Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
This is probably a stupid question, but did you swap the bulbs and make sure they both worked?
Other than that, maybe pull it apart and check wiring. Have a volt meter?
Last week I ran across a post on a forum that listed who died and on which pages. I thought it was a ruse and sent it to a co-worker who loves the series. Turns out it was 100% dead on. Man was he mad! :P
Yeah, I spent HOURS staring at that tank while my dog was getting cancer surgery. Pretty amazing setup.
I think my favorite part was playing 'find the hawkfish'.
Either that or watching the hippo tangs swim in fast circles the entire time.
Amazing tank, that's for sure!
Personally, I think drilling,glueing, etc is kind of a bad idea.
You never know if you're going to like the scape, and you never know if you're going to have to dissassemble or move around the structure.

Well, I guess it's good to have ethics, but if someone has what i want for sale, at a price i'm willing to pay, then i'll buy it. May not go back there, but it's certainly not the fish's fault the store owner sucks.
Thanks, Twan.
If I had it to do over again, though, I never would have bought him. I had 2 cleaners I had to give up because he's just...well, he's just hungry, I guess.
Wow. You're really taking your time with this endevour. I think I started my first tank around the time you started building this, and now I've already broken down that tank and have my second tank thriving...
Not an insult, by any means...you just must be one patient guy!
2 timers for me:
1 for fan and actinic, coming on 20 mins before
10k on the other one, turning off 20 mins before actinic
LEDs plugged in full time. Those things last like 20k hours or something silly, I believe.
