Looks good.
Get used to the distractions....its bound to happen, might as well roll with it.
 
Had to stop last night.... ugh, did a water test on the bulkheads and 1 was leaking, tightened it up but after trying to plumb the sump I loosened the other 3 and they all started to leak.

Back at it today, lifted the tank off of the stand, going to cut larger holes for easier under cabinet maintenance and retighten everything.

Also since i'm going through a wall, i'm just going to use braided vinyl since it has a TON more forgiveness than hard PVC. Stick and move, stick and move, adjust and conquer!

Boy howdee what a day, extra cuts in the stand, re positioning the tank a couple times and lots of drafts of plumbing. Finally setup how i like it and NO LEAKS!!! :)







Yup lights are in a slight V.... kinda cool haha


Onward!
 
WE'VE GOT FLOW!

Whoohoo! Finally. Everything has been hooked up, no leaks under full go and power outtage test done. Boy this feels good.







 
The heater is now in the sump, I had it in the display to heat as I was filling it up.

Just finished moving the lil guys in to the tank and so far it looks everyone ran to find a new hiding spot except the clowns. :)

I was happy to finally get all of the hermit crabs put into the refugium area, going to try an all snail cleaner crew in the display tank. Going to order up a cleaner crew for delivery this weekend and hopefully get some other things lined up for the months to come.

Got quite a few more things to get installed such as the UV, display stand door panel, apex (soon) and tidy up the closet area.

There will be a 90 gal reef ready tank coming up for sale very shortly, if anyone is interested feel free to PM me.
 
Well suck... didn't see the flame angel last night nor today, wife found fish bones near the rear of the tank, sure enough. Sad face.....
 
Update time! Things have been going along very smoothly. I've seen my birdsnest lose it's green color but have a feeling that might be to the lighting and very very low nitrate, going to try and turn that around. it's been taking off in growth the last month or so.

FTS





















Soon to come: Trigger Systems emerald 39. Super excited about this! :)
 
Appreciate it guys :)

Now with all the lights on:



Picked up some great frags from Cuttlefish and Coral in Portland






The clowns have taken to hosting in the frogspawn


Need some ID help on this one, I think it might be a type of porite but not sure. Got it as a throw in from a local reefer. :)
