back in business!

After a year of planning and a grueling month of stand building, plumb fitting, CSD tinkering, and some tragic coral and fish losses, i am now bigger, badder, and better than ever!

(but keep in mind that my handy-man standards have always been a little low)

i've finally got my new system up and just about ready for livestock. i've put a 100 gallon main tank and 30g frag tank in the dining room, connected to a 100 gallon fuge, 50 gallon sump and 13 gallon surge tank on the other side of the wall in my garage. (that's 293 total gallons, a major coup for me!

)

there are still a number of things that i need to do before i consider it complete, but after having spent the 2 of the last 3 days just tinkering w/ the CSD to get it tuned in, i'm flippin' ecstatic!

pics to come, but in the meantime please help me celebrate in finally getting this damn surge device to work.

YEE-haw!

I could say it's about time! But I still haven't put the sump on my tank that I bought frmo Mike at the Silent auction how many months ago. Congrats and I hope it all works better for you!

I was hoping to bum some macro algae off ya, and use that as my excuse to come over and see the setup.
