How exciting for you!!! I have always loved the AGE tanks. Good luck with the build!!!
LPS are awesome and I collect them as well but there is nothing more impressive than an SPS tank that has grown out IMO you are going to have so much fun collecting SPS:)

Both of my mp60 were shipped back And ordered tunze....I am using a lrg wave box along with 6305 from my previous break down and a brand new 6155....I was surprized when I saw 6155 in action .... These r very strong pumps and move massive amount of water. Thou 6305 is rated twice than newer 6155 but I had to say its seems 6155 stronger and definitely twice as spread in compare to 6305.. Sorry for the blurry picsWave box and 63056155I should be receiving my 7305 controller soon in couple days than we will hve some waves .!!!!!lol

Received my 7305 controller.. Can't wait to set it up and see how my monster pumps respond with this...

In this hobby the hardest part is to wait and let the tank gets cycled....
Tested my ammonia last night it was .50 ...it might take a little longer in my case with all the dry rock and dead sand....

Awesome system can't wait to see fish and corals in there.

Have you considered having someone route out a hole in the outside of the stand for the Apex? It's kind of permanent but it would do a good job of displaying it.

Nitrates r still around 80 ... With in the next few days I will do a large water change and than let it run for few days,..
I should be able to start stocking it up by next week or two ...1st moving my fishes from my holding tank which is
Blk tang
Borb Anthias
2 mcclouch clown
Mystery wrasse

This tank will be truly a sps and wrasses ....my birthday is coming and wifey is giving me my birthday present listd below
Tank...
I hve already spoken with couple vendors that I usually deal with and trying to arrange some fishes i want...
So within a next couple weeks I will be getting

A Harlem of flame wrasses
Linatus wrasse
Rhomboid
Hooded fairly wrasse
couple more borbonious
And may a single white bar Anthias that I always wanted...
and maybe even the tamrine wrasse if i can find one....


all these fishes will quartrine for about 2 weeks before heading out in my system....


also I did hooked up another skimmer this morning nac9 I got to hve a strong filtration ..I am not planning to keep any large tangs as if now but time will tell....so far planning stock is about 10 to 15 fishes small wrasses and couple Anthias including my blk tang....
But with the less rock work since I am only using about 150 I figured another skimmer woudnt hurt...
My equipment list is over and won't be buying anything else unless needed...
i also hooked my delctec kalk stirr and i am already loving it....it only stirrs the kalk powder on the bottom not like other reactor mixes it up with the pump....very safe and efficient.. it works with my LM111
I decided not to use zeovit in this tank but will use some of their products as I start adding corals...like sponge power coral snow potassium and couple other but no bacterial additives..
