Anyway, reef related....
Cube is true to its name - pure chaos right now. Since I reopened my knuckle on Monday I'm out of the tank even longer. We had a power surge and Matt had to go in the sump to fix my return pump - it spazzed out. It was stressful.
Peninsula loaded for shipment, not sure when delivery will be yet. Waiting for that call to rearrange my work schedule and try to find assistance to get it into the house that day. Tracking says the pallet is 821lbs but that seems excessive.
Plan is it unload and set up where it'll live but not fill immediately - not sure what building we're doing around it yet and want to be able to shift as needed until the bar is set. Hopeful that this will push us to get going on the bar as well - we kind of hit a plateau on house stuff lately - haven't unpacked anything new, haven't made much progress other than the shed recently. All that did was clear up the back porch more, didn't help clear out the garage at all which is what needs cleared out to start building....
Once bar is built and we're confident on placement and don't need to shift it or move it again, then I'll start filling - likely get some rock from @LiverockRocks - then once the fish can move over I'll start the berg project to clean up the cube rocks (dusky and marine betta being the main detractors for this endeavor). I do plan to move some of the cube rocks to the peninsula but I don't want to infest it and those 2 think bergs are delicacies.
Still no idea how we're doing lighting. Matt wants a canopy to protect from saltwater splash.

Believe it or not, they have better tracking than my last two rounds. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow afternoon I'm calling. I have to sort out schedule shifts for work so I need to have it scheduled sooner rather than later.
