Here's who I feel like right now: Starvin' Marvin!



You know what would be really good right now, Redline? A slice of that caramel chocolate peanut butter pie we had in Vegas! OMG SO GOOD!

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

OK, so today is the day. Here are starting pics. I am currently waiting for the new water to reach 75 degrees and then the frantic adding of stuff begins. Here is the work so far....


here is the RO water into the 45 gallon storage container. My wife was OK with getting storage containers for the tank water since she gets them afterward for...storing things, I guess.




my choice for salt for the 90.




MJ1200 for current



Live sand to avoid a cycle



and I have been like this, watching the water flow for about 30 minutes. I am about to head out and start the process with the other tank. I figure by the time that is done, this water will be warm enough to move in.
