Pricewise these were too bad. They were about half of what it would take me to do AIs or Radions.

I got the controller all connected and everything. I just need to get some eye bolts to hang the lights.

Allright, I got the new lights all programed and installed. Unfortunately, I finished when the moonlights are on so I couldn't take a good picture. I do like the lights with all of them on. I turned them on manually with my phone to get a quick look. I liked how they looked, they are little whiter than my T-5s but not bad. I am glad that I didn't have to blaze the trail in terms of programming the Apex.

Good to hear they went up quickly. I was wondering how much programming you might have to do.

The programming wasn't to bad. I had to set up a couple of profiles in the Apex and then do a few lines of simple programming. It was basically IF--Then Statements. I verfied this morning that the blue lights were ramping up correctly.

Looks good Mike. I was looking at your rock work trying to see if you spelled something out.

Re:New House, new Fish Room Build

Well, I have some bad news to report. The ich that I had returned. I lost one of the semilarvatus. I was able to pull the rest of the fish out and now have them in QT again with copper. Also, I am going to have to get rid of a couple of the butterflies. I bought some SPS at Preuss and couple of them immediately attacked them. Here is kind of a run down what I found so far.
Hammer and Torch coral .... left alone by all
SPS -- Attacked by Semilarvatus (which I knew was a risk) and Punctatofasciatus (Per an article I read was safe with everything)
I ended up re-scaping the tank as a result of catching the fish. I will grab a picture tomorrow

Sorry to hear that Mike.
It can't be easy to catch a fish in that size of a tank.

Thanks AJ! Not as bad as I thought. Only took a couple hours. I only took out a couple rock. I did have to move a bunch though

Any thoughts to keeping a pair of cleaner shrimp in the tank?

I don't think I am going to go the shrimp route. They still won't eat stuff in the sand bed. This could get ugly. I lost another 2 today. 1 Longnose and the Vagabond. I am treating the tank with Copper and Prazipro. Let's see if they pull through
