New stand and canopy pics

[casalt]

It took one week for me and my wife to build and paint but it's finished. The canopy is from bobbyblank (thanks) . Also a little side note: sam's club has blue LED xmas lights out already. Here's a link for the new pics. Ed got me inspired to do the project. http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/aa207/johnpebley/Fishy things/

What kind of skimmer did you end up with?Is it ASM?

You are definitely on your way to a sick reef!

LMK if you want some corals.I have some shrooms and anthellia for ya.

And some cool Zoanthids.

Thanks Ed , looking at your tank got me fired up to try and start out with a good foundation to build from. The skimmer is asm mini-g rated at 80gl , it was out of the box and had a small chip so aqua life marked it way down. It should work for awhile and give me time to do more research and save more money. The tank is a 60gl and the sump is a 55gl that I put glass plates in. Dr. fosters has a red tag sale going right now so I ordered a new mag pump and a koralia pump.

[/IMG] If there is an award for brown tanks I could be a contestant for top prize. My cycle seems to have stalled . Amo's holding at .50 ppm and a big 0 for trites. Now we wait....
