Plumbing is going slow. Had to order a bunch of valves and loc-line and fittings and so forth. I'm also going to be setting up my rodi/mixing station and running pipe, wires, and cat-5 cable about 20 feet through finished ceilings and walls and get it into my stand. A lot to do before there's water in it, unfortunately.
Plus, I have to shim the stand, because it's straddling a bearing wall that's a little bit humped up.
Seems like a lot.
As far as livestock, I've got a few ideas but need to do some research. I'd like to have a small school of either chromis's or pajama cardinals. I like shrimp. I'm going with dead rock to minimize pests, but I'm into diversity and critters in the stand. Don't know how to accomplish both, but I'm looking at indo-pacific sea farms

Anybody have thoughts on that, how to get fun, interesting critters without the problem stuff?
I don't know what I'm gonna do as far as coral. I really like softies and LPS. I need to research the different kinds. The selection is a bit overwhelming! Maybe a book about different fish and inverts would help, with lots of pictures. Or a website. Any suggestions?
Anyhow, should have all my pipe and fittings this week and be ready to roll! Pictures of the process soon, I promise!
