protected $connection in Model is not being recognized

Disregard this. I recreated my app from scratch just to test the setup and it worked just fine. I must've boogered it up somewhere.

I am trying to have my model connect to a different database. I have my two connections setup in my database.php and I have my model setup. It is still looking for the default 'mysql' connection instead of using the 'pacsys' connection.

Anyone have any idea why? If I switch the 'mysql' credentials to the 'pacsys' database, everything works fine.
