Looks mint! Can't wait to come down and take a look at it. Things always seem to look way better in person Can't wait till this one is fully stocked.

Thanx for the concern about the garden hose. The water is not in contact long enough for there to be any worries about leaching chemicals. There are many systems out there that have been filled with garden hoses and never had any problems. I'm just glad I didn't post the pictures of me bleaching the tank with Javex. LOL!

Picked up some live rock the other day from Aquatic Addictions. Trying to cycle the tank with as much rock as possible. I was thinking of using PVC structure to add some more archways. Will post more pictures of the progress soon.

This should be a good tank build! Nice looking rockwork. Do you have much reef keeping experience? What do you plan to keep in your tank?

I don't understand why you would spend all that money on the equipment and then not buy a $200 RO/DI filter for water? That boggles my mind!!!
