<span style="font-size: 12px;">Well, it's pretty much done... Got water in it, all the plumbing done, no lighting yet.. Got some excellent cured live rock (Lots of coraline) from Chris at Fish Scales in Flowery Branch for 3.20/lb, and an excellent deal at that price (Atlanta Southeastern Marine Aquarium Society membership has it's privledges)..Chris also hooked me up with some Cheato to get my refugium started as well...Been a lot of work. Thought I'd share with everyone where I'm at.. I have a note book that I'm recording my readings from the tank.. So far everything looks good except for the ammonia, it's at 1.25, but I have a no2 and no3 reading so seems like the cycle is working. 0 phosphates, 440 calc, KH 9, SG 1.027, although PH seems a little LOW at 7, which is why you see crushed coral in the filter in the picture, if anyone has some ideas about the low ph at 7, please shout in..
