500 Gallon Reef

[urbor]

I added all three achilles at once and they never really pick on each other.

i have to say that is pretty cool. Its great feat just to have one achilles doing well much less three of them!

OK Ive moved into a new house and have completelty started over with my livestock which really sucks.

So here are some pics of the progress Ive made.

I supported the floor under the tank in the basement and added some bracing 2x10, 4x4 and steel columns.

I also built the stand, it isnt finished yet!

Here is some of the new live rock I got about 300 pounds, waiting for the tank to be ready for water, so i can put these in there.

And I got a crappy picture of the tank on the stand, it took about 10 guys to lift this thing probally is about 1200 pounds.

o and i got a pair of blakc misbar clownfish but i dont have a pic yet

I also got some of the lighting equipment that I needed, three coralvue 400watt electronic ballast and two 660 vho icecap ballast

I think thats about it for right now
