A few months back I started a build thread on a 30 gallon Mr Aqua that I had drilled, and was almost ready to fill, when I dropped a bulkhead and cracked the tank. Well, I guess it was meant to be, because I found a 50 gallon Lee Mar 2 sided star fire. The tank has been up and running for awhile now, and the bio cycle is done, and diatoms are finally gone. So for the good stuff:
Lighting : 6 bulb Hamilton with ATI lamps
Sump: eshopps
Skimmer: eshopps psk 120
Return: Rio hyperflow 17
Powerheads: saving for it now
Dosing: glh 3 head, and marine magic (more)

All the live rock, was bleached and soaked in ro/di and sun dried between each step, went through the process twice to make sure rock had no hitch hikers, then I cycled on silver sides.

Current live stock is a pair of blacker ice and a starry blenny.

A few pictures took me a minute to figure out how to post them.
I would love to hear what you think
