That's one bad tank. Love the aquascape too...especially how you have it off the glass. Good work.....and just noticed you were in the stone oak area as well... :)

Thanks guys. I can't take the credit for the rock work, just the idea of not having it touch the back. If you all couldn't tell. It has mizenys signature all over it. Lolol. Thanks Mizeny. I do stay in the stone oak area. As far as livestock, I'm not sure yet I just want to keep it simple. I just like looking at it. I might just keep water, rock and sand. Lol. Once it gets cycled there will be alot of trips to fish stores. I will post more pics once I get something in it.

It comes with six 39 watt t5s. And 8 blue LED lights. No problems with heat, yet. I have been running it with lights off during the cycle period, but a chiller is in my future plans.

I was amazed of how bright the tank is with the stock lights. It's definately a great all in one tank.

ALex has helped us move several tanks, so we owe it to him. After all I am somewhat responsible for his new addiction. Remember, don't sneeze in front of the tank I don't want to be responsible for a rock slide:)
I can't wait to see it full of corals!!!!

I ordered a JBJ ATO on Thursday, should be getting it next week sometime. Hope it works. Any advice on usage will be helpful.

JBJ makes good stuff and I haven't heard of any problems with it.

Is your ammonia at zero yet?

I will test the water tomorrow. We just got back from out of town. So hopefully all the parameters are good and I can start moving my stuff to the 250.

I have a JBJ ATO, works great. There is an alarm that sounds when it is on, which is nice sometimes, other times, not so much...

Do you know if that's a good size for the RSM 250 also. I'm trying to keep everything in the stand.
