    Well.....the Canopy is finished, lights are wired, wires are covered for the most part, bulbs are in reflectors are on. 4 ATI Aquablue Special, and 4 Aquablue Plus :)

    Going to be re-plumbing my return baffle section that was leaking tomorrow :)

    I am planning on having this thing up and going FULL FORCE this weekend....crossing my fingers!

    (as u can see Sand is in the tank)

    Looks great. If your reds, pinks and purples look off add a Purple Plus on each side in place of one of the bulbs. The Purple Plus is supposed to be the Blue Plus with some red spectrum added.

    Well.. here is the update...I have everything ready to go...just makin the last bit of water...i'm thinkin its gonna take about another 30G to be at full running level (tank and sump/fuge). I am in the process of breaking my predator tank down at my old house, so did put all the liverock from that tank into this tank today..its pretty much just a waiting game now
