I am going to do primarily LPS/softies (are euphyllia considered softies?) so I am going to with those Ocean Revive T247 lights. I've read a lot of good stuff about them and got to see one in person at [MENTION=8656]M3ace9[/MENTION] house.
i have one oceanrevive unit and it is awesome. very simple but works well

Unfortunately, no. There was a delay in the tank build. Hoping it will be ready before reefapalooza.

I did return the reeflo super dart and am leaning towards an rd3 speedy 230 instead.

Do to life events my tank got delayed a bit, but its now looking like next Tuesday should be the delivery date for the stand and the tank will come the next day!

I plan to take lots of pictures of delivery date, including a time lapse of going from the old tank to the new. For now here are some random pictures of other stuff I have setup in preparation for the new tank.


My water change/ato station. 2 55gallon containers, 1 for rodi the other for salt water. They are both plumbed to the main tank in the house for use as ato reservoir and for auto water changes. The ato uses an avast marine peristaltic pump and the auto water change uses a Neptune dos.


Also have 2 5 gallon containers underneath for dosing alkalinity and calcium, both with another Neptune dos


Here is the two dos's, the avast peristaltic pump, the rodi booster pump and a dc4 (wired to the apex in the house) to control the mp10 on my salt water storage container to mix up for 10 minutes before the nightly water change.



Some random equipment/stuff waiting for the new tank:
Some plumbing pieces


Avast marine reactors/Kessil a150 for fuge/holding tank


More pvc, and some acrylic pieces for the invisible rock lift


8 bags of caribsea arag alive special grade reef sand


and the start of my qt tank! I should be getting the filter and lots of medication stuff today and tomorrow to finish this off.



I've got a plan in my head for the tank swap so hopefully it goes smoothly!

It's here, it's here!

Well the tank is. The clear coat on the stand is still drying so it will be here either tomorrow or thursday.

Here are some quick pics of it sitting on my living room floor.
