    Rough couple days but its filled and running. I had a great surprise after running the tank for 15 minutes... LEAKS! lol. In my mind i didnt think I needed to seal the drain threads to my true union ball valve since it wasn't under pressure..... nope.

    Think everything is working dry now. I tried to set up my zetlight but i miss placed the power cord. Luckily its just a computer cord so I can pick one up tomorrow and program that light.

    Projects on my short list: Build my screen tops. Organize my Wires. Return extra parts. Enjoy the fruits of my labor.

    thanks will. Its been pretty hectic getting it up and going but no drips and everything is cooking. I'll have to program the 3600 through the remote to match the color of my radions.

    Wish I had a room big enough for a 15 feet of aquarium! Awesome. Just curious, what do you use to seal the drain pipe threads to the true union?

    I'm trying to cheat a bit with Dr. Tims to be honest. So far I'll have for sure a Swissgaurd Basslet and a Blue Assessor. Locally I have access to a yellow-tailed tamarin thats eating frozen food, and a black cap basslet that I might snag up too.

    In the wings, Lineatus Wrasse, Exquisite Wrasse, Flame Wrasse, Blotched Anthias, and a Gem Tang. Maybe a gold Assessor too. Or a ton of leopards
