For the big move to our town, would you need extra things like battery operated air pumps?? I've got quite a few of them (6+), so if you need them, lmk.
I also have extra small heaters, 10' (or is it 12'?)trailer for furniture and tanks. 6' diameter pool-style tub to put everything into until you got the tanks set up...

The idea is to have his big tank up and running before he comes, but good to know just in case

thanks for the offer Lenny.....have I ever mentioned how much Canreef people rock?........ I just may take you up on that......but like Laurie said.....we're gonna try and get the big tank running and cycled with the dry and live rock that is cooking in E-town already( about 50lbs dry and 30ish lbs live).......my coral is going up and being dispersed to various babysitters in small batches each time Laurie and I visit each other....the livestock from the small tank will be going up there shortly and into Laurie's 34g cube.....the goal is to have only the rock from the system and fish to move when I finally shut the 110 down.....I will then be tank-less for a while, while I get my house moved up there......man thats gonna be weird not having a tank.....

so I have made up my mind about the lighting for the E-town tank...I had decided for sure that bulb changes would kill me on a tank that size so I was gonna go LED.....I waffled back and forth several times between the AI Sols and the Radion.....its somewhat a good thing that I waffled for so long as it gave time for people to have these units and start giving some feedback......I decided on the Radions(wallet is gonna hurt for monthes)......I been playing with one for a few days now and I am super impressed with the features and program-ability on it.....obviously one isnt enough for the 110g so I have it over the 25g.....Im thinking of starting with four for the new tank.....if four isnt enough then I will pull one off and put my T5s in the back al le Levi.....I rent so I couldnt hang the unit.....this is what I came up with with inspiration from that Mr. Salty tank dude.....its kinda ghetto but it being over the 25g is only temporary, so it is good enough for now...I used a plank of wood and a pair of TEK legs that I already had......it actually was so easy that I may do something similar for the new tank , except a little fancier










and a FTS shot of the 110g for good measure

Tank looks AMAZING under that Radion mang! Oh, wait ... um... In my defense, I thought that was just something you're supposed to say when someone posts anything about Radions.

Nice mounting work though! Funny how it makes ghetto look ... not really very ghetto at all.
