    I have the lights inside, hence the brightness.. the sand is in a bucket, my sump is set, and my fish are swimming with joy!! haha

    Although you beat me on the rocks, I will have my fishies in there before you know it.. ;D

    Yes I do.. Ill take my 2 clowns and royal gramma into the tank right away. after a week of good levels I am going to buy a 2-3 inch blue tang. After a week or two Ill buy a small sailfin tang or one spot foxface. Im not really worried about over stocking since Im buying a big skimmer and upgrading when I finally move into the house I bought in Houston. I already have the wall and adjoining closet picked out and set for my 200.

    I think the fishies are becoming a problem. haha

    Looks good bama. Have fun with the upgrade(s). Sounds like a great stocking list. I really liked my 75. A real nice size. Big enough to have some decent stuff, but small enough that the maintenance is fairly easy.
