so you all told me this would happen :P when i set up my fluval edge
and here it is my 50g tank .... i don't know too much details on the tank ... its used bought it from some canreef members in Calgary ( Thanks again Jen and Jay ! )they were kind enough to drive the tank to Edmonton and drop it at a buddies house until i could find someone with a big enough vehicle to drive it home to me ....... it was a long wait !
but its here now and its been cycling for about a week !
i got all new bulbs and my marco rock from Steve at Red Coral i have live rock and some sea weed on hold at a friends house here in grande prairie so when the cycle is done ill add the goodies to my sump
here are some pics
just unloaded

Read about it on line decided i wanted to try and figured it would help my cycle along ...there is also some raw shrimp chunks in there too
