Love it LOL Isn't that the doctor from Knocked Up? He was hillarious.
 
Still figuring out the light, so until that happens Im not using it. Dont want fried coral , I have a switch adapter wiring kit on order from Digital Aquatics so I can run the light with my RKE. So when that shows up it will be go time
 
Decided to go ahead with the bigger tank. I like the long shallow look of it, so I guess she did good after all.

Hope to get it going soon
 
Got the Nano wired up for my controller. The ALC on the ReefKeeper does a great job after you spend a few hours figuring it out. Storm mode is pretty awsome


Now to get this Bish setup
 
Worked on a my light mount today. It will be painted black before final setup, but wanted to make sure everything lined up.

Used a bulkhead to mount it to the surface of the stand , plus it made it easy to run wiring through the PVC up to the light.

Thanks NanoReefer, I really want this tank to be something to be proud of. In the past I would get excited and rush through things , just to end up regretting many things in the end. With this build I am taking my time and making sure everything is how I want it to stay before making final connections. I always preach to new comers to have patients, and buy the right equipment the first time to make things go smoothly, this is the first time I have followed that advice. LOL
 
Tank is now running, felt like I would never get this far. I will be doing a tank transfer tomorrow of my 5.5g into this. Today I got my controller mounted and functional, but still have a TON of cable management to take care of. I took a quick video of the inside of the stand, but you have to break your neck to watch it.




Let me know what you think so far (Yes the video starts out black)
 
Just a few phone pics that I snapped today. DFWMAS has Next Wave on saturday along with the Coral Farmers Market so I hope to get some nice coral while I am there.

Sunset Monti Frag that I picked up from a local reefer
