first there was 50, now theres 42!

looking good, I am digging the scape so far. An ATI six bulb fixture would be stunning on this tank. Someone on 3reef just got on of their hybrid fixtures, they maybe an option.

 

thank you all for your responds! I'm going to see if they'res any deals going on for fixtures at max, and cheryl as well ill say hellow to the buckets for you! i wish i can get the rodi system but since CA is in a drought i dont want to waste water!

UPDATE 4/15/15:
cleaned the rocks up with acid, rinsed them off and dried them out, i can say its ALOT cleaner then before!
added the sand and epoxied the rocks so the only thing left is to get the water in !

FTS:

I like the over hang on the top level, and again opposite on the other side.

 

Update 4/17/15!

Water is in! I'm not sure how to cycle the tank, I put a pinch of pellet foods in there so I'll test when I get back from MAX. If not I'll throw a shrimp or some sort in there!

 

Can back from max with this... Kind of a Christmas present for me! I'll post an update later !

 

Is there enough room in that sump to allow for a power failure??Looks like its almost full.

 

Things looking good but I second Vinny comment above.

Yes there is ! That was the first thing I was worried about, on the return pump chamber the level is only about 4" now, just enough for when the tank drains everything to the sump when it's off!
