I was reffering to all those tanks and tubs you set up. The new tank looks great!!!

mike

I was just joking about all that. :D

This took months and my wife is an angel for letting me do all that errrr ummm stuff.

The trick was to keep the 3 little boys from tossing change in and making a wish. The cats only went in twice that we know of.

I've been having problems with temp control so the 1/2hp chiller is going outside, snapper is going byebye and I'm re-plumbing the entire setup tomorrow. (I'm using professionals this time)

Wish me luck.

Thanks guys.

~10 hours of work for 2 guys and it's all done! Reef Empire rocks! They did a great job.

Chiller is outside, all new plumbing and the hammerhead is rocking. Holy Flow!!! I'm pitching powerheads like crazy.

I did take pics but left the card at home of course. I even shot some uneventful video of Nate crawling under the house. The raccoons, possums and skunks didn't even try to eat his face off.

I'll get the pics up soon.
