New Custom Dead Rock

We have finally gotten the video out on this fall’s project on the dead rock.  We had this hand-made and is it ever cool.  Special thanks to the family of the Alternative Reef.

Update on the build

Everyone it’s going pretty well, we did put out a video in November on the Ghost overflow and since we had to add the generation 2 overflow it took us a few days to switch out the two.  cabinet lights

Then we had continued to stain the cabinets and we finished that the last week and now are varnishing the cabinets.  We also have picked up the dead rock we had made by a midwest artist for the tank.  We plan on getting the video done on it very soon, hopefully by Wednesday of this week.  The plumbing is also progressing well, we are adding a small sump light here, the Kessil, and hence we hope by Christmas to have the video out on it too.  Thanks for being patient and your welcome to follow along on facebook, youtube or at www.ReefDVMs.com

Kessil LED lighting review

This is great light and we love these LEDs.  The company is growing and coming out with great new products.  We just saw a good review on BRS TV and thought we’d like to share it with you.  I think AI Vegas are still our fav, but we are using this light in our sump and it’s working great.

Staining Cabinets

Well its been a long week for sure but we are in process.  The first line of work was to get the cabinets finished.  As you can see the poly is not on them yet but they are stained.

Tank and Cabinet are here

Okay we started on a rough note, in Minnesota the weather here has been cold and the rain and snow made the driveway soft, so soft the trucker got his 23 ton rig buried.

That didn’t stop us; we still got the load off after the wrecker came.

We also got it unload and with the help of Kevin my bro and Jason and Karl my friends, it’s in the house.

 Yes still unstained and packaged on the cabinet and the tank is shrink wrapped yet but it’s all in the house on the ground which is good.

Trachyphyllia coral at its best

We are friends with Nano T on Reef2Reef and she shared this great video on a coral we really love.  Enjoy the video; it is well shot and the coral is great looking.
