awesome, love that tank! I wanted to buy it when they first set it up but they werent selling it back then. it's honestly the perfect size tank and at the right height. if in a few years you decide to sell it, i'll take it.

Love the Cedar. Not only smells good but looks great. Great job on the build.

It's been a while but let's see if I can get caught up.

I made a chaeto reactor out of an old calc reactor I had laying around

I am starting to get my dose leveled off and starting to load up the coral.

In the coming weeks I am going to word towards the triton method, or a hybrid approach.

I will upload a few more pics from the laptop later.

Really like the dimensions and look of the cedar! The Haddoni on the first page, is it blue or green? Hard to tell from the pics. Looking sweet!
