    That's a pretty looking tank. It's coming along very nicely.

    The beautiful thing about all that light is you can mount it high and not ruin your top down line of sight. It's going to be lovely.

    Hope so, thank your for the words of encouragement.

    Refractometer is out for delivery today, and I pick up water jugs and some cured rock today. Making progress, it will be a whole different tank with some light.

    The tank looks so much bigger than it is, I love the edge look. I can't wait to see it with some light. The combo your going with is gonna be impressive.

    :D Well it's day 14.

    Honestly I am crabby because I dreamed about controllers and LED's and fish tanks all night long, I kid you not.

    Boy this hobby test your patience.

    Today.

    1. Rack for the Hydras comes, lights go up and controller goes on line.
    2. Innovative marine skimmer, Is no longer producing micro bubbles and now producing skim,,,,Thank you member you know who you are. Perfect foot print for tank size.
    3. Heater comes.
    4. Rack for ATI begins build.

    Ordered Mag float, Controller fluid for Pro Refractometer, still going to go with Two Little Fishes parts and A/B again. Going to look at the nano bio-pellet reactor.


    Last but not least

    Looking seriously at on -line corals and anemones, no fish for a while though.

    Will update with images maybe tonight after I get lights up..

    Out for delivery I love that phrase.

    The rack is satisfactory, needs a little structural re-enforcement. Fixture needs to go up 3 more inches. Nice shimmer. Setting up the controller is proving be a little challenging but I will get it worked out. This will work until I finish the rack for both the ATI and the Hydra to sit on.

    We have light.

    Oh and getting images of LED lighting is a little different. When a poster says it does not look like that in real life I now understand. There is not the same shading in the tank as shows up on the image.
