My drab and boring tank is now bursting with life. I like to think that the school of Blue streak cardinals was the key, the dispar anthias hang out with them and all the other fish seem to swin in their proximity. I'm finally starting to feel like this long wait is worth it. Still missing a few key pieces but they'll show up shortly. Sorry about the colors in the photos - not sure how to get it less blue.

Stock list so far:
9x Blue Streak cardinals
7x Dispar Anthias...

Ok, here is a combination of 400 lbs dry rock and 400 lbs liverock. The sump is up and running too but the first pic doesn't show the skimmer.

Added a little more water and put in the rest of the dry rock (currently at 400lbs). Many thanks to Elias @ caco3reef.com for the nice rock. I'm gone for the next three weeks so I'll re-arrange the rock work then as well as add nearly 400lbs of live rock to it. Lots of live sand to add as well.

2nd pic shows two snails - one on the left and one on the right making tracks in the sand. Also seen a few small bristleworms in the sand through the glass, excuse me, acrylic. It'll take...

We are on a well in our new house so in fear of draining it (also slowly filling a 2000 gal pond) it'll be done over a few days.

Day 2 - Filled to nearly 300 gal, mixed salt, install a few powerheads and filters, added heaters to get temp. up, added enough sand to just cover the bottom, and mixed in some chemicals.

Day 3 - Added some more mixed water, added some live sand with a few critters, added 200 lbs of dry rock, and gave the front a once over with my new Tiger...
