    How big is your fuge? It looks like it might be bigger than my DT (90 gal).

    It's 125g. I got a hell of a deal on Craigslist ($125). It was a little scratched, but for a fuge, who cares...

    If you were local I most certainly would! (I love tank set up and engineering everything.)

    Looks like a display fuge and should look even better with those new macros.

    Unfortunately I had another bad incident. My Reef Cleaners package was due to arrive Wednesday. While driving to work on Wed (about 1/2 mile from my house) I got in a nasty head-on car accident and spent the entire day in the hospital. The postal service, rather than leave the package on my door step, left a notice and I couldn't pick it up until late yesterday. Not much made it :(

    On the positive side, I had also ordered two fish from Live Aquaria and that package WAS left by Fed Ex. Even though they didn't get acclimated until about 10:00 that night, they are doing well now in the hospital tank for the tangs.

    Another update:

    I've been unhappy with my Kalk reactor so decided to make my own. I ordered the parts last night and will be putting it together late next week. Of course I will document the whole thing.

    Should be fun.
