    Default Moved into new tank

    I just moved my original 40gal hex aquarium from St. Edward's U into a 40gal bowfront at my house. These are some pics:

    The original taken back in January:


    The new setup (so much more space I don't even have enough rock anymore):






    Picture quality is not very good right now and I'm still cleaning up (that's why cords are in the pic).[/b]

    The bottom three are the new setup/tank pics from different angles.

    Robert, I may just have to take you up on that canopy tools/eqiupment and crete rock soon. When will you be making the crete?

    Yeah, it's a bowfront 40gal Jebo R375. I've got a 250W 10000K Ushio lighting it but working on getting actinics for the first time. I've got a 25 gallon personally-made acrylic sump with just a Nautilus TE skimmer running in it.

    Things I'm looking at doing some time when I get rich:
    1) Make a canopy to fit onto this Jebo R375, maybe almost impossible but I'll try. I'm looking to put a 250W halide and two 24" actinics in it.
    2) Get my, free, Icecap 660 repaired along with buying or making a harness for it
    3) Get two 24" VHO actinic bulbs
    4) Make or find a really inexpensive calcium reactor
    5) Go to Harbor Frieght Tools and pick up a carbon dioxide tank, don't know what I'm going to do about a regulator or controller
    6) Obtain a Mag7 to upgrade my return pump
    7) Obtain another Mag7 for a closed-loop wavemaker, I've already got a brand new SCWD
    8 Get a new 250W 10000K metal Halide bulb
    9) Get rich!
