Gotcha! I don't have that many posters, i've had the same posters for over 3 years adds a nice touch to the room...haha.

But back on topic, i'm thinking on adding a Tunze ATO and i've been looking on maybe doing a MH retrofit...2 175W with 4 Actinics

Nice new setup! Looks like your move went well. I too was wondering about the calendar... Sounds like a good plan to upgrade lights.

No naked women, i have younger sisters...they are all in a bathing suit.

But now that we got the whole poster issue out of the way, tomorrow i will be finally running the sump. I have enough water to fill up the tank and sump, the plumbing is good so it looks like it's a go!

you need some more sand in my opinion. I love the way my sand looks and how the Nassarius snails burry in it.

I have another bag of sand that needs to go in, i haven't had the time to get to that yet. Today once i get the sump working i will add the rest of the sand, i don't like the BB look and i don't think my fish like that either.

Ryan, that's a Favia, aka pineapple brain. And a very nice looking one too.

Congrats on a nice looking set up.
