Yeah, i drove to LA to pick it up. so far so good.. this is my first large glass tank. So, im kinda nervous about it. I have heard horror stories about it. Leemar had been good and stand for their quality, im hoping nothing bad happens to this one.

Thanks litenyaup! from previous tank, the wirings were my biggest issue, no matter how clean try to make it. It gets messy after a while. Atleast with the wire duct, i could add or removed wires and maintain the same look.
hey are you a fire fighter?? my brother in law is an LA fire fighter. i got enormous respect for them.

With a toddler at home and me being away. I added a door latch and magnetic switch on each side of the door. This serves two purpose, first to turn on the Sump light automaticly when i open the door. Second, if by any chance my son gets the door to open (without any supervision), i could have my controller email me.

Very Nice looking. Nice clean under the tank setup. Can't wait to see it packed full of corals!

What's up Ed !
Great to see one of the cleanest tank builds on R2R. I'm almost ready for a water test on the big tank, I took apart my manifold and going a different route (2 returns into seaswirls). Let me know when it's a good time to hookup this month for the tunzes.
You going to the Frag Swap ?

I apologize for late response and up date, work have been killing me lately.. here are some updates.
I recently took down my Sfiligoi fixture and replaced the stock magnetic ballast with an Electronic ballast, in which i chose to use Lumatek Selectable 250 to 400 watts.
transformers that i removed out of the fixtures.. total weight my be at least 20+ lbs.
Here are the replacement Ballasts. Etremely happy with the selection. I was running 400watts on the stock fixture. I assumed that i would be running the same wattage after the swap. I set the ballast at 250 using Radium bulb, and to my surprise. At 250 watts, it was much brighter than the stock 400.
