**Update** Perhaps the single most important piece of equipment for long-term stability of a large reef system, in my opinion, to be installed soon. It looks like I will be doing some landscape work this weekend (ie, removal of boxwood shrubs) before my electrician returns to complete this phase of my build thread for the direct benefit of my new reef project. Up next will be the installation of the whole house [natural gas] generator.

Thanks, George! Things about to get real serious soon my friend. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes indeed, a whole house generator is a nice insurance policy to have for your reef. Unfortunately, power outages are too common in my area.
Nice! Trying to pull together the dough for one also. Would be so nice to know power will never be the cause of a crash.

Thank you for the nice words, Carlos Danger. Glad to share my journey with you.
Very nice build! Its going to be a dandy!!

Good to hear from you again and thank you for the amazing compliment.
AV, great build, totally impressive. You told me about this tank at a recent frag swap, love the tank build and love the frags!

Thank you for the compliment and yes indeed, I am getting closer to adding rock and water to the tank. I have been cooking over 400 pounds of large Pukani rock in complete darkness for the past few months.

That is awesome. Your getting closer and closer to water in that bad boy

Hey what going on man everything alright haven't heard from ya in awhile.

So here is the back story on why I have not updated this thread in a while. For those who know me well, know that keeping SPS long-term (ie, years) and leaving for vacation takes a lot of planning and work to make sure everything survives without me for up to two weeks at a time.

And this year is no different as I just returned from an amazing 10 day beachfront island vacation. I already miss the amazing views from the past two weeks at Lido Key. When I recover from my beach blues, I will post more coral and build update pictures, no worries.
