FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY... I have talked the wife into keeping both 65 gal tank going.

Keeping my pred tank going but going to look for a little bigger one, Bow front or corner 75 or bigger. (HINT HINT anyone planning on down grading to a 65, 55, 40 tall hex, 30 that has BF or cor. 75 or bigger find me.

Converting 65 Hex to have overflow/sump with min. flow for the seahorse the wife want's ( had to give in to keep pred tank, lol).

Will have every thing hooked up & ready for water, rock's & sand by Friday, I hope. New pic's will be added as I go in my album's.

Tank is full and running, kinda aquascaped ( depends on what it looks like with coral ), sand bed down & tank is clear. Lighting in canopy is complete with 3 - 250w 14000k HM, 2 - 54w 10000k T5HO, 2 - 54w Figi Purple & 2 - 54w Actinic. I have a couple of moon light LED's but not sure what or anything they really do ( need more info ). Now I just need the boy to get his but out of bed and help me carry in the canopy.
