    Cycle begins!! Rock went in, not scaped yet, and sump is hooked up! Thank god for my LFS! They hooked me all up and didn't even charge me! (they got every piece of equipment though.) Rock was placed in the tank tonight, once the water clears I'll scape it!!

    Thank you!! I'm hoping to lay out the pieces today and get started. Hoping it will clear up enough to see.

    1 plane ticket from UT to MS and I'll run up and down that ladder all day just for the chance to work on such a gorgeous tank! You can just supervise.

    Hmmm... Tank won the first round.. As soon as I started moving rock it clouded (duh, I know.. at least now I do)... So I pulled out 50-60% of the rock and topped off with RO/DI and have it filtering...

    How long will the live rock stay "live" on my living room floor? I have it wrapped in towels that are damp with tank water...

    I went with the SOL Blue LED setup from Aquaillumination(still on backorder though). I'm going to see how hanging them from the ceiling looks, if I don't like it I will build a canopy.

    I am getting close on the aquascape, pics incoming after the most recent dust storm settles.... (probably tomorrow)
