Thanks guys and gals, This has been one of the longest weeks ever. I just built the tank last Friday and I would like to put water in it. But I have one more week to go. Every time I walk by it I think I could add water, it should be fine. But I know better than anyone that I have to wait. I got a pair of tunze nano streams for it today a 6045 and a 6025. Lastlight has been kind enough to show me how to mod them, so I can get a little more flow out of them. One more week and I will have pics with water in it.

This is looking like a really nice side project. i agree that SPS does do best without mixing with softies.

Gotta love that eurobrace too! Someone does some nice work!!

See ya this weekend...I've been stocking up on beer.

Okay, I am one day early on my fill date. The tank is full of RO salt water, that I had made up this week. The new light is hung, I moved my rk lite, tunze ATO and swc extreme 160 skimmer. Here are some pictures with water, Enjoy.

I had nothing to do with it. Jay did a pretty good job on it tho.

So someone get a little impatient and got'er filled. If that's all the rock you end up with in there it's going to be bangin' once you have some good sized colonies in there.

Thanks alot, yes that is all the rock going in the tank. I would like to find a school of small fish for the tank. I am looking for something the size of neon tetras, I am not sure if that is possible with salt water?

Hey Jay, there are a couple different species of cardinals that look a bit like tetras and should make a good choice for a small schooling fish. One of them is the threadfin cardinal. There is another one, I can't remember the name of them but they are another cardinal about the same size as a tetra but with more of a candystripe pattern .. Red Coral had some in a few months ago in that tiny cube they have setup in there .. not much to go on but someone remembers what those were??

Default I think I am full

I have all of my sps moved over to thier new home. I don't think there is room fo much more. The Tank is still a little cloudy, I think it is from not enough bacteria in the tank to feed the bio-pellets. This should clear up soon. Thanks and Enjoy

How are you cutting that? With a cnc machine or a laser?

Must be nice to have access to something like that. My brother in law is in the glass business but I don't think he has anything that can do that.

Cheers,
Vic
