He is a new transplant, pic was taken only a few hours after being in the tank and then my retard of a orange spot goby decided it was a rock and preceded to try and move all the sand out from under it.

oh that makes sense then it is just spooked just looked kind of funny in the picture.

I finally broke down and re did the rock work over the last 2 days. Added loc-line to the returns from the closed loop, so now each return has 3 return ports and I must say I really like the flow now.

Bought a very gently used Snapper return pump for the main return. Going to take out the 1200 gph pump and put this in it place.

Also pick-up a NextReef MR1 reactor for NP Pellets but don't have enough pellets left in my TLF 150 to put in service just yet.

Next items on the agenda is a controller and some new lights. For the controller I am either going with a GHL Proflux 2ex that Ken @ BWA has or the ReefKeeper Elite. I must do a little research on the Proflux first. As for the light I am almost certain I am going to go back to MH with 2 - 48" fixtures, each fixture has 2 - 250w MH 15,000K bulbs, 2 - 54w T5 that I will put in either some KZ Coral Lite or UVL Actinic White bulbs. the fixtures also have 3 dual moon lights each.

Once I have the light's I will have to finish the canopy of the tank as my wife wants me to put a shelf above the tank just below the picture that is hanging on the wall.

So here is a FTS as of today not TOTM worth but doing my best, picture quality is crappy because I had to use my iPhone, wife's camera in the shop and I suck a photography.

Enjoy and I hope to get more done over the holidays and update again

hey greg if you ever decide to go with some more power for halides i have 4 400w pendants/ballast/reflectors for sale:)

Thanks Denny but I think the 2 - 250w MH will be more then enough for my depth of tank.

Looks great, I particularly like the end shot looking down the length of the tank. :)

Thanks Tony it is a work in progress isn't it. :lol:

A few new additions to the reef in the last week or so.

Added a Powder Blue Tang, could not help myself when I went in to Blue World and seen them. So nice and heathly and eating well. He is a little stressed out for the move but is doing great eating good and out in the open. Picked up another Bangii Card as well, here's hoping I get a mated pair as so as they find out each other is in the same tank:lol:.

Added a McCorsker's Flasher Wrasse from Red Coral Edmonton as well as a nice blue Crocea clam, thanks Steve. Was a little worried about the Flashers Wrasse yesterday when he was just hovering kind of stuck to the overflow. But today when I fed the tank there he was happy and eating great.

Stopped at Aqua Marine ran into Doug and Laurie (what a cute couple those two are) and wouldn't you know it but a little green brain followed me home.

Still have to put the MR1 and the Reeflo Snapper into service and pick-up my GHL Proflux 2ex controller yet plus order my new light's but it is all coming together once again.

Pictures will be coming soon as I get a new waterproof camera.

Greg, If you are getting a Profilux you need the T5's I have and Dimm2 Power bar I have. Dimmable T5's are Frickin AWESOME!!

It's 2 (2x54watt) ballasts with waterproof endcaps and 4x 48" ice-cap reflectors. It might mean building your own rail as opposed to a fixture and mounting a couple of MH reflectors, as opposed to an enclosed fixture but the result is well worth it.

Let me know if you're interested and we can hammer out a price!

That could be interesting. I am looking at getting 2 new fixtures that have 2-250w MH and 2- 54w T5's. I was talking with Steve at RCE and he gave me a neat idea to use 2 of my existing fixture with color only bulb like actinic, Fiji purples and such to add some different color spectrums.
