Well, everything is moved over into the tank. It took me longer than I would have liked, and some of my coral spent much too long without light and so are a little unhappy with me. I'm pretty sure everything will perk up, except for a green birdsnest mini colony stn'd on me so I fragged it all up.

The tank is still a little cloudy, and I'm finding that the return is putting a few micro bubbles into the display.

Here she is, being scandalous and showing what's under her skirt.

The frag rack is in it's temporary home, and I will throw it in the refugium where I will hopefully have a mini frag/refugium tank. I'm curious to see what this guy does, and if it will grow any of my frags. Time will tell

I also picked up a Reefkeeper light, and am pretty happy with how it is working out for me. It may not be as fancy as some controllers, but golly it is much cheaper! I may look into adding more expansions, but for now it will do.

This picture depicts quite well one of my my pet peeves of my new tank: Koralia cords. I was pretty happy when my partner told me that I "needed" to get an mp40 for the tank. So that will be the first big purchase for this tank.

I'm only about 25% pleased with my aquascape, so it will have to change. I am looking into maybe drilling the rock and creating more intriguing structures, rather than two little mounds. Any suggestions to aquascape? I have fair bit more live rock kicking in my sump, that I could add or take away certain pieces.

To do list includes:

Hanging the light fixture.

Changing the 'scape. (just want to let everything settle in a bit before I start mucking around)

Mounting the corals.

Fixing the microbubble problems.

And probably some more I can't think of.

Lookin good so far man

I agree with your partner though.......the cords have to go...lol as for the aqua-scape maybe a 2 island look? I think that would be sharp in there.

Thanks Chris, and Jon.

So I got a little bored, and I aquascaped the tank. A little bored is a giant understatement. Here's the proof:

But what about the stuff that lives in the live rock, even...
