So FedEx paid me a visit today with a Fosters shipment.......


200 lbs. of Seafloor Special Grade Reef Sand


Enough salt mix for approx 400 gal of sea water


New refractometer to make sure it's all mixed right


I was going to go with 2 MP40's for flow but my hot water tank had other plans last week. So I'm going with these til I can save up the coin to get the Vortech's

2 Koralia 5's.....These things are a pretty good size...bigger than I thought so the MP40's will be here ASAP


Float valve for ATO and floaty glass cleaner



And finally my Freebie!!!!!!!



Yea I know it's just carbon, but it's free carbon!!!! And I will be also recieveing a FREE $15 gift certificate from Live Aquaria.com:bigbounce :makefun: :jumprope: :colorful: :bouncer:

I'll be nice......If you order anything from Fosters before March 31 2010 use coupon code 3819/2142 at check out and carbon is added for free and gift card is suppose to be mailed later.

So this didn't exactly go as expected. My life took a turn towards the crazy side and everything and everyone else has been put before me. Not that that's a bad thing cause family comes first. But just havent had alot of free time.....Anyway onto the update.


My 125 is all setup and running. I did take lots of pics. But my cheap memory card was currupted (sp ?). Anyway I was able to save a few pics and took a few of what the tank looks like now. have to DL the pics but will post shortly

By the way Eric (or anyone), one of my ballast failed. Hamilton sent me a replacement made by Lumatek. It's a dimmable ballast....150, 175, 250, and HQI. What is the HQI?

Looks like you have done a great job with this tank. I am glad to see it all up and running and full of corals and fish. Congratz!!
