Yea it was supposed to be a formal dinning room but we would have never used it so it made a great mini fish room

O.M. is running without a hitch. just make sure when you first put in the sand don't turn it on for a while atleast a few days until all the sand powder settles out.

On the rock I'm guessing a little over 300# maybe more maybe a little less?

Let me know when you post the pictures so I can follow along!

Thanks . Here it is : http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=990537

Hopefully more pictures soon (meaning we are hoping that there will actually be something worth taking pictures of soon ).

Nothing to compare with your setup.. yet

it's a good thread. The beginning brings back fond memories...wicked stand, pouring concrete, miles of flex PVC, sweet frag tank...it's always cool to look back and see what you have accomplished.
