I'll post more photos as things progress.

Looks Hot!!

Love the Stand! Your brother must be a real good guy,

Yeah great guy but I think he maybe making a critical life mistake by getting out of reefing.
Soul searching is in order!!!

Your pics have disapeared...
I was able to see them before though. Set up looks good. I did notice alot of extra tubbing coiled up under the tank. What is that about?????

Looks like it is time to stock.....:biggrin:

Hmmm..photos are available on my screen...anyone know any solutions to this??

The extra coiling of hose allows a better connection angle to the fittings, reducing the chance of a kink. I didn't use and right angle joints in an effort to maximize current flow. Seems strange to pay good $$ for an external pump with the correct output flow and reduce it with 90 degree angles.

Time for some live rock once the lighting is up and running.

I'm still researching LED moonlights that can be dimmed or switched to recreate moon phase cycles etc...

Anyone with suggestions?

Not showing for me when I veiw with IE, but works with Firefox. :)

Looks good.

Photos work fine for me in IE. :wink:

lookin good
 

Looking good reefslave. Hope some live rock comes in soon to see the rest in action. Too bad about your brother getting out of the reef hobby...must be going through some difficult times in life....

Found Rock
 

:lol: Thanks and I found a bit o rock.
Now I have to make it look good while curing

I don't have dimmable LED's, but my Solar 1000 Lighting controller runs a couple of 40W blue bulbs over my tank to the phases of the moon... uncanny really because the phase & brightness all match what is ACTUALLY happening with the moon in the night or day sky... believe me, after seeing this for the 2nd lunar cycle, I can tell you it makes your animals behave differently than just dark or static moonlights, especially at a full moon.
