Looks like it's coming along nicely, I like the blue background :thumb:

Ya, I like the blue too. I'm doing blue on my new tank. I haven't had a blue tank in a decade at least. I was actually considering white too...hmm.

white is in interesting one! Haven't seen that yet.

NEW UPDATE 11/08/2011

Tank is in the house now with the stand. The canopy has to be modified now because I decided to go Metal Halides instead of T5's. So the canopy isn't tall enough for my monster fixture. I will have to modify it.

I also have got a couple more things for the tank. I got a used Euro-Reef RS250 Protein skimmer (this thing is huge!). I also got a Schuran Jetstream 1 calcium reactor with C02 tank.

My temporary light fixture was purchased as well from Black Phantom during his tank shutdown. Its a 3 X 250W halides with PFO ballasts, and 4 X 65W Actinic PC's with workhorse ballasts. This will change eventually, as I will retro T5's instead of PC's.

So now I still need to get my sumps drilled and baffled (which is harder than one thought to find someone to do this for me...)

And then I start plumbing the tank through the wall! Yay!!

Lookin good!!! is that fixture a DIY or is that the way it was made somewhere?

I know its not DIY, but the fixture looks pretty old. I'm going to use pendants anyways, so that fixture will eventually be garbage.

Here's the frag tank in the fishroom. It's housing some live rock that I couldn't fit in the 70 Gallon holding tank.

Wowzers Mr. Fishy! what pendants you going with? how are you doing on rock by the way? I got some over here that is doing nothing, you can have it for a beer or two if you want, I think there is about 20ish lbs here.

Road trip to Red Deer Mike, I would drill them & put in baffles for ya :biggrin:
