2-250 hgi, 4-65w actinic PC. Cords are on a protected power strip, but those lights arent going anywhere. Me and Brian have 4 supports, plus the sides of the canopy holding them up.

It seems like there is enough water movement so far. I'll have to wait until I have the wavemaker running the koralias and the corals in to be sure though. Those are the 600gph koralias. I may also hook up my old maxijet 1200s and run them from the overflow box with some flexible tubing (if there is enough room).
 
The rock in the picture was from my old 46 gallon reef and a 20 lb piece from Brian. I put in about another 50-60lbs last night and I still have some more that has coral on it. I'll try to take some more pictures tonight and post them tomorrow.
 
Last night his return pipe came undone when he was out of the apartment. Somewhere between 5 and 10 gallons pumped itself out onto the floor, and down the floor into the apartment below. It was apparently 'spraying' out of the wall for a few seconds.

Things are ok now, and clamps will be on it soon. I took new pictures of the tank last night, I'll try to get them posted by the end of the weekend.
 
that sucks.... Being a landlord myself I don't allow for anything larger than 20g for that very reason.... Glad you caught it in time though
 
Luckily he owns the building, and we did catch it close to when it happened, but the sump was basically emptied by the time we got there.
