Ok a few updates:

I finally got my plumbing done over the weekend. That always seems like a pain in the A**. No water yet so I have no idea how I did haha.

My friend who is an electrician came over and installed a 4 plex GFCI box for me down next to the sump (so if anyone needs any electrical work done let me know ;)). So now the tank will run on its own circuit...SWEET!!! I did not want to run extension cords like my last basement sump....ugly. I also installed my Dual BRS reactor. Thanks Phillipj2 for the hookup on that.

Last my BRS pukani rock came in yesterday from BRS. Well I asked them for larger pieces and they sent me this huge show rock that is 40 lbs by its self. Not sure I really wanted that but my wife really likes this piece so I guess it will be incorporated in the mix. I will try to get my sand and aquascaping done this week so I can start filling it before Reefstock. I am trying to make it there so I can go look at some LED's to buy :D.

Yeah I really like that rock too. Now I just need to find some sand. Anyone know where I can get some for a good price?

Hook up with Majicmike he had some extra but I believe he got a smoking deal through Cat Fish Charlie's.

Well I do have a 30 gallon trash can full of aragonite sand. I am not sure I want to use it cause of sand storms. I'm going to call Catfish and see if they can get the Sea-flor Special Grade.

^^^^ hahaha Thanks for the correction Martin. I'll give Tony a "C'mon man!"

Update: I have (3)LED 120w 3w bulbs on order with the GB that Gabe is running. I did a 2:1 Blue to White ratio and added 3 reds per each fixture. These lights seem pretty cool with the new digital dimmers and moonlighting. So hopefully they will be here in a few weeks. Just in time for the cycle. I threw a couple of raw shrimp in the filter sock last night to get the tank cycling. So, I had to make shrimp fajitas last night as well, so my wife didn't look at me funny throwing shrimp in the tank HAHA.

I also have a couple of Vortech MP40's rocking the tank, skimmer is pulling out some funk, and my place is stinking up :). How come every time I set up a new tank it stinks up the house??? My wife wants to kill me right now it stinks so bad LOL.
