OH sh....! ouch on the thumb! Grats on getting it in! I can't wait to see it!

[graphixx]

thanks buddy I appreciate it!!! yeah the thumb is a little tender!!!! its a little difficult to pick stuff up with the right hand. but its not that bad. I will heal. man its gonna take forever to fill this sucker. I might go to a ecowater and see if they have RODI water in bulk. but then again, I can get all the plumbing ran while its filling

ooorrrrrr, here is a question, I plan on cycling this tank for at least a couple of weeks (just to be safe) what if I did half tap water and half RODI water do you think that would be bad???? my tds on my tap water is 220. which is pretty good and then just do big water changes with RODI as the tank cycles out????

Well not much to report. I got the sump in under the tank and got the face of the stand done. gonna wait till the plumbing is done under the tank before i put the face on. I am going to put the plywood and foam under the tank sunday (the only day I could get someone to help lift it) and then start filling the sucker up. And then I will fill it with sand and water and the base rock and a little LR, I will let that run for about a week and then the rest of the LR and let that run a week. And then I will add the rest of the LR that has corals on it along with the rest of the corals. Let that run a day and then slowly add the fish in. I am going to use the existing canopy it came with. I am just gonna have to mod it a little and then repaint it so it matches the stand. this will give it a nice clean look on the den/fragroom side of the tank. I will be glad when I can sit back and enjoy the tank. But like I said its nice not being on a time crunch. But then again i wish this was done amonth ago.
