Any updates?

Lol I'm living through you right now didn't I tell you?

I have finalized my purchase list. I need to survive taxes, my wife's upcoming unpaid maternity and hopefully hold onto my job. After that we'll see. So no updates here until at least june or july I think.

Ha! And here I am going slow to try to pick up a few more tricks from your build I really wish I had caught your stand leveling method sooner.

I also have to think about my job right now and hope I can find a new one after my contract ends in July. Ugh...taxes...I forgot its that time of year

Lol!

I'm currently clinging to my job and stockpiling every extra penny I have. Trust me you'll know when I'm through with this phase. My tank won't see another cent until markets turn around.

ReefGeek came through for me! 6 ATI Blue+, 3 ATI Aquablue Special, 2 ATI Pro Color, 1 GE 6500K.

I really need to learn how to shoot what my eye sees it's crazy hard! The first 3 pics show the overall color/look pretty acurately but not nearly as intense and bright as it is. The last pic displays the rocks and interior of the tank very close to how bright it is.

Anyone have tips for me? I used my rock to set my white balance but my eyes see the tank lit very bright and also the distinct colors of the tubes. My camera can't see it all at once under my control...

What's left on the list for the rest of your build?

I'm waiting on a pair of drilled 33 gallon tanks to wrap up my water-change station in the adjacent office. Will post pics once they're plumbed in.

Remaining items:

- ro/di
- 2 x tunze 6105
- profilux with doser (doing 2-part or balling)
- heaters
- test kits
- salt
- 2-part supplies

I figure I could use my old seio 620s and dose manually for a while so the ro/di and heaters would get me started with water I guess. I've waited quite a while now so I may just leave it empty until I have everything on my list.

Awesome build. I love the stand. Very well thought out build.
