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.

The display tank is officially done. Concept Aquariums did a fantastic job on it. We'll be having them back soon to do our sump.

My live rock arrived from Eco Reefer a couple of weeks ago, great large shelf pieces, exactly as I requested. They were great to deal with. I now need to get some rods to start assembling it for Tibet.

I think we now have about 1/3 of our total plumbing requirements. I'm setting up a group BRS order to pick up a few more things I can't pick up locally. We're focusing right now on getting all the plumbing parts we require to do our first water test on the display tank.

I need to take some more photos.

Maybe tonight I'll get on that.

I can't wait to fill this baby up with water.

Although I do need a January FTS...
