got the Vortech! oh sweet jesus I am in love. played around with it for a bit, got a nice wave going in the tank, but it stirred up alot of the fine sand, so we set it to random (reef crest) mode....going about 80% at most. You should see the stuff it's pulling from the rock!!

Light gets here Monday, Cleanup crew and a few fish get here Tuesday!!!!

small school of these:


aaaaand:


and this be de clean up crew!:

Oh nice wrasse! You are hilarious...this build has certainly widened in scope and budget as we all predicted!

shhhh....the MP40 was 400 bucks...

That wrasse is bad a--!....only $35 and is reef safe. I was a little worried that we might be going too fast but I tested the water before I ordered all the stuff and everything was where it should be...I guess buying dry rock has its advantages...I did see a small ammonia spike etc after the scallop, but with the addition of about 3lbs cured live rock numbers went back to normal.

Hurry up next week!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

So we figured out where the Nano will go. It's going to be viewable from front and back, makes things a little more difficult to start but in the long run will be a gorgeous tank. Have to build a small little support stand, as this will mainly be sitting on the front desk...once the build starts I'll post pictures so you'll get an idea.

Because of where it's going to be, I'm thinking two islands of live rock...lots of room for fish to move around. AND with the extra veiwing side I can cram more corals

OOOOOR...upload them from the black berry.

The tv will still stay on the bottom ledge.




lots of room for electrical goods!
