Wow Brett this thing is looking sweet!!

You werent kidding when you said it was a tight fit.

Have you figured out your lighting? Are you still looking for another Pendant & Ballast Combo?

My wife planned a bit of a surprise bday party for me tonight. Was sorta funny hobbling around the party and showing everyone my mangled hand. Hand is crazy swollen and pretty badly scraped/cut. My right thigh however is in so much pain right now. I did the right thing and I'm sorta proud of myself for saving the tank. Lucky I never broke and bones in my hand tho. I drove out to strathmore for it too so after the hassle I really wanted it!

Ryan I actually have enough 250w M80s to power 5 halides. One will be a backup as I intend to use 4 of them. I'll be buying 2 more lumenmax elites tho.

Not waiting specifically but yes most of that cash is in Strathmore now lol. Thanks again Greg hope that works for you.

My new pet arrived today! I want to thank Concept Aquatics for hooking me up with this big piece of sexy. It's the Deltec TC 2560. I'll review it once it's under a load... the new twin chamber design (hidden behind the bubbles) looks interesting.

I had to makeshift a valved end to cap the feed and toss a riser on the output so it didn't leak all over the place. I still made a nice mess before she was water-tight lol.

This is just a vinegar cleaning but the bubbles are tiny as FRAG. Can't wait to plumb this into my rock. My sump is going to be a self-contained (and over-skimmed) system for the next month or so.

Here's all the rock I ended up sourcing (about 250lbs no room for even one more piece in here).
