Many of my choices on my list of equipment were recommendations from Paul W. and 2Ras I'm still trying to make my decision on the color of the bulbs, but Ray's tank really helped me decide that they are going to be t5's.
This tank was Paul W.'s 'practice tank'
(just joking) and I'm utilizing his experience and knowledge not only regarding the particulars of this tank, but in reefkeeping in general. He recommended the ASM and, of course, it fits perfectly in the sump.
I'm going to start stripping the stand tonight, I hope. I've got a long 'to do' list of other chores, but I'm actually looking forward to this work.
