Setting up the water storage containers/area now. Have the first of two 42 gallon storage containers set up with bubbler and heater to off gas and preheat the water which should give me the ability to change about 30% water from these two containers. Also set up the filters with established media in the form of matrix media, bio rings and floss the other day, and added 24oz of Smart Start Complete as a little extra safe guard so plan to start SLOWLY stocking later today. It'll be a solid month 6-8 weeks of stocking so that I don't add too much to the bio load at once, but the first few inhabitants will be going in later this evening.

Happy New Year everyone.

FINALLY finished, that big 2.4GB update took forever to download. Looks like it's all set now, but seeing as how it's 2:30am I'll wait till morning to start playing. I went ahead and started a new PSN account because I no longer have the same email I set my old account up with and I couldn't remember my password so couldn;t even get it emailed tome. So just went ahead and set a new one up. So looks like I'm good to go now. New PSN name is : The_Drifter_1971 Now sure what games I an looking forward too yet other than Destiny. For sure the UFC game because I am a big fan of the UFC series of games. That "The last of us" looks pretty good, MLB will probably be one I'll like, There's a few others that look like they might be good but I haven;t had a chance to really look into whats out there much yet.

I think it was on my internet setup. For some reason I had it connecting under the wrong connection and I couldn't get it to do shit. I just went in and picked the proper network and entered my modem password and now it's doing a 25min system update which it would not do before, so I think I'm getting it now.
-
So is the Destiny server still down, saying it's no available when I just hooked it up

And que the choirs of angels..... . . . . . . . .

Sister called today it's at her house. I'll be going and picking it up tomorrow

Here's some pics with the dimmer switch on it. I ran the cable for the switch through the rock wall and attached it to the front trim work around the tank opening that way I can control it while sitting at the desk. Honestly the pics don;t do it justice, for some reason the pics don't look like that much of a difference in lighting, but in person the dimmer actually knocks the brightness down by at least 50% or more. Pics above are full brightness and least brightness, it's also variable between the two.

I think it's simply something that stuck with me from my early days of sobriety to be honest Tommy. Back then bad things happened when I sat still too long with nothing to do so I kept myself busy all the time. Now a days I think it's just something that I got use too and it stuck with me.

LED moonlights installed and wired now.

Well decided to move behind the tank yesterday and today and start getting the backside in order. I figure maintenance on a tank this size is going to be a big enough pain so I wanted to make sure all the support equipment was clean and orderly so that it will make maintenance go as smooth as it can go. So spent some time routing and securing all the wires so they don't look like a big spiders web, as well as set up a little area to work/store items. Also paid a vist to the dollar store and got a bunch of containers to keep bulk foods in for the fish. Getting closer everyday now.
-
Pretty close. I had the tank delivered on March 9th 2013, so just over two months shy of 2 years now.
-
Still a ways to go but here's a sneak peak. Once it's completely finished I'll post some better pics of it. Damn it feels good to sit and see it running after two years of work. The CCF cave lights don't have that purple hue to them in person, they only do in pictures for some reason, they don't photo well. When I take some finished pics I'll have to play with the settings on my camera so I can get the true color to show on film.

Friggin UPS....Shows Monday as the delivery date now. I could have walked it from Ohio to SE Michigan by now.
-
Stupid question...When I get it will I have to sign up again because it's a PS4? I was signed up on PS3 but I didn't know if it would be the same name or if I had to resign up since it's PS4 and not PS3?
-
Well...I don't have it in my hands yet, but my sister did get me a new PS4 for Christmas. It got delayed in shipping and tracking shows it was in Ohio yesterday so I should probably have it in my hands tomorrow. First thing I am going to do is go buy Destiny B)

I COULD SMELL YA GETTIN' OFF THE ELEVATOR!!!

Yep. It's pushed back right now during the leak test.

Well been using a bit of my down time since I closed down my business for 2 weeks during Christmas to try to finally get back to resealing the big 265g aquarium I built my office around. Filled it up about 2 hours ago....so far so good not a drop yet. Hoping for a Christmas miracle! because that would be a lot of water to have to clean up on Christmas lol

Rochester Hills Michigan.

Got a bit more down today on the 3D background between doing Christmas stuff. Probably done working on it now for a couple days till after Christmas.

Pics from downtown Rochester last night.

Done for today, I wasn't sure at first if I was going to be happy with it but I'm liking the direction it is going now. It's going to be interesting when I'm done to see who claims the cave. It's either going to be the 10" Venestus, or the 6" OB I am betting.

Upgrading from a 55g to a 75g for my Mbuna tank. Started a new 3D background for it which I am building a cave right inside the tank that will be illuminated with blue lights inside the cave. Going to be a bit different than ones I have done in the past. Since the cave is actually inside the tank the fish will be able to use the cave as they would a natural one. Making it so that the whole front of the cave is remoavle to aid in ease of cleaning and netting fish.

That's the thing though, nothing mentioned yet would explain why it would work at the time when I switched the HDMI cable on the side of the TV from HDMI1 to HMDI2.
