Got home at 8pm and finished getting the sump in after 11pm, went to bed around midnight and was back in the office by 6:30am. I try and find time :wub:

Tank is 60x30x30 and will be softie and LPS, my wife likes things that sway. All I am really waiting on is time really, my goal is to have water in by the end of October. John built the sump and ATO chamber, he does great work!

Equipment:
Reef Octopus XP3000 (have)
Neptune APEX (Need to get from Jason)
4x Ecotech Radions (already ordered and shipped)
2 MP60w (have)
2MP10w (have)
Reeflo Snapper/Dart Hybrid (have)
Tunze ATO (Need to get from Jason)
2 Reactors (Carbon and ??)
No refug, I will just be stacking that area with live rock

We really wanted a in-wall tank, we bought this house last June so we sold our last tank since we knew it was going to be at least a year before we got another one setup. I wanted to get the backyard done before the tank and while it still isn't 100% done my wife is preggo and she said she wants the tank up before the kid is born so I didn't argue :peace:

I wanted to get the F but my wife said she couldn't tell the difference between the two except the carbon interior :rolleyes (2):. Since it's her car I just let her get what she wanted, if I want to go fast I jump in the other car :elefant:

I was debating between the 5000 and the 3000 but after seeing your pictures the 3000 is already huge! lol

I was never a big fan of SPS, nice colors but I already have a job and don't need another one lol. I agree with acrylic tanks, we are going to have kids and always have parties at our house so I didn't want to deal with the scratches. Same reason we didn't go with starphire glass. It seems whenever someone sees the magnet on the tank they always move it and I knew we would end up with scratches all over the glass :violin:
