Well I finally poured the last bit of RO/DI water in and flipped the switch! The skimmer has been breaking in since last Friday (and other than some loud noise initially it is working awsome so far), now the water is circulating from the sump to the main display. Had a slow drip start up again at one of my bulkheads ARGHHH! But a quick tightening took care of it. I have 60 lbs of dry eco rock from BRS on order and it was supposed to show up today but the holidays probably slowed down the shipment. I am looking to supplement this with some live rock once set up.
I put an order in with Kevin at RC for a Sunglight Maristar MH fixture. It's a 48" with 2x 250 W MH and two T5 lights and Galaxy ballasts. This should come in shortly in the new year I am going to place it on the tank with a bracket. I will also pick up a couple of Koralia 4's for flow.
Oh well its time to head out of town for the holidays so hopefully this tank will be up and running by end of January.
