It was plugged into that strip for about 9 months....

Better yet have an electrician up the wiring to your fish tank outlets to a thicker gauge and up the circuit breaker as well. You spend a couple grand on a fish tank I think a couple hundred on the wiring to ensure it doesn't go up in smoke is a good price. JMHO.

Update on my ich...
I have made it to week 5 since ich became an epidemic in my tank; today it is all gone!!! Yes all gone!!!
All my tangs made it, when they were covered in ich, ready to die, yes die...
The only thing I lost was a cleaner goby that I purchased already sick from PetCo plus I hadn't connected the UV unit...
To all those none believers in UV units, I made a nice trial run with it and within 5 weeks I eliminated the bastards and run a clean reef once more...
Now I wait for the healing process for some of my tangs, they have battle wounds from the massive amounts of ich that attacked them...
Had I not purchased the UV unit, my fish should all be dead; how do I know that???
Well in the past I ran my cubes with zero meds, just the reef safe ones, and within two weeks all my fish had succumbed to the ich parasites...
UV units are wonderful pieces of equipment, easy to install and very safe; no controllers necessary....

YAY :clapping: :banadance: :award: :jugg: :bash1:
Glad to hear everyone (except the poor goby RIP) made it free and clear. Thanks to you I'll probably buy a small UV unit to have for just in case.

Thanks guys,
As the fins heal on some of my tangs, I'll be introducing a new picture of them happy once more...

Hey Reefers,
My 72 gallon reef wouldn't be complete without the ReefKeeper 2. So I took the plunge during the free shipping that DA offered and got both the RK2 and the PH probe...
Since DA worked hard on keeping the controller free of all cords but one, I mounted it on the outside of my cabinet...
The sleek black look is incredible next to my tank that is all black both canopy and stand. In fact I made sure to visit Circuit City and purchased a satellite mount for the esthetics....
I came home and had fun connecting it to my side of my tank. If you take a look at ELOS tanks; those that haven't seen them they are Italian made and look incredible...
They have the controller mounted on a single pole next to the reef like an exhibit at a museum. Anyways this is how she looks, tell me what all you think???

Here are two new editions I added to my reef tank; button polyps on a small tongan branch and a blue dot mushroom rock mixed with polyps...
I found this bristle worm on the botton polyps and removed him...

The weekend came and I was able to configure my Reef Keeper 2. Here she is in action...
I now have two PH probes running in my system; Milwaukee Controller is in my main display she runs a PH of 8.0 - 8.3 throughout the day. The RK2 PH probe is in my sump measuring my calcium reactor effluent; right now it reads 7.83 and when I dropped it in my display tank next to the other probe she read identical...
I will be running the caclium reactor at 6.8 PH to properly break down my arragonite. My calcium reactor is off line since I'm waiting for a replacement piece that went bad...
But from what I have been able to conclude is that the PH probe from Pinpoint is extremely accurate and very easy to calibrate with the solutions supplied by Digital Aqautics...
From reading post it's clear that Digital Aquatics is correct about where you should place your probe, under good flow, not just any where in the sump where the flow can be dead...
From what I've viewed there is a clear difference in PH readings from main display to stagnant sump; make sure you place it under good flow...
