Not much new to report. The tank has been up and running for almost a week now. I brought the salinity up to 1.023 and that cleared up the silt that was in the tank. The temp controller and the topoff are working like they're supposed to. I need to raise the skimmer up a couple inches because it's in the sump too deep and even with the gate valve wide open, it still overflows the collection cup. I won't need the skimmer for a while though.

Here's a couple pictures for the heck of it...

Looks like you're almost there! Yeahhh!

what is that acrilic box that si hanging on your sump?

It's a 24" CPR Aquafuge. Eventually it will me my copepod / greenwater culture area. It's basically a HOB refugium. I've got another 12" one at home I'm not using because I got the 24" one.

I have a tub full of live rock in the garage that is mainly rubble. Most of it will end up in the refuge, but I pulled the larger pieces out of the tub and brought them into work for the display. I need 3 or 4 large pieces for the display I think. I may call Premium Aquatics and talk to someone on the phone their about cherry picking me some show pieces.

Here's a teaser pic before the weekend...
