Nick, haven't had a chance to get em in the tank yet. I'm just following the lead of my idol reefer, Marko9, and collecting equipment right now
:eek2: You're in trouble if you are trying to follow in my footsteps. You'll end up in some sort of 12 step program.

Not at all, but it did kind of hurt when the coffee came out my nose this morning when I was laughing so hard. It was so bad my wife had to come see what I laughing about. Good one Paul :lol:

I was at work when I saw your pic, Paul...should it be labelled NSFW?
Tank Update - found some time tonight to get my Tunzes in.
Would you change the placement any?
I have both 6201s in the rear corners. They're not totally in the corner. I'd say about 1/4 of the way in. I didn't want the overflow to block the flow. Are they good as is? Or should I move them all the way back in the corner and angle them?
6101 is front left, pointed straight across
6060 is front right, pointed straight across, but slightly angled toward center. The 6080 will replace this once it comes in. I'll then either put the 6060 on the back wall or sell it.
6045 is hidden behind larger rock island
6025 is hidden behind smaller rock island
Can you guys see the cords from the nanos? I need some ideas as to how I can run the 6045's cord up the corner of the tank. Also need to run the 6025 cord up the corner of the overflow.
The sand is moving a bit, but no dunes. I'll see how it looks in the morning.
Flow is great right now. My Desjardini seems to like riding the waves. Are they known to do that?
Marko9, your achilles will love it in my tank

God exists! A full tank shot of your tank finally! Now if he can bless you with some will to get that skimmer in, then everyone would be happier. Waiting for your skimmer was a palpitating experience but waiting for you to install it is not....
BTW, great job on hiding those tunzes, I thought it was gonna be ugly having that many in your tank, but you can't even tell that 7 are in there.

I can see your cords I can see your cords
That will all dissapear when you get some corals in your tank. Right now your eye goes to them, but once the corals grow some, you won't even notice them.
Drop some more anthias in there. Lets say a total of 7-8. Tank look great since you have been showing it some love,

HaHa, you guys crack me up!
I'm doing my best not to get T-boned - Sang, how much you charge per use of that phrase?
Gabe - I'm happy with how I was able to hide the Nanos behind the rock. I just hate the cable. Do they make Vortech nanos?
I only have 6 Tunzes in there right now. The 7th one is *on its way* (US Postal service) When that comes in, I'll swap out the 6060 with the 6080. The 6060 will then go on the middle, back pane of glass (just to the left of the overflow). If my sand can't take the flow, I'll either sell it or keep it as a backup.
Mark - what cha mean "once I get some corals in my tank"? I have 60+ SPS frags! LOL. That's how small they are right now! You can't even see them...that's why I don't like doing close-up shots...nothing to show...besides, I can't take pics to save my life anyway 
So the only solution to hiding those cords is to wait for my coral to grow? I'm a neat-freek, and want to tie those cords down *so bad* LOL
My 6025 is moving water around pretty good behind that small rock island, so I'm not going to mod it right now. Thanks for the "manual" though. I'm filing that for future reference
I do want to add more anthias. I have (4) Bartlett's right now. Will I have any issues with fighting if I add more? Is it OK to add a different type of anthias?
Marc - LOL!
Nick - Thanks
Sang - wow, you actually have nothing to say?
