T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank)

A mini-chronology of the set up of my ~1000g (total volume) reef.

    I got this new tang. His name is BillyBob (no I didn't name him), and he is awesome. He has some evidence of hard living, a scared face. He has a wonderful personality though, and really active all the time so I'm thrilled. He came from a wonderfully spoiled home and I hope that he is happy in his new permanent home soon. He changed colours a few days after I got him for about 5 minutes, it was really mesmerizing and stunning to watch. Apologies on the "phone quality" it was one of those, ...

    I set up the RKE on the 90, and am waiting for the new SL2 module to be released. I'm 98% sure there is something wrong with the calibration of my pH probe. ...
