yeah thanks, it pretty much all started by looking at erics raffle tank in the garage on saturday. I was in love, thats all I could think about the whole meeting and after I left I went home and started coming up with ideas. I called Eric and he jumped right on it. Thanks again Eric you are THE MAN. It would be crazy if within 7 days it had lights water and coral in it!
Hear that eric ;)
I think its possible.

OH I never thought to ask but do you think were gonna need a dolly and a few large guys to hoist this beast onto the stand?

Its funny, I cant wait to post some issues, comments, whatever in some of the forums about the 10 and then have someone ask "well what are you using for a skimmer? calcium reactor? " e.t.c. :)

LOL, how big is your sump?

well thanks for the interest there murphy, my sump is 150 gallons and I have a "lighted refugium" that is 600 gallons. It is an experiment, I hope it will be enough to sustain clams in this new tank ;)
