Wow, when you setup a tank, you sure set it up. Speedy Gonzales!!!!

Looking good though, even though it may be a little too fast. But again, aren't we all a little that way. It's hard to be patient in this hobby.

tell me about it. If this tank were at home, I'd definitely be taking more time with it...but because it's in a shop it's gotta be setup quick. I've been dosing daily with Seachem Stability...like I said, some people say its snake oil, but I've been using it for a couple years, either in tanks of my own or when I would setup/maintain tanks for others. One particular client (extremely wealthy...it was rediculous, had to sign a waiver etc saying I wouldn't ever tell names, or location of the house) had a 600 gallon in the bathroom (yep...bathroom) that they switched from a freshwater Amazon themed tank to a reef....took about a week to tear down and then about a week with just rock etc and Stability while I installed lights and ther gizmos....I think it was around the second week I added a school of Chromis and some other fish...tank was completely stocked fish-wise within about 2 months....do I reccomend it? no...but I guess when money wasn't an issue for them they didn't care...never lost a fish...but went through damn near 1 jug of Stability a day...Jug, not the little bottles hahahaha

ah well.

Well that is great and all but where are the pic how about a pic of the crew standing besides the tank....

EX Canada GIRL.....:biggrin:

haha fine...I'll work on getting a FTS and group shot Monday when I get over this flu

everything looks great, can't wait to see it with corals in it. What is your full bulb line up?

front to back
Aquablue+
14K
Aquablue+
Powerchrome Actinic

will probably switch out one of the blues for another daylight bulb in the near future though

havn't updated because frankly, I havn't seen the tank in about a week. What I thought was the flu and an ear infection has turned out to be a severe case of strep throat. So I have been out of commision for the last 4 days. But from what Ernie has told me, everything is doing good...I hope to be well enough to be at work tomorrow, so I'll be able to grab an updated FTS shot then

I hate strep throat! Get well soon.
