I think that I'm going to go with Anthias for my schooling fish. I saw some gorgeous red hybrid Anthias at the LFS yesterday but they definately...
I got to use my eBay refractometer for the first time today. It was very satisfying althought my first batch of water was only 1.020. I'll have to up...
I concur:) My R/O unit is churning away. I should have another 200 gal by Saturday afternoon. 60 lbs of live sand added to the DT tonight....
I've been thinking about how much I miss your Puffer avatar.
I put the first 200 gal in before the sand. I'm still trying to decide whether to put the sand in before or after the second 200 gal of water.
Definately don't need light. Probably best to avoid it as a matter of fact so as to not encourage algae growth. Chemical filtration and mechanical...
I've got water in the tank!!! The first 200 gallons at least. I have pictures but I'm not posting them yet since ==Jwin== jacked up my thread I...

There's plenty of ammonia in urine. It would work fine to kick off a cycle.
Well, it's not neon pink. [IMG] Besides, it coordinates with the bright green plastic plants that I got.
Do you think it needs more? I think that I'm about done in the main tank. I have more than 100 lbs of coral left over but a lot of that will land...
Thanks;D The tank may be wet as early as tomorrow. I'm definately getting a little itchy. I've got 160 lbs of Bimini Pink live sand sitting in the...
Ask and yea shall receive... 2 more shots from the front (slightly off angle) I put a Coke can in each shot for a bit of perspective. [IMG] [IMG]

Much of the rock is just dry stacked and I worked to find pieces that would lock together naturally. Some pieces were so big or so wobbly that I...
A couple of shots of the first layer going in. [IMG] [IMG] Of course the rock is going directly on the bottom of the tank so that I don't...
