Grats! Sounds like a good setup.

Just go slow and enjoy. It's a great hobby.

Looks good. And I love your lighting, where did you get your custom stand?

oh i plan on it ... my cycle time i expect to be upwards of 8 weeks ... minimum. I am not in any rush and realize the rushing = frusteration = dead tank and that is something that i don't want.

That custom stand is compliments of ziplock! LOL .. the real legs for it will be here around the 27th (or so I hope) ... i dunno ... some people love the plastic rustic look that they give off!

Welcome to the world of reefkeeping, where you never have spare money again.

I wouldn't use that tupperware there very long, it might melt depending on teh quality!

Oh it won't be there long .... i am just using it as a temporary solution for now. Am hoping to get some 2*6 pieces to use instead so some brick or rock.

I would hang the fixture from the roof, preferably on a pulley system.

That way you have easy access to your reef without getting an instand sun burn from 500+ watts of lighting.
