well after working hard it finally paid off

heres some pics of the LR i had to work with, i set it out so i could figure out what shapes i was working with

made an acclimating station sort of by using a ball valve, look ma', no wet hands!

some of the plumbing

The Chiller

The refuge

mini refuge, i did this on my 72g tank, noticed a bunch of mysid shrimp + copepods, if you have a reef ready system, i suggest you do the same, its sort of like having 3 refuge's

finally some tank pics, im still not toooo happy with the rock work, but it will work for now. the canopy is so freakin heavy, and the tank is so tall, i can't reach it without the canopy coming off, so yea

i might consider going MH but im just scared of hiking up the electric bill

i have a 1/4hp chiller so i dont think i should be too too worried about over heating

maybe when i get the sps itch i'll fix up lighting
