We'll see in 24 hrs when I give it the test

Added two snails and 3 hermit crabs from my other tank,

Yes I know, Keep in mind this was a complete running system when I got it, and I saved 100% of the water and Live Rock/Sand ...

The tank is looking great! Don't let the guy you bought it from see it or he will want it back! Wish I lived closer I would love to buy that big guy from you! Can't wait to see it come together! I have a mated pair of percs and I love watching them, I have purchased two anenomes and they will have nothing to do with either one. Instead they are using my polyps for their spot. Getting a long tentecled A this next weekend, I hope they will take to that! Can't wait to see your next step!

So after waiting the 24hrs for the silicone to dry, I did a 5 gallon water change and brought the salinty in the tank to 1.023 (was 1.021) Leak test proved well, its not leaking anymore (knocks HARD on wood)

Hard to get good night shots but here's one filled to the brim with the old blue moon lights on, this tank is coming around

A little update on the tank, its crystal clear

The leak has been fixed

Water tests prove well with 0-0-0 for ammonia/nitrite/nitrates !!!

I think sometime next week I am going to get a pair of clowns, I want a pair of true percs so it might take me longer to obtain them locally....

Will get some new pics tommorow as I'm gonna get some frags from the 90 and put em in

Great Tank and what a good price you paid.... Hey DOT I think you asked how to get an avatar? Just go to reef forums than control panel an edit avatar. Hope that helps you.

Well I threw some pieces of rubble rock in the left back corner, also some halmedia to grow out and host pods, added my brain coral from the 90, another green sarc and a hairy mushroom, piece of an orange cap and a yellow gorg frag.

I think its coming along nice

Clowns to come this week
