getting closer to water

[blastprimo]

Thanks for the complements.

The Durso is a 1/2" bulkhead that gets stepped up to 3/4" plumbing. Similar to the 1" to 1 1/4" design that is explained on the durso web page. It seems to be working quite nice and pretty silent.

Well, I now have the tank full of saltwater, 40lbs of sand on the bottom, and just freshly added 15 lbs of live rock from the LFS. Most of the rock has been in their holding tank for a while (i looked at this stuff when I bought the tank a month ago). They also gave me about a cup of the live sand to help seed my argonite (sp). Once the sand storm settles I will post a pic. I'm also planning on trying to get some more rock this weekend.

The sand is starting to settle again. I can't wait till it is clear again. until then, here is a quick pic of the tank.

I decided to start posting the pics in a new post in the members pics nano forum. Here is the latest pics

That is a really nice tank wat do u plan on keeping

 

[blastprimo]

I am surrently making up a livestock list. So far, I know I want the following:

Fish:
2 Cinnamon Clowns
1 Chalk Bass (wife is not a big fan of this guy so that may change)

Soft Corals:
Blue Zoas (pretty much any type I can find with blue centers)
Red Zoas (same thing)

Stoney Corals:
Orange Cap Monti
Green Cactus Pavona
Purple Monti digitata
Pink Birdsnest (maybe the ones with the green tips if I have excess money laying around)

Other:
1 Blue Rimmed Derasa Clam
1 peppermint shrimp
Clean up crew

I'm sure at some point I'll fall into the acro crowd but that will happen
when I stumble into the LFS and they have a really nice colored frag
on the right day.

Thank you. I forgot about this post since I started the other one. Now I am looking at my list. I'm pretty close.

I have the chalk bass and 2 clowns (nigripes instead of cinnamon)

I have the red zoas but no blue ones yet

I have orange monti digitata and purple monti digitata but not really really purple. I also have some montipora danae (cool looking).

and I have the cleanup crew now.
