Hey guys finally finished setting it all up this weekend, it took awhile but all good things come in good time. Here is a shot of the equipment room behind the tank and here are a couple of pics of all the inhabitants, thanks to pedro and phil for supplying me with all the rock the hobby will miss two great reefers. Hope to see you guys come back soon, this weekend we'll finish and paint the walls but the system is up running except for one of the pumps on my BM 250 protein skimmer. Thanks to all.
