Looks good! Great idea putting the drain into the down spout. That goes out to the storm drain, right? I hope it's not going onto your lawn (the saltwater will kill it). You will get really ugly salt stains on your driveway too if it's running on the driveway.

I see you are selling more rock after another change in rock work, did you pick up that copperband butterfly or powder blue tang at OC?

Yep got approx 100lbs now available. The copperbands weren't eating at this stage so I left those alone for now, but did take his Juv Emperor and the powder Blue he'd them since Feb 26th, great fish super healthy funny my purple tang flashed the powder blue maybe 5 times, but the PB didn't seem fazed and now they cruise together, no issues between my Majestic and Emperor of course, how's the coral beauty?

Coral Beauty and Melanurus Wrasse(not sure thats what it actually is) both fit in great. Trying to get my Kole tang and Coral Beauty to eat New Era Mini Marine Grazers now. So far they seem to much prefer eating off the rocks. What can you do.

Well here's the latest tank shot since removing a lot live rock to create more flow and swim room, next is to reduce the sand bed depth as advised by Paul from Oceanic Corals. Also increased my livestock which now consist of Purple Tang, Powder Blue, Majestic and Emperor Angel, Coral beauty, pair of Clowns, baby Hippo Tang, Orange spot sand sifter, clown goby and just added today flame hawkfish!






Starting to drag my behind a little on wainscoting finish....

Default drain

you might want to insulate around your drain from the house.it doesn't get that cold here very often but it can and freeze up your pipe and possibly crack it .better safe than sorry,

Well it's been a while since I've updated, had to deal with a family matter and my time is going to be limited for quite a while, but I have managed to get the wainscoting going and just yesterday converted to LED lighting, the pics aren't best as I took them with the dimmers turned up way too high. All in all I'm really happy with the LED's, we'll see how they perform in the long run. I've still to continue the wainscoting around the dining room, finish the counter top and fascia. Sadly my Majestic passed away.... very timid, but I did pick up a gorgeous Melanurus wrasse and a bonded pair of long nose hawk fish, they love to hangout together which is really cool seeing them side by side. My RBTA's have split again so I now have 5. Here's a couple of pics:
