    It's good lookin rock,looks to have good stackability<if thats even a word,lol,but should make for a sweet scape,especially with the depth you have to work with now.55's are horrible for scaping due to being so skinny,a rock wall is about the best you can do.lol

    Cool, looks really nice! Love the height of the stand, trying to decide on how high I want to build mine. Looks like 31" it is!

    exactly, kinda wanting to order another few pieces so i can make little islands in it, but gonna let this grow out for a few months before getting rid of the other rock i have. Need to keep the mandarin happy with pods;) and I'm concerned enough about having the new substrate. But John at reef cleaners is hooking me up with a ton of pods to help the transition. Damn, I love that dude, lol

    Aquarium sits at 31" trim at 32', honestly, if I built a stand, I'd start it at least at 36", but I'm 6'6" so a little biased, lol

    Awesome Cosmo! Looks good, and I know you are excited. Just keep telling that RODI to get 'r done. I think I read in a forum somewhere that works :).

    I did a BE AGGRESSIVE, B E A G G R E S S I V E! cheer, lol

    yeah kinda wishing I bought a little more rock I could stack better, but that will be for the 220 up grade;) Want me a tang tank;)

    lol, thanks vin for the pat on the back, I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me;)

    Gonna get the SG dialed in today, sand in by night, get it seeded, get the DSB set up in the fuge, and let those run for about a week to let the little critters growing before I transfer over;)

    SG is at 1.026, sand is in the tank, gonna transfer some of my sandbed over to the fuge and DT, and let that run for a week or so to get my critter and pod population up and running before the final transfer;)
