The LAST big upgrade

[michika]

Alright I've got my orders and cash ready to buy the following;

- Salt & Dry goods @ Red Coral's Holiday sale this weekend
- Dry Rock @ Eco-Reefer.com, thanks for the photos Mike, they made my decision!
- 50% of my plumbing from BRS (I'm doing a group order in early January if you want on)

Now that the tank is in place we can start figuring out all the things I was scared to do before it was assembled; light rack, and plumbing placement.

I think this is what I'll do every December, tank buying spree! Christmas isn't for me, so maybe I'll turn it into Tibet-mas?

Tibet was named by JDigital and it stands for The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank.

Catherine & Kevin, do you have a timeline in mind for a finishing date? This build is moving along almost as fast as Tony's.
That will be a sweet tank.

Wow that's really funny, clever, and witty, Greg. Have you considered doing stand up comedy? You're a real natural.

Sorry I just couldn't resist. Since I've had to start mine over again pretty much from scratch I guess I shouldn't be pointing fingers anywhere but at myself.

You guys crack me up!

We want the tank up and running/cycling by February/March, and I'm hoping for a transfer in April/May. Our goal is to complete our basement renovation by September of next year. Our tank build is slow, very slow, there is just so much work that needed to be done in the basement to get it to the point where we could do anything with it.

I did order what I hope will be the rest of my rock this morning. Between what I have cooking in my sump, and 180g system, and the 100lbs I just ordered I hope its enough, if not its enough for me to start building some of my aquascaping.

I'm in for some plumbing if you do a group order.
