Very nice... sometimes I think it is sad I want to buy a bigger house just so I can get more space for more tanks.

Be sure to get yourself a water tank for storing R/O water.

Danny already have one. I soaked it in vinager and it looks brand new. All that was in it was old live rock stink from the pet store I got them from.
