I hope you don't have the MH on when it's sitting on top of the tank like that. I made that mistake on my tank once. ugly result...

On that point, if you do, try putting some space between it using PVC couplings at the corners of the fixtures where it (hopefully) won't get so hot.

Just updated these pics. These are new pics just taken a minute ago. Light is hung from ceiling. Any the cycling has begun for about 2 days now. Looks pretty clean, huh? I'm now searching to fill my tank.

That's a nice tank. That wavy sea or sea swirl will work really well for circulation. Just make sure that when you put the rocks in that you get them all the way down to the sand. Otherwise if you ever get a pistol shrimp, there's a chance of it toppling the rocks.

Keep up the pictures!

You need to update with new pic's.
That tank looks great.
SDReefers would like to see the size of that monster frogspawn you have in your tank...

OK, everyone. Here are pics taken about an hour ago. Tank is looking very good. I can't thank you all enough for your help, advice, the beautiful fish and corals. I'l still looking to add more and I will be in touch with those of you who have things you are getting rid of (selling, etc.)
Thanks again.
P.S. This camera quality is not as good as my other camera so I hope you can view it.

It is a Sabea anemone w/ purple tips. What should I do to make it "non-original"? lol

Usually people post pics as they go along, so you can see progress instead of just the current state.
