    Time to add salt to the system for a salinity level of 1.026.

    Love the stain and finish on the stand. Looks great! Awesome skimmer too. I'm using a Reef Octopus DC skimmer (same pump as the DB10i) and have found it very stable/consistent.

    Love the look of that stand! Very sleek look to the tank and stand combo. Giving away and info. on the lights yet? I am really interested to see what you use as your lighting for that tank.

    Up to my arm pits in saltwater – aquascaping. The new lay-out will leave room for coral growth and plenty of room for fish to swim around all they want.

    looking good. I have the 250 gallon DD version of that tank, and I aquascaped it very simmilarly. the extra depth makes it really easy to do islands like that. I hope that you end up loving your tank as much as I do mine. I have always liked the DD tanks, and I have no regrets with the one I bought.

    Looking good. Planning on painting the back of the tank? Black background would set that tank off well.
