Oh come one dad, you didn't let your son swim in the tank. He is too cute...

Tank is coming along nicely. What kind of lights are you planning on?

That is some really AWESOME looking live rock! I'll have to remember to get Marshall next time. Nice shapes. And killer skimmer you've got there too. I can't wait to see pics when it clears up.
