Surge - Take 2 :)
08/17 FTS:
 07/26 FTS:  06/23 FTS:  Ok, Before I cheese off the goddess running this contest  Let's get this thread started  Custom tank - unlimited budget Here's the tank design:  It's been built and ready to go for a while... Sorry - it's still in the basement storage room... The fiance thinks I should be concentrating on the wedding details (eek less than a month!) at the moment! Christie said no water until the 15th - so haven't been playing with the CSD while waiting for this day to come, Thus I need to get off my tookus get the daily stall eliminated... Basically will be going ahead with the planned tank from the previous contest - with some changes; where it wasn't allowed Tank will be connected to a Carlson surge (~3g capacity) using a 5g sump. Lighting - will be a work in progress Likely going to be using about 15w of LED lighting - no budget so why the heck not go for broke?

Actually they got drilled for 1" bulkheads - one of these days I'll stop going 100% overkill on everything

Hey Andy,
You might as well put water in it, I think Randi already jumped the gun anyways, I was just reading her thread and it sounds like her tank is already cycling through a diatom bloom.

Its my own fault, I thought it would go the way of the last contest. You know where everyone started their threads with a pic of their empty tank with something in it (like a beer can or a cat) and then progress from there.
My own fault for not stating it. Let the games begin! Sorry for the hijack Andy

I won't lie, I had water in by the 5th
... I totally forgot about the no water rule, and I bought the stuff and had no where to put the rock.I will hold off with the livestock for an extra 2 weeks to even things out. I was planning this anyhow, but this way I have a reason

LOL - actually no budget allows me to do things in stages... Plan is actually to get the arduino reef controller onto this tank (that'd really blow a budget) - if I had to account for everything It'd be a very messy tally sheet...
