    Dude, it's much easier to just fill it within a couple inches from the top, then add the salt. Use a strong submersible pump or powerhead to mix it in, and it will clear up in a couple days.

    The problem isn't the mixing itself. The tank is no where near a water source. Even if I did do it that way I would still have to carry the water over in buckets.

    Wow, Pack--that's a great looking SPS you have on the right side island. I don't see much polyp extension, though.

    I'd like you to get on that ASAP.

    You know, I thought about it, but by the time I pulled it out of my garage it already looked like a goner ;)

    That'll teach you to keep expensive corals dry for months. Get on that too. :)

    I like what I'm seeing. The rock. The water. The sand. And the water. All look good. Picture of the plumbing?

    Haven't started on the plumbing yet. Was going to stop by HD today but ran out of time.
