SirJamieson's DIY 59G Reef Build
I've been planning for sometime to put together this tank. This is pretty much my first saltwater tank. I had one before that only lasted about 6 months, but had to be taken down when I moved back out of Toronto due to a job change.
Anyways, with a lot of help from my girlfriends family, I've accomplished quite a bit already, so to start this off I should give a status update on where we are right now. I have some pics which I will post later, and some good lessons on how NOT to solder Cree LEDs  Tank: A LFS was moving so they were selling drilled tanks for pretty cheap, so I picked one up.
Lights: Ordered 48 Cree XR-E LEDs from www.reefledlights.com

Planned Stocking List The initial plan was to do a Caribbean themed tank but after doing some searching I decided it was going to be pretty tough to acquire the livestock I was looking for. So a change in plans:
I'm waiting for my Apex AquaController and base rock to come in and hopefully in the next 2 weeks we'll be starting it up.
