Does it suck to put a rock in, walk through the house to the living room to see how that looks, then going back to the garage to adjust the position, then back through the house to the living room to see how that looks, then back to the garage to add another rock.....?

:worried2: :rollface: :lol:

Actually, it wasn't too bad, only 2 trips. I just turned off all the pumps so I could see, put all the rocks in the tank and started building, about an hour later, I had a reef base. The only thing I'm having a problem with is the flow pattern, it keeps blowing the sand and causing bare spots, thats caused me about 6 trips.

If it meant having this system, I would more than welcome the trips back and forth

I got all the rock in (approx. 290# fiji/tonga) completely cured, and a couple corals from my old tank along w/ 2 perks

Is the rock is like the tonga I saw in the shop Sunday? That was some kick arse rock.
I bet Kayla is enjoying her pair of "Elmos" :rollface:

Let's see some pictures!

Here are the pics of the tank going from empty to full of rock and my starter corals along w/ my fish. I kinda suck at full tank shots so bear w/ me...

It still has a long way to go, but that's the whole fun of it isn't it? I'll put up my list of livestock and corals soon. All levels are perfect, its basically totally cycled as I used all cured rock. I'll post more pics after I get the the trim up, I'm still trying to find what I want to use. Let me know what you think.....

That looks fantastic. My only suggestion is to turn the couch around, your watching the wrong side of the room

I think I can help with this problem. Put a camera in your living room, right up there by the clock. Have that camera pointed at your fish tank, and the video from the camera patched into the plasma!!! problem solved. You get the best of both worlds. watching your fish tank and your plasma at the same time.

 

[Altpers0na-old]

nah, just move the in wall tank so its under the tv.... you can watch both at once....

 

[MattG]

I was wandering if you ever got that tv. Both the tv and the tank look sweet.
