I was playing around with a 6105 in there you can see it at the back under the overflow box. Wow when they say good up to 19mm with the magnets they are half kidding! The grip is frighteningly loose... without the kickback from the pump I doubt it'd stay put! I'm going to anchor the cords much like the vortechs just in case I have some slippage.

Skimmer cup was emptied a day ago and it's half full again. I was excited to see it lighten actually hoping my rock was done dropping a deuce but it's darkening once again darn it.

Holy crap! I go away for a few weeks and miss everything. Making good process there Brett. Things are looking stellar. Won't be long now before it's full of fish and corals. Probably already asked: but are you keeping the 97g running after MR. Big is up-and-running?

Thx Lance. Wife is prodding me to transfer ASAP since she wants an xmas tree where the tank is lol. Was no room last year.

I dumped two buckets of salt into the display an hour ago

Lol rock scape...

I dumped all the rock in one spot because I have junk in the way everywhere else and my step-stool is too wide to unfold behind the tank I'll have to find a narrower one or build that sliding bench thing I had planned on. My bet at this point is a narrower stool I'm getting lazy!

Just wanted to lay it out and get lots of flow on it. This weekend's not looking good but I hope to do the scape the following weekend.

As for salt I think I used around 2.75 buckets. My kids were doing salt shots too I sorta lost track near the end!

I figured you'd get a laugh from that. I assumed you had just dumped the rock in.

Well now I'm leaving it! See how you like them rocks

I'm wondering if most people climb into the water when scaping a filled tank of this size?
