Ultra High Tech 300 gallon Discus install journal

[rbarn]

The wiring is pretty much 95% done now.

The hatchback gas shocks are WAY too strong. Going to call www.spdhardware.com next week and see what they recommend and have of similar length but correct pressure for the weight, and going to move the mounting brackets down and improve shock geometry

Will try and get the lights up and running off the Apex this week and start playing with the dimmer and timing controls

$30k, give or take. ...... but half that is in the custom bookcase and tank.

just finishing up boring wiring details with the lights and Apex now. Should have the lights up and running soon. Got the Apex working on my home network and I can see and program it now from desktop PC in my office.
