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.

Got the light! Overall I'm very impressed with this unit. A bulb was broken in transit...no biggie. I wanted to change them out pretty much right away anyways. Right now there are 2 "blue" bulbs and a 14,000K White bulb...pretty nice look to it. So I ordered a Powerchrome Pure Actinic to replace, which should bring out the purples and reds really nicely.

Ernie couldn't wait and went out and bought a mushroom polyp and a bicolor psuedochromis...not too impressed with him but whatever....let it aclimate and put them in the tank. The fish went straight to the back up near the over flow and I don't expect to see much of him. Silly Ernie. Camera was left at home, but I'll be sure to bring it in tomorrow so I can take pictures of what's coming tomorrow too!

EDIT:
Finally ordered filter socks too...silly me.

Also, had 2 no shows for tattoos, so no coral ordered today either. phooey

IMO your going WAY to fast. Slow down.

your tank has only had water in it for 10 days and your already putting fish in it?

alot of stuff (besides the small order of macro rocks) came from an established tank. Got seed rock from an established tank and another 5lbs or so live sand from an established tank. Tested water parameters, saw a spike (after I threw in a scallop) and watched the levels return to normal.

Also using Seachem Stability...which I know some people say is snake oil, but it's worked for me in the past....

So far everything is looking good...fish are actively swimming, CUC is actively cruising the tank...
