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).

 

Top priority

• Closed loop plumbing
  
• Purchase glue or epoxy for aquascaping, possibly EcoTech Coral Glue

Wasn't sure if you doing a par 38 type system or not. The vertex would def be better if your going to sps or clams

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.

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.

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).

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.
