We now have all our MH reflectors! Picked up three more Luminarc's from BlkWolfe today. They look amazing. Now all thats left to get now for the lighting is the T5 supplements, and more LED moonlights from Digital Aquatics for the Reef Keeper Elite.

I also ordered the two remaining RKE PC4s (Powerbars) we need for both our current 180g tank, and for Tibet. Hopefully they'll be here sooner rather then later.

How did you make out with the damaged skimmer/Greyhound claim?

Greyhound ended up paying out for the damages. A couple of weeks ago Kevin started to assemble his indoor workroom as its been -20 and colder for the last while. He has started to rebuild the damaged parts. So the skimmer will be ready for the big tank when its installed, and I think he plans to test it on our 180g tank soon.

Photos and a bit of an update.

Supplies




The area for the stand is laid out.


It requires prepping and priming for the cement


Matia generally made a huge pain of herself throughout the whole process of dismantling the stand, moving it, and scrapping up as much tar paper as could be done by hand. She was annoyed we made her sit on the stairs.




We also completed our shopping list for everything we'll need between now and the start of stocking. I'm now just waiting for some of these items to come up for sale, or for them to be available on the buy/sell forums.

We can also now look forwards to placing the tank order after the holidays as the stand and floor will be ready at that point.
