Default Othicx's 220g

Before i even heard of this site i bought a 220g tank that i was going to aquascape as a freshwater tank. The day i went to pick the tank up I walked in the door and saw a sweet saltwater tank! This was the first saltwater tank i had seen in person (at least in the last 10 years). It was stunning! Right then and there i decided i was going to do SW. So a month ago I went into Calgary to check some shops out and while at Ocean City i was told about this site and let me tell you it has been a blessing Anyway here is a pic of the tank.



I got in touch with Grizz here in Red Deer and he has been a big help with drilling and overall tank layout. Thanks Grizz. I also have had a lot of help from Seamazter, who has sold me some equipment for a great price!
As of now here is what the tank is looking like, and also some shots of the equipment i have.











Now i have also ran into a guy here in Red Deer who is not a part of canreef, He has hooked me up with some great equipment and super awesome prices. I bought a MH light fixture with 2 T5 fixtures that attach to the main MH body for $200. He then proceded to give me a test kit, 30g tank with a filter/skimmer combo and a heater for free!! So i am planning to use this 30g as my hospital tank.
I purchased so LR today and have put some of it in my 30g tank and the rest is being stored at Grizz's place (thanks again Grizz). here are some pics i have taken of the 30g as it sits now.



Here are some of the things that i have found in the rock









This is all i have so far but I'll keep you all updated

Thanks for looking
