Actual no, none of it. We ended up going with regular plain old glass. We debated, then it came down to a rugged competition of paper, rock, sissors (lizard, Spock). We chose plain old regular glass for its durability, and so far I've been quite happy with all of our regular glass tanks, and didn't really see the need to go to low-iron like we originally planned for.

Concept Aquariums is our builder.

House buying is a lot of fun, or at least I thought it was.

The tank has an overflow and the rest of its eurobracing. It looks fantastic, well it did at 4am today, I'm betting it will look twice as good when I'm not feeling so sleep deprived.
Concept Aquariums was/is fantastic to deal with, they also do nice work!

I'm planning to order our bulkheads and most of the valves shortly. I don't think we'll get around to much else before the end of year, I'm too tired.

Alright I've got my orders and cash ready to buy the following;

- Salt & Dry goods @ Red Coral's Holiday sale this weekend
- Dry Rock @ Eco-Reefer.com, thanks for the photos Mike, they made my decision!
- 50% of my plumbing from BRS (I'm doing a group order in early January if you want on)

Now that the tank is in place we can start figuring out all the things I was scared to do before it was assembled; light rack, and plumbing placement.

I think this is what I'll do every December, tank buying spree! Christmas isn't for me, so maybe I'll turn it into Tibet-mas?

I'm in for some plumbing if you do a group order.
