I got mine yesterday, thanks for asking 
Your tank looks great and I can't wait to see pictures of part 2.
Your tank looks great and I can't wait to see pictures of part 2.Part 2 update, picked it up Friday and all I can say is AWESUME!!! The purple, pink, yellow, orange all over everything. Richard is great!! It took me 8 hours and one trip to Starbucks to get everything in and acclimated. My arm was sore from so much rearranging! GREAT hitchhikers, big Goby, couple of pistals, got a mantis and 2 crabs before they went in the tank. Even my wife who has been not been enthusiastic about this whole thing was like WOW that's beautiful. Richard through in another Goby a good sized Condy, a few frags, this huge hunk of coral, and all kinds of other little things. Richard you should sell more stuff 'cause I'd buy all of it from from you if I could! No pics yet, can't take my eyes off the tank long enough. Back to work on Monday so I have to take a few tonight. I'll get them posted soon. Ammonia hit 1.25 so I did a little water change, brought it down to .6, I know, don't change too much, prolong the cycle!

That's a great looking tank! Was it all package or did you order extras?
That is ALL PACKAGE!! No extras other than what Richard just threw in. I couldn't be more pleased. I had a real light cycle with part one, but part 2 had so much stuff on it that I've had to daily 10-20% water changes. I think I found the main culprits last night, two rocks that were just covered in sponges that were dying off, so I cleaned them up some. Hopefully that'll do it. Still the highest ammonia reading I've had is 1.2. Got another bad crab last night too, the first I've seen since I put it all in on Friday. I should build a trap and see what I get. I hear a lot of clicking but I know I have about 6 or 7 pistal shrimp, not seen any Mantis. How's your tank doing?

Should be ready for part 2 anyday now, the ammonia part is done, we are just waiting on our wallets to finish cycling now
The bad crabs were pretty tough to find, they aren't falling for the mantis trap trick.
Those are some super corals that you got. I don't think anyone would think you just started your tank 2 weeks ago.

Yea the bill just came in and I tokk a ration from my wife, you can't be satisfied with just a fish in a bowl? LOL Guy I work with saw my picts yesterday and now hates me, he's been doing the rock cureing thing for almost two months and his tank, well, I'm sure it'll look good eventually....he thought I'd had it up for at least 6 months, when I told hom two weeks he just walked away. Got me another bad crab last night!! Ammonia hopefully has topped out, last night and this morning was sitting at .8 so it should start coming down. Now I gotta figure out what I'm going to put in it first, kids are dying for fish!!!
