In other news, an early terminal phase ornate leopard wrasse was added to the DT today. It immediately buried itself in the sand. Hopefully it comes out tomorrow. I'll try to get pics.

Good morning, Team Styx and Happy Saturday! "Operation Overhaul" continues and I should have some more content / progress pics for you later on today. In the meantime, I hope you all have amazing days. Happy reefing!

Namaste.

Ah coffee time. passed all City inspections on Wednesday. Now we get to do the custom finishes and call for a final. New rules now they said due to people do not finish a project or even paint their house when done, City now requires it all to be done including paint to get final .So we have to go shopping for stone and tile for walls and pillars, lights and fans so I can install it and get final.

New toy arrived today! I invested in a 4k camera setup for making more youtube videos. Got a pelican case, filters, and a tripod coming, too. I assembled it while waiting for paint to dry, but will play with this later. For now, it's time for a hot shower and chow.

Namaste.

hmm and what kind of movies will you be making? hahah a documentary on how fishstyx painted the world orange?

Okay, Team Styx, the controller cabinet is finished! It is far from perfect, but it will serve me perfectly fine. I'll skip the progress pics of the assembly for now, but will include them in the article I write for DIY controller cabinets (hint, hint: read it). I should be able to get everything wired in over the next few days, and will post a pic of it once it is up and running. In the mean time, here are some pics of the finished product:

oooohhhh .....ahhhhhhh....the lights......for some reason now I want a beer lol....

Hahahahaha. I'm still working on overhauling the system. Getting close to being done, though. I've been dialing in my new lighting settings and playing with the spectrum. I'm absolutely in love with these K7's!
