I spaced some of the controllers more evenly, labeled everything, and mounted all of the power bricks to the back support. The only thing I have left to do is wire in the breakout box. I am wiring up sensors that, when the doors to any of the cabinets open (tank, fuge, controller), the lights inside them turn on. I tried to cover the bottom lights in the controller cabinet with white electrical tape, but they were still visible even after three layers, so I think I'm going to paint over them. They are just too much. I'm also wiring in the intrusion detection system that, when active, sends email / text alerts, trips an audible alarm, and snaps a picture when the doors are opened. Nosy nieces and fathers-in-law beware!

Turned out nicely and will be even better after blocking out those bottom lights. Well done!

Hope you’re able to get the dictator and yourself a piece of this today!

After two long months of recovery, The Dainty Dictator returned to work yesterday. I have nobody to take care of now, and am not sure what to do with myself. I wonder what mischief I can get into... also, for note, I love the orange 3.14

Good morning, Team Styx and Happy Paddy's!! Sorry I've been a bit quiet the last day or so. I know, highly unusual. lol. With The Dainty Dictator back to work and requiring less care, I've seized upon the opportunity to get caught up on some other odds and ends that had been deferred.

Anywho, I should have some more reef related content to share later on today and/or tomorrow. In the meantime, I hope you all have outstanding days!

Namaste.

Hahahahahahahahaha. I'm in a time warp. Today is Thursday and only the 16th. Disregard my previous post (until tomorrow). Perhaps I shouldn't post anything until after my 3rd cup of coffee...

Nah, we can just chalk that one up to my eccentricities.
“Eccentric” is a term reserved to describe very wealthy people who are crazy! Unfortunately, you’re not rich enough to qualify. You’re just nuckin’ futs like the rest of us!
