New teaser pic! After 4 straight hours of fixing small leaks from my dart, I got it up and running. Tossed the fish and rock in, and everything is looking great! Still have to do aquascaping, and put the full contents of my reef tank in there, but its lookin good! Water perameters are perfect. I still have to purchase all of my light bulbs. I'm only running the old KZ superblues (X4) and UV 10,000 K (X4). So only 8 bulbs out of 14. Waiting on some christmas money to go buy the wavepoints.

Wow that just has to have been a lot of fun. Your plumbing job is super and the tank cleanup looks awesome. Any reason you didn't go with pvcflex tubing instead of hard pvc. Just wondering if you compared cost at all ? I keep looking at all the sump options as I do not have one yet.

Yeah the flex tubing is a lot more expensive. Almost double actually. You can get a 10 foot piece of 1" pvc for $12.99, and the same length of flex would cost around $30+

I am using flex for my water changing system

So I picked up a couple goodies on boxing day! -

Big Als - Pair of pink square anthias for 187, firefish for biocube
Ocean City - new filter sock, 14 X 39W T5 bulbs (wave point)
Red Coral - 20 of them fancy 0.40 cent snails, and a Sailfin Tang

All livestock are doing great. Now my question is... Will 14 X 39W T5's be enough for SPS? Here is my arrangment of bulbs:

2 X 10,000K (Sun Wave)
2 X Actinic (Blue Wave)
2 X Actinic (Blue Wave)
2 X Pink (Coral Wave)
2 X Actinic (Blue Wave)
2 X Actinic (Blue Wave)
2 X 10,000K (Sun Wave)

Opinions on sufficient lighting for SPS? I know I have enough flow.

Updated pics. Even though I'm selling off all my corals, I am still a little undecided about selling the tank. If I can swing replacing my roof without selling it I will.
