Figured I would start a thread to chronicle my journey. I'll probably get bored updating it and forget about it completely in the next couple months, but it gives me something to do when I am bored at work.

Tank filled on 3/28
Started with marco dry rock and 100lb of carib sea
RedSea blue bucket for salt
Dr. Tim ammonia and Fritz Turbo start

Deep Blue 80 gallon rimless (48*24*18)
Apex 3 controller
carbon and gfo reactor run by AI Axis pump
CO2 scrubber
Bubble Mag Curve 7 elite
(2) AI Prime
(1) AI Hydra 64
Sicce SDC7 return pump
(2) AI Nero 3... for now
(2) Sicce Scuba

5/02 - Added a yellow watchman. Got talked into getting his pistol shrimp buddy too
5/03 - Put in some zoas, acans, and hammer I had my buddy hold onto since aquashella in November

Most recently got sucked into the abyss that was the WWC live sale. Picked up 50 frags. They were all added on 5/09

5/09 - Added two clownfish and a 6 line wrasse
5/10 - Re-plumbed the return externally and converted overflow to Herbie for peace of mind
5/11 - Changed out the Sicce SDC7 for a Neptune COR 1500 and added a Trident
First reading ALK: 7.19, Ca:329, MG: 1280, Salinity @ 1.025, PH @ 8.18
