July meeting at Brian's???

I wish.... Won't be in town all that much in July, but hope to actually make it to the meeting. Would like to host it once get some stuff going on in the tank though for sure!

Got the lights mounted, but still have to get all of my power situated. At least I can get an idea of what they will look like. Anyone have comments/suggestions to help with lights?

Thanks ahead of time.

 

[Chriscrna]

No suggestions. Looks spot on to me. [emoji1303][emoji1437][emoji1437][emoji1437]

Even though I'm going to have to move it out a bit to run an outlet on a separate breaker, I wanted to get it all in place to just see how it will look. I got the tint put on this am. Up next is plumbing, and aquascape. I have my design laid out in the garage on my work bench. I have few minor things to still get in place and organized prior to water but getting closer, much closer. I can't wait to finally make it to a meeting to actually meet most of you all.

Have to give a major shout out to Kinny and Parrot Aquatics for all of the expertise!

There will be a lot more questions coming the clubs way.....

Very professional looking.

Somehow missed this thread till just now. Tank looks amazing. All these big tanks are making me really want an upgrade. I wonder if I bought the wife some jewelry if I could put in a 96" ;P

You will want to refrain from creating that monster, seems they are pretty good at figuring out the coral jewellery cost ratio. Lol

Tis better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Thanks! Like Chris said, buy jewelry and ask for follow forgiveness!

Ok
Ammonia is 0
Nitrites are 0.2
Nitrates are >50

Have some good algae growth in rocks now too. What would your next step be?
When can I add clean up crew etc.?

Thanks all!
