Here she is today 4/1/06.
I need to go to Home Depot and get a 45 fitting and a coupling I did the drain tube way to long and need to shorten it.I removed the centered 2x4 because the wall in the sump was coming loose and redid the whole thing. Ill be putting the 2x4 back in, in a few.
Ive confirmed with my Pops, and water will be going in today. Ill be adding the sand first then the water. Ill have a canister filter cleaning for a few hours... I need to go find a small Y barb fitting ASAP for the return line...Till next time.

I have to try and see If I can finish up some nice doors and a canopy.
Heres the tank with fiji pink sand. I was amazed, Its around 3 inches but it will probably go down to 2 once the water is in. Time was against me today and Ill have to add the water first thing in the morning.
PICS!!!
I should have cleaned up the glass first but meh...Check out the Starfire panel on the 2 last pics....
EDIT: NICE CLEAN!!!

Filled her up. Im running a Canister Filter loaded with carbon and micron filters to clean up the sand storm.
Hopefull, I can find the Y barb tommorow and I can shoot the main pump, add the salt and have everything going. The last set of water to add to the tank will be from my old 60g tank and saltwater.I might add the livestock the same day I go pick up the critters from Gabriels house but I dont know yet, ill start testing the water monday.
Im planning out the aquascaping right now so I know what to do once I get the finishing pieces of Rock. Im hoping Gabriel has 1 or 2 nice flat piece left so I can give it a Cliff type of look.
Till next time!

Brent: Thanks. Im going with a 2 island theme. Both oposite from each other. one will be a high peak looking one and the other will me a short stubby looking one like a meza but with a cliff look to it and a falling angle.
Heres a 90g tank, I will have the two high rock structures except i wont have any rock in the middle it will be swimming room for the Tang and the Chromis's. Mine will farther apart since my tank is 5 feet, but he rock structures will be at least 1 foot in a half+ and 2.5 feet wide. But here you have an idea of how tall I want them.

Thanks guys
