Looks great Scott, once you're ready for some corals you should come by and grab a few frags from my tank.

There is a sailfin tang. I just picked it off. It started out as a small piece from the fuge that got through the system. I found it hiding in behind the rock.

Thanks Dean. When I'm ready for corals, I'm sure you'll be the first to know. LOL!

Friend Scott. I would offer you some of my frags but, you probably won't need any after visiting Dean.

Time for some more updates. We used a small PLC to control all the lighting. The whole setup cost about $300. The PLC can be plugged into the pc and the program can changed and adapted to whatever we need. Blah......blah.....blah.....it's a glorified light timer. It controls all the halides and the 2 seperate T5 circuits as well as the moonlights. I might even do the same thing for a wave controller. I know you can buy all these things in stores but going this way can be cheaper and far more customizable. I can write the program to do whatever and whenever I want. The box hasn't been mounted yet and the receptacles are not in the wall yet so more pictures to follow. We went and purchased some strip LED's from Ikea today.......yeah Ikea. They will act as the moonlights. I looked at getting the Coralife moonlights but by the time I finished paying for the 4 or so that I would need, it was cheaper and cleaner looking from Ikea. Not sure how they will work out but it was worth the money to find out. I actually got the idea from Niloc. He used the same thing on his tank and it looked great.
