Everything seems fine this morning except for a layer of clay accumulated on my BM's neck... luckily the neck is wide enough for me to easily wipe the clay off... I think i will do this more often... the wiping off i mean :lol:

Here's a FTS :lol: Some equipments are yet to be installed... the 2 tubs of Sorb-4 and Black Gold is the position for my dual-chamber Skimz FR, powered by Aquabee UP1000. No space for CR... will have to kick start phase II immediately :)

As you can see... my main tank is still very empty :lol:

This is how my "future" overflow compartment cabinet looks like... housing the Aquatronica Control Unit and Tunze Multicontroller 7095... the challenge is actually to organize the electrode/module cables and Tunze Streams transformer boxes :lol:

Note: The pix is not real :lol:

haha not real still look damn cool .. lolz

btw the "flushing system" has pipes running up and down the shell bed, so i guess that will limit your scaping ?

In a way... yes the PVC pipes will make rockscaping more challenging... but that I will leave it to Steve :lol: My LR will be in by the 20th this month... slightly delayed but not without good reasons :)

Nice. What fish and corals will you be putting inside? :)

Bro Teo... I am still finalizing my LS List... early planning indicates towards:

1) Avoid large fishes, low bio-load...

2) Transfer all corals from home tank... will not add any new corals until the tank is ready for more challenging SPS :whistle

3) Phase II consists of 2 (possibly 3) more tanks all connecting to Phase I, will have Refugium + Seahorse and 2 species tank for propagation/breeding experiments :)

Bro Kueytoc... I have yet to receive my lighting fixture... so it is too dark to spot any pods :lol:

Good news though... NO3 is down from 10ppm (last week) to 2ppm (today)... another discovery is both Salifert and Tropic Marin give the same exact reading :)

I guess my tank is experiencing the last stage of Nitrogen Cycle now... the next thing to do is to continue introducing minimal amount of Ammonia into the tank to keep the cultured bacterias happy prior to the introduction of Live Rocks.
