The things we do for the hobby to get stuff cheaper. Hope it's worth the drive to get rocks Most people get rid of rocks BUT reef junkies want more and pay to get some rocks

so far so good.
I cleaned out and levelled the tank. TESTED FOR LEAKS OVERNIGHT (lol).
ran to B&R and got some plumbing goodies. Now I am cutting and placing all the pipes.
I decided to go with the megaflow 4 sump and a 29g refugium beside. I have about 7 inches to spare so worked out well. I will shoot some pics later when I get it plumbed up.

I will post pictures as soon as it clears up. I will go ahead and state the the stand and canopy are not my favorite but it came with the set-up and after I graduate nursing school and purchase a home the oak stand and canopy will be purchased and used :-) so for time being this is working. My grandmother loves kevins job he done, but thinks the tank is to big and likes the 65g better. Btw Kevin she said she hopes the wife is feeling better and that the kids were magnificent and well behaved and was a pleasure.
