While finalizing the plumbing and electrical I have been picking my fish and pre-paying for them over the last few months.
These will be back in my tank:

That would be the Quad set of Randall's and Tigers.
Along with:
Midas Blenny
White Urchin
Pair of clowns
Past that - suggestions on other fish?

Wet yet?
Mccoskers might be nice in that tank.

Seriously, good question lol
Just add water...
SO DO IT ALREADY!
Your vacation is long past... I thought the vacation was the reason you were holding back...
Maybe we need to have an ice cream social at your place so we can get that thing running.

Need to get the plumbing done...plumbing is the worst part of the build for me. Hate it!
Need to re-seat the adapter in the hood for the Led's power source - as is, I cant open the tank lid without unplugging the led's.
Need to figure out where to mount my controller, GFCI and chiller - I am a little limited on space in the stand.
Everything else is done - has sand and rock work is in!
Have had a lot going on lately so its been kinda put on the back burner.
My Mantis tank has been keeping my saltwater addiction fed in the meantime!
Hopefully be up and running by February - maybe : )

I'll probably have my new one up and running before yours is ready.

Well - here's the update.
My Mantis shrimp Hendo died a couple weeks ago - since then I have really just been in a funk about my tanks. Still have the Nano up that Hendo was in - has a nem, a gorg from Mr.Bill and some paly's from NightOwl.
Other than that - it's pretty sad. I feed the nem some clam every week to keep him fed and the bio load moving - other than that - I have not been doing anything.
The RSM is basically in the same position/shape it was since my last update - I just am not feeling like moving forward with it. Not that I wont at some point - just not feeling the SW itch lately.
I know you all can relate - just in a bit of a funk, looking forward to getting back into the groove at some point
I have been thinking about turning the Nano into a tank to house my 4-pair again. Would take some new sand (it currently has sugar, I hate sugar sand), some aquascaping and some cleaning to get the hair algae out but would be perfect.
That may be the direction I go.....we'll see
