Finally got the RO/DI water in the tank and raised Salinity to 1025. It has been running for a few days now and the water has cleared and things look pretty good.
 I am pretty happy with the rock structures I built but the closed loop needs some modifications as the two back outlets are blasting all the sand away from the front of the tank.  I am hesitant to do the full tank move over and instead think I will cycle the new tank with a sacrificial chromis or two and see how things go that way. I just couldn't imagine moving everything and having it all die.

Looks good!
We went to Hawaii during Olympic break too! Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay! So we got to see fishies too! What are you doing for ATO? Are you still going to do it by hand? (PS.. next meeting is at your house..  )

I have been running the tank for about a month now and I am happy with how things are going. I had to adjust the outlets of the 2 back 90s of the closed loop as they were blowing the sand away from the front of the tank. I cut the 90 flush so that their stream is wider and it seems to fix things except now I get a bit too much at the top. The eruobrace keeps everything in but I might have to dial it back a bit, we'll see.
I put a Blue Chromis in about a week and a half ago and he is doing well. Ammonia and Nitrites are 0. Added my two clowns on Friday and I can say they have settled in nicely. I thought with such a larger tank they would be all happy and free like birds but they still just hang out near the overflow like they did in my 75 and rub up and down against each other. Ahh the life of a fish. I think I will try to move over the rest of my livestock next weekend and then try the corals slowly or should I just do it all at once and shutdown the 75?

I've been working on my reflectors that I have been planning on making since January 09. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=48082 This is a picture of the second one. Just one more to go.
  I went with the scattered finish but will use the smooth finish aluminum for the t5s. Joe

I've been working on my light rack the last couple of days. I am trying to come up with something that will hold 3 250s plus 4 t5s. Right now my t5s are from my 4ft tank so they will be too short unless I stagger them. I want the option of upgrading down the road to 8 36" t5s.
I am also thinking of different ways of supporting the rack. Right now I think I will use aircraft cable and suspend the rack fr the ceiling. I am trying to come up with an easy yet secure way to raise and lower the rack when needed. Does anyone use pulleys and if so how do you set the height?
