Murdoch's 160G Tank Build

[doch]

Well, I got home today to find the goodies that I ordered from my boy Steve at Red Coral E-town sitting in my living room! WHOOHOO!! I FINALLY have a successful bulb placement in my 10 of 10 slots. I broke 3 bulbs on the way to this moment (actually, I broke 1, my dog broke 1, and my buddy broke 1 - unbelievable)... thankfully this one made it! I received my new dart/snapper hybrid.... can't wait to get the new sump so I can hook it up. My zeo rocks are here... and this time I'm doing it right!! 3L of rocks, and now I've done my homework... should work out well this time.
AND>>> I finally got my tiger shark magnet.... WOW!!! I absolutely love it! The biggest mag float doesn't even compare! Well worth the price!!! You know the corners of the tank the the mag float doesn't touch??? This one annihilates the gunk in there. I also got a Sea Hare which will be a temporary bandaid fix for the hair algae, and 20 or so snails... I think that there are 10 Nasarius, and 10 Turbo, but I didn't actually count. This will get me on track to algae reduction while the Zeo is kicking in... I hope.

Anywho... Parameters are: PO4 - 0.00, Ca - 348 (I attribute this to operator error on the hanna... yesterday was 442 I think), and 162 ppm/~9dkH. She's coming around... and I'm feeling much better about this sometimes stinkin' hobby!!

Oh... and I'm having an after work drink with my fish. A beer for me, and a shot of Vodka for them!
