Thanks Mark. I did have a little problem when I tied in the tank. I think there was some sort or oily residue on the spaflex. It caused my skimmer to not foam and a couple sps to rtn. Everything seems to be better now though.

Thanks Greenmaster. I added my black tang to the display last night. I want him to get used to the tank before adding any other fish.

How much those vertical water containers run you if you dont mind me asking and how big are they?

They are about 100 gallons each. They were about 160 shipped each from tankdepot.com. I was able to get in on an order with some friends to save on freight.

LOL now there are two of you.

About 450 gallons total. I am unsure when I will be done exactly. I have a lot on my plate for the upcoming month. Not sure how much work I will be able to get done on the tank.
