Ok...so after the looongest delay ever due to waiting on insurance and contractor to replace the island and flooring after a leak under the kitchen sink (the leak was reported to the insurance in August of last year), the new floor is finally going into the house and *should* be finished tomorrow!!! Then, I can FINALLY continue with the setup of the new reef.

Warning...it won't be quick...but it will be fun (I hope) to follow. :cool:

Ok, so the tank is supposed to be moved into place sometime in the next week or so. It will still be a bit before it is set up. However, I have a scheduled delivery of base live rock and sand from TBS to be delivered around the middle of May. TSA is also helping me create a killer aquascape for the tank! That will take some time, but it'll be worth the wait!

In the meantime, I'm trying to think through the stocking list...this is getting REAL!! Ha! So excited!! If you want to jump in on the live stock list discussion, here's the thread link for that: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/i...at-would-you-have-in-your-stock-list.1045146/

Are you still thinking of 6 Icons for lighting? Are you planning on placing them perpendicular to the display?
Yep. I actually already have them. Probably my next job on this tank will be mounting them in the canopy. :astonished-face:

I watched the video and couldn't tell, does the canopy have a mounting system; or are you going to be building the whole thing?
