    Tuesday the 23rd. Kind of a nice thing to be doing for Christmas.

    Thank you 2in10, I hope some day you might jump back in. :)

    , nice to hear that about the lights. The reviews have all been favorable. I am resisting the urge to somehow attach the ATI 24 inch 4 bulb T5's to the Hydra 52, hmmmmm.:eek:

    , there is no doubt that we are nutty. I took a non reef best friend with me to Fishy Business. She told me " Cheryl once you guys started talking about pumps, lights....rock I never understood another word". Yup we speak a funny language.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement Mindy. I sincerely hope I can follow a plan. It's hard to resist just buying corals to fill a tank.

    , you're doing just fine with your tank. I need to learn a couple new things..I take notes from you guys.

    Yes! I may be more excited than you. Your previous tank was my nano inspiration.

    Can't wait.

    My buddy has the AI. Great color.

    Thanks. Its coming together.

    Good, nice to hear another nice review of the Hydra 52.

    I do not know Kevin I am big time excited.:p



    So tank is now physically sitting on stand. Awesome. The stand was a mild pain to put together, these manufactured ones always are, but it looks sharp and matching now that it's done.
    I worked on the rock scape today, I actually like it, looks sharp. Now just to bond it all together.

    Leak test tomorrow. Yahooooooo

    Edit: Oh yeah the tank is only 9 inches deep, how cool is that.
