The display tank is officially done. Concept Aquariums did a fantastic job on it. We'll be having them back soon to do our sump.

My live rock arrived from Eco Reefer a couple of weeks ago, great large shelf pieces, exactly as I requested. They were great to deal with. I now need to get some rods to start assembling it for Tibet.

I think we now have about 1/3 of our total plumbing requirements. I'm setting up a group BRS order to pick up a few more things I can't pick up locally. We're focusing right now on getting all the plumbing parts we require to do our first water test on the display tank.

I need to take some more photos.

Maybe tonight I'll get on that.

I can't wait to fill this baby up with water.

Although I do need a January FTS...

Just for you I busted out my phone after practice last night to snap some shots, and put my camera's battery on to charge. Also because my good camera would have caught too good of a reflection of my post-practice self.

Hack January 2011 FTS. Note all the bulkheads!


Start of the plumbing. Just waiting now for my BRS order to arrive with the rest of what I need.


Small sampling of the 100lbs of rock I got from Eco Reefer

I'm on the fence if I'm going to make the first one with a PVC structure, or acrylic. Although honestly I was able to stack the rock near perfectly on the floor without either, however we all know how reefing works and I'll never be able to re-assemble it in the tank in all its glory.
