Hopefully you haven't lost the desire to own marine fish forever.... btw what kind of eel is that in your avatar? Looks Insane!

@Pig8enis

I'm gonna look at what is a "mortar kit" sounds like something from Call of Duty if you know what I mean, also nonstops has a book or do you mean on the topics and ideas he gives to help us? I'm also very hopeful that it will be able to handle a clam on the sand bed...probably if I start out with a nice 3-5 inch deresa clam it will thrive. Most likely next pic update will be when sump is installed or if I see my corals opening up even more (as I already notice 2 of 4 duncans finally starting to open...fingers crossed). Yeah and I hear you, about the money that goes into saltwater...I dropped personally at least 2 grand and my parents another 2 grand....as I try to purchase everything for this tank....

I don't have a book, lol. He meant the idea I brought up that I have used of drilling rock and using fiberglass or acrylic rod to make structures. I am just fully engulfed in the hobby and read a ton on the subject. Also, trying new things and sticking with what works, which in turn lets me help others be successful and not make the mistakes I have.

Nice. The extra space will always help. Do you know how high your baffles are going to be and the resulting water levels?

No, however I will probably find out tomorrow when I go to the shop just to look around lol. Is their a certain height I should be aiming for?

I don't know why, bt I'm having difficulties looking for a thread of mine or someone else about what light to use for a fuge...pretty sure it was this one however I just don't see it, unless I'm getting tired and my eyes aren't keeping up...which could be why this is a very long sentence lol. Well once again what is the best growing light for a fuge?I will be going to home depot to pick up a fixture and bulb because the installation on tuesday.
