Started gluing PVC at 6pm, just ended up with this:
Not sure what I plan to do with the aquascape yet but I kind of like it as is. Once I glue the frags back that I knocked off moving this whole thing around I can get the frag rack out, move the center rock back a bit and move the side rocks forward a bit. Now I just need to sell/trade the LEDs for a 4x24w T5. Maybe they will go with the SpecV as a complete setup.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I do too. I just really want a different light so I can get SPS level light over the whole tank.
Thanks! I can't believe I've never used a herbie style drain before. The system is so quiet now that the CPR reactor trickle is almost too loud/annoying now.

Thanks guys! [MENTION=636]Gary[/MENTION] and I went out to the burbs to see [MENTION=454]maidia[/MENTION] and [MENTION=433]AACorals[/MENTION]. I really wasn't planning on getting a whole lot, but of course I did. Special thanks to Mai for having and being willing to frag the super green fuzzy coral I've been looking for the last couple of months. Of course, pics:
Frag rack looking full. Pretty much enough to stock the whole tank:
Sweet plate from AAcorals. Doesn't look that good right now but I have very high hopes. Check out the blue tipped tentacles!
Nice plate from Gary:
Both of the new plates with my plate from the clown tank, looking much better under the CREE lighting vs. Coral Compulsion Chinese LEDs:
Some other shots to compare with the T5s that I'm putting together next week:

I had a feeling when you were selling your fixture!! That’s why I linked you to that one website as they sold empty housing and perfect for DIY's. You could have kept the fixture for parts and sold the rest.. I have a hybrid link in R2R that might help give you some ideas.. LMK!

Whenever you want dood. Tank looks kind of silly right now with the centered LED. Hopefully the T5 will be up and running on Sunday. Not sure if I'm going to do the LEDs the same day or later in the week.
Thanks, but you know me, already totally planned out before I get going then put together FAST.
