Cool! Like the rockwork. I go for the C shape mountain structure surrounding a bit of beachfront myself.

BTW? Close the toilet lid.

Listen it took my wife 20 years to teach me to put the seat down. I've gotta drawn the line somewhere LOL!

This way I can "Filter" water and "Drain the Reservoir.

Thanks gang!

Frankie HOW in the world did it sneak past you? NOTHING gets past you bro!!

Thank you!

As of last night NH3/NH4 was at .25 so "something" is brewing in there.

I took some "quick" pix showing the Seed Rock laid in the tank in front of the base rock. Keep in mind this rock will come out in a few weeks times and leave the "Sea Floor" more open.

Can't wait to see some livestock!

Do you intend to keep a fish or two or just your favorite corals? What's the flow rate in there?

I totally agree Brandon. I can't wait either. This will be a true test to how much you can "push" a cycle and still keep it simple (I'm not ready for the new "Dosing Cycle" even though I see some of yall had great success with it).

I plan to have 1x 6-line wrasse, 1x Perc Clown, 1x Bangai Cardinal Fish, 1x Purple Lobster. The only other livestock (Other than coral) items will be a CUC.

All of these are coming from my existing tank. The rest of the fish are "Spoken For" more or less.

Thanks Emma :)

Well this afternoon I got a "shocking" phone call from my brother. I was in the middle of moving some things from the rental house and he called saying, "As soon as you can... get back here to the house!" I could HEAR something in his voice and told him to tell me what's wrong..

"Your tank is making a strange noise, I smell something burning and it keeps kicking the circuit breaker!" I had him immediately unplug the tank and I said I'd be there in less than an hour. By the time I got there (here) he had been "investigating". I had added a Hydor Koralia #1 to the tank for extra circulation. Apparently there was a "nick" in the cord and it was ARCING in the tank. What a site and sound! I guess I need to start saving up for another power head (Vortec maybe?)
