    Well, I was having an issue with Walmart and trying to get a refund back. I got great news today and got my refund and used it to order my live sand and rock from Marcorocks today. It should be here by tuesday and then I can start my Aquascape. I also did a leak test on my tank and all was good. I am so glad to be able to get the cycling process started soon.

    yay!! glad to hear that. I've actually never "not had" some sort of fish set up since I was 7 or 8. I know it's so much fun getting ready to put it all together. Keep us updated with pics!

    Will do oldfishkeeper...
    No, it was on some pictures that my family had taken at Picture Me Studios, which went out of bankrupt 2 weeks afterward. The studio was in Walmart and I read a website that said they would honor the receipt. Getting my refund was actually harder than first thought, but it is over now and they gave me a 50 gift card on top of it. :p

    Anyways I have a question.
    I got 2 800 gph wavemakers for my tank. Will that be enough movement in the system, or to much? I have them placed on each side of the the tank and they are aiming at each other. Is that good placement?

    yay!! you're on your way! I just reread the thread and with all due respect to Ryan :) I have a hang on filter and hang on skimmer and am keeping many corals (only 1 sps at the moment). Just thought I'd mention that.

    I got my scape done tonight. I have room for more rock which I may get live rock for it. One of my lights fuse is blown, so I placed one in the middle and took a picture.

    How do you guys like my rock stacking? Lol
