First time I bought most everything from a local LFS, Southwest Saltwater. Nice to get what you want as promised and not pay the "Tucson Premium" most Tucson LFS's try to stick you with. I was hesitant getting the Lee-Mar, wanted Oceanic, Rob kept saying go Lee-Mar. Got jacked around by Oceanic and they did not sound like they had their act together after the move, plus their quote was almost double on stand and tank. Went Lee-Mar, Diamond Edge, Starphire front, center overflow with split braces. I was amazed, I've been around tanks about 40+ years, never seen all the joints perfect till this tank, always at least one slightly overlapped and lots of bubbles. Ran it on tap water for a day, drained it, filled with RO, ran it a day, then remineralized and salted it. That Deltec scares me, after the milk cleared to just a haze, turned it on and in 2 hours had a 1" white/brown skimmate. When I washed the cup, the neck had a sludge build up, Liz wasn't around to take that pic, I was really impressed and happy I decided on Deltec over Euro-Reef this time. Good thing I hadn't put the "Live Sand" in yet, it would have skimmed out my bacteria. Never used Live Sand before, can't hurt, and might help get things running, since as soon as the Solaris gets here the SPS are moving over fast. My tank got taken over by hair algae when they did my AC and windows, part lack of attention and part drastic change in photo period. The SPS are OK, just a lot of hair all around.
