Snuck home for a quick nooner...

Received my clean-up crew order from reefcleaners.org this morning and just HAD to get them home ASAP.
Total of about 200 snails, 30 hermits, 4 totally awesome chitons and a variety of macroalgae for the refugium...

Sexy little number...7

The curvaceous Bubble Magus Curve 7 is finally up and running....needed to cut a few pieces of PVC "legs" to elevate it a bit.
Also a dual-chamber media reactor  to keep the water crystal clear... hopefully :)

Bonsai...

Since it'll be a while till the tank is full of corals, figured that I'd try and make the rock work as "interesting" as possible.. Voila! My Bonsai!

Finally Cycling

2 MaxSpect Razors up, 3 days of making RO/DI water, 4 boxes of Fiji premium.. I'm finally cycling... Been adding Brighter MicroBacter7 religiously to speed up the process...

Beefy homemade Razor rails

Working on the stand

Cutting the stand down 6", adding some trim, and painting  a few coats of black paint... the tank is finally up!

Tank's first day home

Finally found a tank with the perfect dimensions.. 150 gallons: 5x2x2. Euro-braced, peninsula-style with polished edges.. the boring white stand needed a little makeover...
