Rob Haha.. I wish, all of the small items that need to be purchased are keeping me from starting the nitrogen cycle soon. Not quite sure which fish to get just yet, possibly just one(1) fish for this tank, though. I need to make a list of everything that needs to be done(Do-It-Yourself).

aquakevem Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Aquascaping I never could have imagined of spending $30 on glue, but EcoTech Marine's glue works wonders! Earlier today.. I had decided to piece together half of my rock work, other half will be a mixture of Aquacultured Florida Live Rock, Real Reef Live Rock(Used as foundation for caves) and Fiji Live Rock. There's probably 4-5 lbs of Fiji(Reusing rock from previous aquariums) here. Link to comment

Chief Reefer Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 When is that fixture supposed to arrive? I just ordered one as well lol Link to comment
aquakevem Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 When is that fixture supposed to arrive? I just ordered one as well lol Good question... I was told by Aquarium Specialty that my fixture would be shipped directly by the US importer, arrival is unknown at the moment. I wish Vertex would go ahead an release the dimming module, along with their swappable(Supposedly) LED boards/modules. Link to comment

Thats funny, I was told the exact same thing....how long have you been waiting? Do you have tracking info yet? I was hoping to have mine by Friday, but doesnt look like thats going to happen.

I was hoping to have mine by Friday, but doesnt look like thats going to happen. I'd say two(2) business days, had ordered the Illumilux on Saturday evening. Aquarium Specialty should supply me with a tracking number soon(What was told to me). looks go so far...let me know when you want to meet up and ill grab the mag from you and start growing your cap Yeah bro! Coming along slowly... But i expect to have my tank drilled this week, ordering the plumbing from Savko 'Testing circulation to see if a EHEIM 1250 is sufficient'. Sure thing, possibly sometime before the end of the month? I'll keep in touch. Link to comment
