    Taking a drive north about a hour to pic up some rock and sand, and whatever else I need at Treasure Coast Corals.
    Can not wait for Saturday.

    Just noticed this thread... Sweet build, very slick and organized stand and sump. You must be my neighbor, lol, Riley's Reef on Center street. Where is Treasure Coast Corals? Do they have a storefront?
