Well everyone, I have to say thank you! I believe the tank set up is complete.
Several monetary donations, several people are shipping new stuff from premium, several donations from peoples equipment piles. WOW we WOW!
So we have:
Tank
Stand
Hood
kalk reactor
two powerheads
all the test kits
hydrometer
lighting ballasts
Even Daniel Knops Clam book!
There are only two things missing, one 55w PC bulb and a mag cleaner.
I believe the monetary donations will cover the cost of those and some salt mix. The tank will cycle for a month, and then we should be in the middle of february, and able to do an online order of clean up critters. I need a restock of critters myself so I will just get a 100 snail pack when I get mine. We have all kinds of frags. I have talked to my local clients and they are throwing some base rock in their sumps for him to compliment my live rock. Several others are fragging corals this weekend to give them a chance to encrust.
I will be watching the board classifieds for 175w bulbs over the next month so I can get him a MH set up if possible. This is going to be one rocking tank!
I cannot believe the generosity of the people here! This is just simply amazing.
I told Zack today and showed him the thread, he was litterally speachless in chat!
I want to say thank you all once again! This is an amazing thing when the sum of the parts is going to be greater than the whole!
