Thanks Jeff man , I'm trying to include as much as I can so no one gets bord of it lol if I can get off at a decent hour I'm gonna do some work on the stand but I'm fairly tapped for cash being the holliday month so not much will happen now untill January

tanks nice though eh and I can't wait to see how my lights turn out

The light ring looks nice, but it's hard to see around that MASSIVE SIGNATURE!!!

Haha thanks would you believe there was alot more I wanted but your only allowed so long lol

Really happy with the way the ring turned out I can't wait to see it in person and I have canreef and the grizz to thanks for helping me design it and come up with a moderatley cheap light route, now to try my hand at some led's

[reefwars]

So Bern thinking about the finished design and the final layout and I'm gonna try....try to replicate the " volcanoe tank" , won't be an exact replica but same general idea with rock surrounding the overflow and I'm gonna buy a rock fountain and modify the bowl to fit with some liverock surrounding it the use a small pump to let water run or trickle down .... I'm still looking at some pics and reading up on it

well hello all

today the grizz is bringing my light ring(thanks grizz) and yesterday i started plumbing my tank(thanks steve) i was short on some 90's so hopefully today i can get it finished and ready for a fresh water fill.after the freshwater fill i plan to get my sump up and running with all the liverock i have in it and let it all skim for a while to make sure my skimmer still kicks ass lol.then after the new year i plan to set up the 75g part(so i dont get busted by the tang police) and start on the 130gpart.

a big thanks to steve at red coral edmonton for ordering me the things i need next to help me get this badboy going, we have a zeo-reactor(3l) on order for january and then once thats in i will be getting the neptune system(apex) and then i will order my led's.

things im going to get right away are some new sand to cover up my old sand, im grabbing some more bulkheads today and some loc-lines,salt random things like that


ill try to post pics tomorrow as i hope to have the stand painted by then and ill have the light ring etc etc etc

So a little good news I now have my light ring and I'm very impressed it was certainly the right way to go and it only weighs around 10lbs.

Also picked up the last of my plumbing plus some salt and tonight I start washing sand I got around 200-250 lbs to rinse so that's my Christmas lol

I have a dual stage reactor for carbon that the codfather picked up for me thanks Bob I'm gonna use it to run some carbon and gfo in my 33untill it's tear down time

the only thing holding me back now is a 1 1/2" gatevalve for my herbie overflow untill I can get that gatevalve I'm just gonna run the tank as durso style for the freshwater fill

pics soon as the misses comes home from Christmas with the family
