yup gotta get this bad boy up and running and cycled before MACNA. I got a job at one of the LFS's here fragging on Sundays. Hopefully I will be picking up the rest of the rock this weekend and getting it drilled and cemented together. And I am ordering the glass for the baffles for the fudge today.

That's a great tank, and a great start on a stock list. Can't wait to see this thing up and running!
Sorry to hear that the local club isn't as stellar as MASC, but I can't say that I'm a bit surprised. The people there really are a LOT different than folks in CO. Try not to let that part get to you, and just focus on how much money you will make, fun stuff you'll do, and GREAT food you'll eat, and it's all good.

Remember this is an addiction you cant just leave reefkeeping. It normally takes an intervention to stop the reefkeeping bug

 

[MuralReef]

That didn't take long!

That didn't take long!

Nope I have my priorities in order
