Tried to mount the light tonight, but the mount won't fit on the back of the tank. Gonna have to go back to the store and get them to cut the trim for me, enough to slide the light mount on. I heard that a lot of people are having this issue with these light mounts.

Got a lot done today. Added water, 2 bags of Fiji Pink Sand, about 30lbs. of LR. Tank is still a little cloudy. The plan is to add a few more pieces of LR tomorrow and take some better pics. Enjoy......

The coral reminds me of an unhealthy archohelia rediviva. Nice tank.
