BAM! I'm in. This is my lil project I've been working on for the past month. Its finally done! Took me forever and I lost a few things :( Lost my six line wrasse, i have no clue how this happened....guess maybe the water got too cold for him? Lost 7 corals too, some of which were my best color ones too. Cold nights, long work hours and me partially not paying attention I guess lead to this. Oh well, back to slowly restocking I go. Onto the good side now, the tank is running!! Only thing I have to do is raise my durso a lil bit, you can see about 1/2" of water under my canopy lid. No worries tho, thats easy to fix. Plumbing was pretty easy, no leaks so thats always a plus :) Well, time to thank some people, because without them I wouldnt be able to get this done. First off for the tank, sump and powerheads, thanks David! For many gallons of Ro water, thanks Mark!!!! YOURE THE MAN! James, thank you for letting me borrow the SEIO controller. I havnt set it up yet, but I will get to it hopefully tonight then I'll get you a response wether I want it or not. But thank you for being so great as to lending it to me :) And last but certainly not least, ALAN! Thank you sooooo much for letting me use your place to build this beast, I definately couldnt have done it without your help! Give Lisa a hug from me and reassure her its all over and she'll never have to see it again, lol. Its been a long road building this thing and we had some fun putting it together. Well, maybe it wasnt that long, **** think about it, only 2 days a week for maybe 4 hrs of actual work time......ha the rest was playing video games, lol. Lets see dont think I missed anyone, if I did I'm sorry just yell at me and I'll be sure to credit you :) Oh and dont mind the powerheads, they arent placed yet and the water level in the pics is low becuase of feeding time...yummm. Alright nuff of me blabbin, here are the pics :)

Try placing your corals in and among the rock rather than "on" the rock. You'll get a much more natrual look. IMHO

with the amount my corals grow, thats not a good idea. They would be covering everything and attacking others in no time. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

Very nice looking tank. What integral part does the coffee cup play. I don't have that feature and was wondering if I should add it. LOL
