I finally got everything done and just put my rock in. So far so good. Just thought I'd share a picture. Still need to rearrange things a bit and add a black backround. I might need another rock or two. Tell me what you think.

Looks good, have fun stocking that tank. Any ideas as to what type of livestock your going to put in?

Tank looks nice!

Are those suregrip mag holders for your Seio's? Any good? I've got one on order with the LFS at the minute!

Very nice, lots of room for coral placement.

Yes, those are the suregrip mag holders. They are very nice - easy to use and move around. Going to wait a month or two for things to stabilize before the coral goes in. As far as fish, I'm leaning toward a false perc, three green chromis, a firefish and a blenny (not sure which) and a goby (again, not sure which). I'm still debating about a yellow tang since it's only a 75. The clean up crew should go in in about a week.

Where did you get your live rock?

I'm in the process of setting up my 75 and I'm looking for some rock in the next couple of weeks.

There is 80 lbs in total plus 3 pieces of base rock. 40 lbs from E-bay cost $2.90/lb WITH shipping (Life Oceanic) and 40 lbs of aquaculturd LR from the Keys (Florida Sealife). So far no unwanted hitch hikers. I'm debating if I want to keep the Halimeda on the LR.

C'mon now. There's probably a a thousand that do.

But for those that are just getting cranked up, let them be happy with what they have and be proud for it. I happen to be in that boat myself!

Salty, good job on it so far and enjoy the journey.

O Agios - let's see the birth of your tank to see if I like yours better too!
