    The first picture is a shot of the tank from inside the livingroom. The second picture is of my 3 dog faced puffers in front of the tank ;)

    Well got the following today

    1. O-ring for my leaking RO/DI unit (thanks coralife/central pets for shipping that to me for free even though i am not the original person who purchased the unit)
    2. My IceCap660 Ballasts both came
    3. I picked up my holding tanks for the RO/DI and Saltwater.
    4. My glass baffles (chose to go 10" to 12" to 10"), and I put the first one in (first chamber is HUGE because the skimmer, UV Steralizer, and 500W Heaters have to go into it.

    Debating on how big I want to make the fuge...I think i'm going to go fairly short (8-10") and the tank is 18" wide....this should give me plenty of room for the DSB and about 40 or so planted mangroves (have them at the old house already) and in the same chamber I'm going to grow (or try to) Chaeto...any thoughts on that plan?

    One more baffle to put in, decided to go with an 11" long 18" wide fuge...this should give me plenty of room. Sand supposed to be available this weekend. My RO/DI unit is running like a champ, gonna start making water probably Thursday...Hopefully be able to start filling this bad boy up Sunday-ish:victory:
