Please clarify, are these outlets controlled by the 4-pin 1Link connector, or the 2-pin 24v accessory connector? Since 1Link carries both AquaBus communications and 24v power, plugging any non-Apex module into a 1Link could confuse the Apex communications bus. I'm hoping you simply meant the 2-pin connector.

Since the topic of McDonald's was a big issue this morning during the tank move, I thought I'd let a particular person (@markvo) know about this new offer: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/01/business/mcdonalds-egg-mcmuffin-day/index.html Enjoy!

No problem. We have a great reefing community here. Congrats on your new tank...looking forward to seeing it come to life!

Not exactly a little bird...More like a human-sized monkey. 🤣

@Willapa I tried to send you a PM, but it says Unable to send. This is probably because your inbox is full. Please clear out some space, or send my your number so I can text you.

The blue tape on the deck only shows about 1/3 of the new addition. It will extend an additional 19 feet beyond the current deck into the back yard. I was just getting an idea of the fish room size and display tank, which sits right where the current deck is. I'm definitely going to need an automated water change system for the hot tub for when I host future PNWMAS parties...😬

I started mapping out the floorplan on the deck where the new room will be. It looks like I should have plenty of room to work with.

Here are some better shots of that colony:

Funny you mentioned that one Andy. I was planning to bring a frag from my colony, but my plans changed suddenly so I won’t be able to attend the meeting.

I'm meeting with a few contractors next week to do walkthroughs at my house with my plans. This is going to be a pretty big budget operation, so I want to do it right. Slowly making progress...

Ha! Just bustin' your balls. 🤣 It looks awesome.

Look, he said "The Monster Cometh"...not "the mediocre is on its way"...🤣

What about aesthetics? That piss-yellowish-silvery color of unistrut isn't exactly the most attractive. Just saying. 🤣 Are you at least going to peel off the barcode price sticker?

Can you tell us what "he" is?

The cord on the PMUP v1 and v2 is 6 feet long. When you add in the height of the PMUP, it's 6'4". Unless you plan to fill your storage tank to the brim, I don't think you'll need any extension. Some people have cut the PMUP cord, spliced in an additional length of cord, then used glue and heat shrink wrap to seal the splice. By the way, the PMUP uses a 2-pin Molex connector to the 24v accessory port, not the 4-pin 1Link cable.

Here's how I set mine up: I no longer have the Radion lights, so the blue and white light buttons no longer apply since my ReeFi's are not controlled by the Apex.

Sean, maybe next time you should wear a bib to soak up the water instead of setting off Holly's Apex leak sensors at the frag tank! I saw a big red warning on her Apex due to the leak sensor. Or maybe you can blame it on Jeff. 🤣

I’ll pass through Tigard on my way back home to Beaverton if you need a ride.

Wait...I have to ask...Did you hire Platinum Painting to spray paint your stand with Rustoleum??? 🤣

Looks great! Let me know when you have time to give a tour. Good to see you today at Holly's frag sale!

I'm not the burliest guy here, but I'm willing to lend a hand. PM me the details.

@Gil&Fin Holly, you are a cornerstone to our local reefing community. I was lucky to first meet you at @CuttleFishandCoral when I was still very new to reefing and learned about your upcoming $10 frag sale which helped me populate my still-new tank before I really knew what I was doing. Now as I look back at my tank after 2 years, so much of my reef is populated by your amazing corals! Your generosity and hospitality is invaluable to new and seasoned reefers alike. We all love you for what you do and appreciate it more than you probably realize. Sincere thanks!

This photo in particular caught my eye. Not only does it capture the color and beauty of the torch, but it also shows the movement even in a static photo. Well done. 👍

Now serving number 137...Number 137? Going once...Going twice... OK, number 138...
