Hmmm..photos are available on my screen...anyone know any solutions to this??

The extra coiling of hose allows a better connection angle to the fittings, reducing the chance of a kink. I didn't use and right angle joints in an effort to maximize current flow. Seems strange to pay good $$ for an external pump with the correct output flow and reduce it with 90 degree angles.

Time for some live rock once the lighting is up and running.

I'm still researching LED moonlights that can be dimmed or switched to recreate moon phase cycles etc...

Anyone with suggestions?

I don't have dimmable LED's, but my Solar 1000 Lighting controller runs a couple of 40W blue bulbs over my tank to the phases of the moon... uncanny really because the phase & brightness all match what is ACTUALLY happening with the moon in the night or day sky... believe me, after seeing this for the 2nd lunar cycle, I can tell you it makes your animals behave differently than just dark or static moonlights, especially at a full moon.
