Here is a pic of the "new" tank, which also happens to be my old tank. The rock is a week old and curing nicely. Daily water changes to keep the NH3 down, Euroreef in tank to remove nasties.
My favorite part of this "downgrade" is not needig a ladder to get in my tank!!

Thanks all. I took me a whole summer to build the stupid thing!!

Jamie, any idea where I can get some nice frags to seed it with?

Christy, what's this talk about a sump? These skimmers go in sumps? Hmm, that'll look better than in tank, I guess. (Sump is still being re-baffled to suit my needs, it's a 33g, so not much room.)

Brad,

The tank looks good... I like the canopy and stand. Going without a sump or sand bed heh? Maybe you'll start a new trend!

I like the aquascaping too..

Hi Brad, it may take you the summer to build it, but the spring to fill it. Regards Ken

Well that's great looking start after all you have been through
I have preyed to the reef god's for ya Brad!
I'm sure I could donate a few sps frags, I have purpletip bottlebrush growing like mad and I'm sure you would like some of that bright green acro back too

Hey! maybe Tony should move this post to the newbie forum

Rich, that isn't funny, I actually find myself asking beginner questions again!! And since I haven't had a tank running properly for so long, I guess I am a newbie!!!!

I think I have lots of frags, I just need to find them. They're all visiting friends right now, but by May or June, it should be SPS ready. Maybe sooner!
