The sand has settled... and away we go!

Cycling the tank has been completed. Tank and sump looks a little rough until I receive all the new hardware I have ordered. But, I figure you would all like see where I am at so far. The ugly HOB filter and powerhead will only be in the tank until I have received the items listed at the bottom of this post :)

so far, I have ordered or will purchase up this week:
1 EcoTech MP40 Vortech w/ Wireless EcoSMART Driver
1 AE Tech Reef Devil Deluxe

As for stocking the tank, in two weeks I will be heading up to Fresno to pick up all of my previous corals and livestock from my old tank that I had to leave behind in my family tank which I hear has grown beyond belief! Therefore frags will be available soon on a large variance of corals, gorgs and shrooms! :party:

Each colony is about the size of a baseball. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/dblhelix1234/DSC_0432.jpg RBTA and orange tip cloves http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/dblhelix1234/DSC_0436.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/dblhelix1234/DSC_0430.jpg red head solon fairy and 1 of three ignitus anthias http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/dblhelix1234/DSC_0425.jpg As for coral stocking I have another larger batch of zoas and acros coming in from the tank in fresno within the next two weeks. pics will be coming soon of those. :bounce:

currently 5 mangroves in the system along with chaeto and red gracilaria. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/dblhelix1234/DSC_0454.jpg
After some consideration on price and flow I decided to go with two seio m1100 super flow pumps w/ magnet mounts and the seio electronic controller instead of the mp40. The alternating currents are working wonderfully. I also installed a acro-cal calcium reactor and currently am at 1425 MAG/425 CA
