Please attach the other hoses before firing up them TLF's. This thing's looking slick man! Oh and I'm going to overlook the white pvc in the stand. |

Thanks Brett. I can finally continue now that you approve
After a busy weekend, the tank started filling last night - I started at around 1 am, and it's now about half-way full (well, when I left for work this morning). Hopefully it'll be full by tomorrow morning. So far no leaks

You lippy sumbeatch Where's our live video feed of the water going in? I envy you guys getting new tanks wet. Mine's ancient now (I'm starting to grow coraline). Not sure what to do besides live vicariously thru you guys!

Thanks to Brett's blessing, it's finally beginning. I filled it up, mixed up 130 gallons of salt water, and then tonight I plopped in my LR. Didn't take any pictures of the process, but I did anchor two of the rocks using a 3/4" masonry bit to drill through rock and 5/8" acrylic rod and just stacked things so I can remove them easily later if need be.
My inspiration was a reef bommie or island - the aquascape essentially looks like a big boulder where I'll try to arrange SPS and LPS colonies in an artful yet natural fashion. I arranged all the rock (10 fairly big pieces, around 60 lbs), and added 2 bags (80lbs) of Caribsea Reef floor grade sand, which looks really nice. The bigger size will hopefully keep it down a bit better than oolithic sand. Currently running a crap load of carbon (any residual chemicals in the water) and a phosban reactor stuffed with filter floss (for the dust). After it clears up, I'll keep the lights off for a while and run GFO to reduce and phosphates and keep the lights off. Waiting for the fog to clear....

Woo Hoo!!!! Wet Water.. lol.
I really like the looks of this scape. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you trasfer your other tank over. I see lots of room for acan and chalices, and lots of rockwork for your sps. Very nice. I am jealous.
