A Special Thanks to Bret and Jorge from CR and to my custodians at work and my Uncle for helping me move the aquarium in today. I could not have done it without you guys!

I'm about 95% sure that I will be doing the Ocean motion 4 way. This thing is definitely a monster.

I am not impressed. It looks there is only room for 4 or 5 more toddlers. LoL. That is an awesome tank.

We should open up a kids play house. Jack thought that the stand was the coolest thing ever.

Just wait until that 2 foot canopy goes on top + the crown molding, it will be close to 9 feet tall.

I'm ready to get it plumbed! Where do I start? Also I have a couple of pieces of Tonga branch that need to be cut so that they can be leveled better. Gus I'm super excited!
 
Mike can't wait to see the stand . I seen it before it was stained and looks bad ***. I wanna come back once it's stocked...

Jesus christ, Mike, finish this thing already. By the time you get done, all of the stuff you're putting in here is going to be obsolete and you'll have to upgrade everything again.

I love you Brian! How have you been? I'm going as fast as I can. I'm working 50 - 60 hours a week, raising two kids and don't forget I need to take care of my wife! Anyway I hope that you are enjoying the build!
 
It's not nice to blame your wife and kids for your delinquency :P I and everyone here just want to see some water in this thing already...

How long have you had your moorish idol? I too have one and is now in the 3rd year with me.

I got him last December. He's a cow. He's fed 7 times a day. NLS marine pellets 4x a day from an auto feeder, scallop morning and afternoon and Mysis at noon. The tank is in my research lab right behind my desk, so it makes feedings easy :)

Sorry Mike, didn't mean to thread jack!
