Next steps, finish plumbing skimmer which arrives next week, fill water, start cycling, install lights and controller. With some luck, I should finish my cycle sometime in February as I have some live rock cycling in a separate container.

Glad to see everything going so well. What kind of mastiff's? My girlfriend and I adopted a Cane Corso 6 month's ago. A lot of work but worth every once of effort. Mastiffs are amazing dogs. I also always have a drool rag handy, haha. If I bring her anywhere I keep one in my pocket, ha.
