I am pretty excited. I had so many problems with this tank in April and May... and it really just sat for two months in my living room and garage, all the stuff spread out everywhere. The frustration of losing most of my fish (26 to be exact) to the stray voltage from a broken heater, to then having my tank spring a leak a few weeks later and to come home to a tank where most of my corals were lost because they were out of water and my halides fried them, took its toll.

BUT, a new leaf it turning.

I haven't been taking pictures of the process. Sorry. I will get some pics up tommorrow.

I have found new respect for plumbers. PVC is not so easy to work with. I plumbed most of my tank on my own. This was a huge accomplishment for me. I couldnt figure out legos when I was a kid. Its not the prettiest but I am happy how it came out for the most part. I learned alot from it and next time will be that much better.

I got a new sump from Ace, as well as I picked up the kalk/calcium reactors he built, added a euro-reef CS8-3, went to an external iwaki pump, adding 2 reactors that will run phosban and carbon, and a few other upgrades. ^_^

I just finished plumbing the last return pipe a little bit ago. Will try to get pictures tommorrow. I started adding water yesteday and figure I added about 50 gallons today. Only maybe 150 or so to go. I will hopefully move sand and rock from their 100 gallon holding tank thats been sitting on the middle of my living room on Friday! The fish that I have left will be so happy to get out of the 40 gallon breeder that has been sitting on the floor for months. I dont know what they will think seeing people watch them again instead of just feet walking by.

Will try to get pics added tommorrow.
