Well the back of the tank is painted black.... too dark.

I have started to scrape the paint off with a razor and it is coming off beautifully. I will probably repaint it blue.... unless anyone else has a good idea for me.

I have been looking for more things needed and I am considering a Euroreef RS80 that has been offered to me by Kevotron. It seems like a good skimmer (considering the only skimmer I have experience with is a Rio Nano) based on what I have read.

I also started to plan my sump today.... probably going to make it 44x15x14 (roughly 40 gallon) this should fit nicely under the tank. Just not sure how I want to configure the baffles. For $150 a local LFS will build it practically anyway I want.

I still need to find lights as well. But in time I should be ok.

Well thats all for today. Set up in 10 days.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
