My 600 gallon reef

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.

i still have a bunch of loose ends to finish up, but all the attic work is out of the way at least
 
Curious about the dedicated AC. Is the reason it is separate so that you can have different temperature settings for house and fish room?
 
Wow, you are a committed fish keeper. And it has paid off, as the tank is stunning.

And I can tell you right off the bat I like you. Know why?

I can show my wife this post and she will think the time I spend on my planted Rainbow tank is relatively normal in comparison!!!;););)

Sweet! I bet this tank is amazing in person!
 
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

I couldn't imagine the cost and maintenance on that beast but it's seem well worth it, it's amazing!! Love the video!
