Thanks! I can't wait for it to be cycled, let alone stocked..

I'm not actually using that skimmer Mike.. That's just where I put it for "storage". I'm getting one of the Reef Life Support System skimmers actually. Unless I get impatient and pick up a Reef Octopus XP1000sss. Either way, it'll be an improvement.

MOVE IT!

Sorry Brett.. my reef budget isn't endless with this tank. I got 2 big purchases left.. Skimmer, hopefully next week, and lights. At this rate I'm looking at T5's for one simple reason.. CHEAP(er) than LEDs (initially). Hoping to find a 36" 4 or 6 bulb unit. I really don't need lighting during the cycle, but the skimmer sure would be nice.

Also need to track down some Zeostart3... Concept and Oceans are both out of stock.. Does Golds sell that stuff?

I got it salted and heated last weekend. 1.026 @ 25.3'C.

Changed my aquascape too as I wasn't thrilled with my previous layout. Still not sure about this one. What do you guys think?

I think it looks great, but you should take the day off and enjoy your HAPPY B-DAY

looks great Josh! So what's your bday present to yourself? :-)

All I'd do is remove that top rock so your sticks have room to stretch out otherwise looks great.

I know all about building when budget allows. But you still need a few jackasses on you throughout the process to liven things up =)

Ah! The one part of the site I rarely see or check on.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm not really sure. I still need to get my skimmer and lights, and a bottle of Zeostart3 so I can start the cycle. I will likely swing by Concept tonight after work and see what they have kicking around.

See I was thinking about moving that rock, but I really don't have anywhere else in the tank to put it. I like having that canyon-esque looking between the left rock and the right, so bridging that isn't really an option. I suppose I could toss it into the sump, but that one rock would fill my entire fuge area. haha I might try it tonight, see what it looks like.

I'm always up for some jackassing. Hmmm wrong wording?
