    Hi all
    After spending Friday and Saturday at MACNA I am really fired up to get the 120 going.
    I thought it might be nice to document my progress as I inch my way to rolling out my main tank again.
    I need to clean up and organize all of my equipment, make sure it is all working OK and replace what is not useable any longer such as old test kits etc.
     There are 3 main components I need before the tank can be fully functionable:
    1) A controller....( I saw the Vertex controller at MACNA and I am convinced that is the way I want to go. They will be shipping the Android based controllers in 30 to 60 days)
    2) Rock and substrate for the tank.
    3) Basic supplies such as Test kits, Carbon, Bio-pellets, filter backs and etc.
    So after getting home from MACNA late last night I was pumped to get started on cleaning up and testing my existing equipment so its all ready to go.
    Today I pulled out my nice little skimmer and broke it down and got it all cleaned up and ready.

    At MACNA I paid a visit to Marco Rocks and left with this rock....(just the rock in the front of the pic)

    Last, I have decided NOT to do Zeovit this time around so instead I am going to run a low nutrient system via Bio-Pellets.
    Here is my new R-O Bio-Pellet reactor.

    Thats it for today....
    Last, I want to say it was great to see old friends at MACNA and it was great to meet some of the new members who have joined GIRS since I last left the community for a while. I had a great time and look forward to future Girs events!

    It was so nice meeting you! Look forward to seeing you again and seeing what kind of tank you can build. Looks really impressive so far /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Yes...keep the build threat going. I'm sure many would enjoy watching your progress.

    And..I also was glad to have met you at the conference. And thanks for training me at the registration desk on Friday ! I hope to see you at Fall Fest in the Quad Cities.
