Ha!
Water - check
Sand- check
Fish, Coral and rock - waiting in a couple other tanks!
The sump is not plumbed in yet so I have been adding RO/DI to almost fill the 40 and tonight I added salt. MP10's and heater are getting the water ready!
Tomorrow the sump will be plumbed in. Then I will be pulling all the water out of the 20g and adding that to the sump. Moving what rock is in the 20 along with a Frogspawn, a nem a few rics and a Firefish to the 40 tomorrow night!!

Nothing good in this hobby happens fast.
Gotta tell ya, I love the fact that we have taken our time on this one. Correcting all past mistakes and catching current ones before there is no turning back.
No hurry as I still had a couple of tanks to play with!!!
Ok, so you built my frag tank, can I buy it back now? Haha. JK.

Angie takes slow and steady to an extream... to save 99 cents, she waited for a north metro member to come home so she could get half a can of black spray paint... coulda ran to Menards and had a can for a buck.. (and whatever else she buys.. like the 56 can roll around cooler for her beer)...
