I'll add more of course as I get more stuff.

I'm actually leaving out of town Nov 9 - Dec 14 so here are some things I want to add equipment wise when I get back. I'll have this stuff sitting next to the tank for me when I return. (the local reef guys will be taking care of things while I'm away)

(In no particular order...)
Apex controller for temp and php (Ordering end of this week)
GFO and Carbon reactor from BRS (Waiting for delivery)
Calcium Reactor (Any recommendations?)
Auto top off system (Any recommendations?)

Anything else you think I might want?

Fish 1 and 2. Pair of Picasso Puzzle Clownfish is what the LFS had them labeled as.

Also the GFO reactor has arrived. This tank has been set up for a week as of today (Oct 14, 2013). The local fish guys (The Fist Store in Atlanta) said I was good to add fish so quickly because the rock was already used on a tank for the last 5 years. If you want more pics of anything just let me know. I'll be getting some stuff together as the weeks pass (corals etc) and I want to get that Apex ordered this week so it can come before I leave along with the auto top off.
