Thanks Justin :hammer:

The tank is what it is :thumbsup: People come by and say it looks great, but I still see the things wrong with it :crazy1: Luckily the english premier league has started back up so I have something else to keep my mind away from the tank and the furlough politics that are still up in the air. It sure would be nice to know what I'm going to make this month. Keeping a reef tank requires a monthly budget and at this point, I still don't know what my pay will be on the 1st. I know...suck it up :lol:

Congrats on getting the tank set up. Lets see some pictures. Post them here; I don't care :p

That's a real drag, I've got several friends in the system who are in the same furlough boat as yourself, including my fiance... though her situation is a little different because she's furloughed inside of the university system.

Here's a couple of the tank. A few things missing... lights, cabinetry, wire-tucks... blah blah blah, you know how it goes. :hammer:

Very nice Justin :thumbsup:

A couple of questions:
What are you going to do for lighting?
Are you going to black out the back?
When are the corals going in :p

Lighting... ugh... I don't know. Today its MH/VHO, tomorrow its a powermodule. Next week its VHO+T5+LED :rolleye1:

I'm going to leave the tank's background clear for now. Though once corals start growing in, I might change my mind. I've seen some nice tanks left clear, but just as many if not more with black. One thing is for sure, no coraline. I vow to be religious on scraping.

Corals? I've got frags of your oregon tort and some orange digitata in there right now, left over from the old system (very small nubs). Hopefully they can last a while without proper lighting... I've just got a couple T5's layed over top of the tank during the afternoon.

Ian: Thanks!

Its nice to see the first win and pulling ourselves out from the bottom to 12th position in the league table... I think we are going to see a difficult season this year but as our motto goes You Will Never Walk Alone. That win over West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Sunday wasn't that impressive either but we will prevail :thumbsup:

It was nice to see Torres finish one and start to show some better form. I know its not all of the signings like City, but I'm happy that Roy has tried to bring in some new talent. Tomorrow is the transfer cut off window and besides Konchesky, it sure would be nice to see Carlton Cole end up in Red :thumbsup:
