Angels found my hammers and chowed down. Moved what I could to the exile tank.

I put the yellow line rabbit in the frag tank but the Sailfin is super Afro. Have mirror up.

General tank maintenance performed

Filled the kalkwasser, scraped off the algae scrubber, scraped the glass, organized the fish-sitter's food baggies, filled the auto-feeders, put the mesh tops on the DT... hope its all good... Photos for the road:

All is well with the tank! Mg a lil' low. alk up to 9.2... over 2 phosphates.
Had to razor the glass, replace the spooling roll on my ParlaRoller, scrape the algae off my Parlgae Scrubber (need to make getting the waterWand out easier), add 10ml LC, 10ml iodide, 75ml Mg, 15ml trace elements, and find/reglue some corals.

interesting but loooong...

PCBway failed that first one ... I was n00b... didn't think about trace size and spacing....
new one they approved: I probably shoulda slept on it...

35x54mm footprint. It has 12V motor leads controlled by a button and a single optical switch. It'll get these connectors for the sensor and the power. The back of the button will encased in the same epoxy as this whole board will. The front is protected by a TPU front that's printed into the PETG.
The motor leads will just emerge from the epoxy and the solders at the motor end will get waterproof shrink-tube-ed.
a very robust solution for the controller.

now I know why folks thought I was crazy todo all that soldering!

Ok for someone who has no clue what that is other than a fancy computer looking electrical thingy? What is it and what will you be using it for and why? Awesome job though!
