I got it set-up for the most part, still arranging the rockwork a little and need to set-up the second return pump.    Also will be making a slight change and adding a durso standpipe kind of thing to reduce the noise from the drain.

haha, no, everything was a breeze, just took a long time.  I still have to add the sand to the tank, but Ill do that tomorrow.  I may also re-do some of the rock work and push it towards the back a little more.

So, I still didnt get the sand in the tank simply because I got a new car and its been a blast to drive.  Yesterday I got 7 blue-green reef chromis' and they are schooling and eating.  Ill also end up getting another fish or two, but still have to decide what I want to get.

So, I finally got around to taking some pictures.  The water is still slightly cloudy since I added the sand yesterday, but youll get the idea.

For Flow I have 2x SEIO superflow pumps rated at 1000gph



I also ended up getting 7 blue-green reef chromis, but one died and my starfish ate it, so now I have 6.  I may still get 3 more.

It is hard to see them, but they are there.


I finally got around to counting how many heads are on this frogspawn.  Over 20.  About a year and a half ago I got it with only 3.



Here is the plumbing on the right hand side of the tank.



When moving the tank around, I discovered coral I didnt even know I had, like this orange ric.



Overall I feel as though there is a good amount of flow in the tank and everything seems to be open and doing well.



'

On the right hand side of the tank shown below, I hope to add a few more large pieces of LR in the back and make the right rock column a bit taller.
