I love your tank by the way

    A couple of my grandkids won't use that toilet! LOL
    They say it is too spooky in there with that stuff GROWING in the tank. I thought that was just too funny. They aren't that young either! 9 years old!

    My cat can't wait until I do maintenance. He runs as fast as he can to get in there to watch me work. So funny.

    New bulbs are finally added. My fixture holds 4 bulbs so I have 2 ATI Blue Plus and 2 ATI Coral Plus.
    It definitely has a bluer hue to it but I don't think it is too blue. The picture looks a bit bluer that real life

    I am curious to see if it makes a difference in the growth of the corals.
    I also got my ATO kit in and am going to try to install that on Saturday if my helper's schedule works out.
    I just love having reefer friends. Oh, and I changed out my filters on my RO/DI. I chose not to replace the carbon post filter yet. It is a 5 stage system. I just switched out the main 3 that are in the canisters. I will try to get the Carbon and DI post filters next.
    Just having to get things slowly. We really have very good water here. It is the best as far as water testing in Genesee County or so the water people and a plumber told me.
    Don't know if that makes a difference but it took a very long time before my filters showed any change of color at all.

    Thank you Jamie. It is nowhere near where yours has come but finally I feel I have a good start again. Can't wait to pick up frags. I have been housebound all thru Dec and Jan due to lung issues but am finally feeling I am over the worst of it. I am still being very careful about when I get out. Trying to stay out of the extreme windy wet cold. Difficult because of good ole Michigan weather but we have been lucky so far this year.
