Ok, waters have cleared and everything appears to be bouncing back.

I took the time this last week to get all the new goodies I recently acquired set up and running on the tank. I'll add some pictures later of the different setups.
I added a Vortech Battery backup and installed the wireless expansion chip from EcoTech into my MP10es, making it a MP10wES. I mounted the battery backup in the rear of my stand.

In front of the backup, I mounted a 6x6x4 weatherproof junction box that I mounted my apex base unit and gaming adapter inside of. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the junction box and used a PVC fitting to make a bulkhead to run cables through. I set up the apex for internet accessibility; check out my tank's status @ http://www.reeftronics.net/justin-b/apex-status

I mounted the 2- EB8 (apex power strips) in a 12x12x6 junction box that does fit in the stand, but doesn't work as well as I'd hoped; I'll likely be removing the EB8's and simply mounting them to the interior walls of the stand. Also mounted in the larger junction box is the Aquacontroller WXM; it allows the Apex to control wireless Vortech pumps. It's pretty cool to simply hit feed on the Apex and have my returns go off automatically and the vortech kicked down into feed mode.

The Deltec MCE 300 is a skimming beast, it was pretty interesting to see how much gunk it pulled out of the tank after the move.

All in all, I don't have everything set back up on the tank (ATO is on my list for tonight), but it's getting back to where it needs to be.
