Today we are in the process of making water.
I went out last night to the LFS and picked up 80lbs of LS.
While the tank was dry, I went ahead and placed the 80lbs of Reef Bones that we purchased in the aquarium to see what I could come up with for scaping. I know I want some caves and valleys so, this is what I came up with after about an hour of moving the rock in different spots.
Mark broke up one of the pieces and then I decided to keep the rest whole.
The rock came in 4 pieces, 20lbs each.
Can't say I was pleased with the shapes we got but, that's what we get for shopping sight unseen.

I am going to be picking up more LR at the LFS to help seed this rock. I'll make sure to pick up some interesting pieces to add.

We have an Aquatec Pressure Boost Pump attached to our RO/DI which helps make water a little faster than we normally could.
I would say the tank will be filled either by late tonight or at least by sunday morning.

Here are a few pics of how the rock looks for now.
