    Nice looking. I've thought about putting another tank in the bedroom but was afraid of the noise. Does it soothe you to sleep?

    Rock work looks good. Once you get some coraline it will evolve like a fine wine. Born on date?

    I filled it up with water from October 11 -14 ;D, as my RO/ DI only does 75 gallons per day.... And I really dont think it even does that. On Oct 14, I put all the cured LR in and let it marinate for about a month.

    The Wet/Dry thing in the left of the sump is basically just a rubbermaid container with an acrylic picture frame with holes drilled in it to suspend the filter media from the water. I did not have a whole lot of choice with this sump b/c the stand was built around it. It is very large though and was already divided up into different sections. It seems to work well.

    As far as the ASM goes, when I started, everything I read said they were good skimmers. I did not realize they had been around so long. It seems to collect a lot of junk though.

    Looks good! You must fall asleep like a baby with the sound of the water right next to you. Add a ceiling fan and close your eyes and it will be like being at the beach......lol keep the pics coming.

    Nice! Is your rockwork stable? It looks like a few pieces are in danger of starting an avalanche. Would hate to hear about you being violently awakened to the sound of smashing glass and waterfall.

    Very nice. I put a nano in my room just to get the sounds of it to fall asleep too. You should have no difficulty with this one!!!!! Very nice tank. Get some specs up. I wanna know exactly what you have there.
