First, I purchased the tank and equipment back in June. Then I purchased the rock back in June (thank you Danny) and I let it cycle all summer. In late August I custom built the stand up to the point you currently see. There are no doors (yet) and only a makeshift canopy which will have to do for another couple of months. The wood so far in the canopy is Lacewood. I have not decided what I will use for the doors yet, maybe cocobola. The canopy will definitely match.
Here are a few pictures of the tank, rock and stand before I added any corals.

Now after over a month of the set up cycling like it was above I began to purchase livestock for the tank. For less than two weeks I have purchased (and some has been donated) ALL of my livestock from SDReefers. I would like to personally thank all of the people who contributed to the beginnings of my new tank, without you, this would not be here, thank you.
Anyway, here it is today and I hope to get in on Danny's next fish run and get quite a few more things and then let it alone for a while so I can get back to the stand/canopy!
