At Macna they had a super sweet red one.  Not bad when your tank build consists of moving it in the house and adding water.  When I look back at the time it took on our build and cost, getting one of those would have been so much easier. 

Can't wait to see it.  May need to put it on the reef tour if done in time!

Thanks!  I am going to start it from dry I think, so it probably won't be ready yet :( 

Hopefully I can get my 180 sold in the meantime.  

I will try and have this tank ready for next year's tour though.  You can sign me up today.

Well yesterday was the day.  Brad from the Aquarium personally delivered and helped me set the tank up.  I was extremely impressed with the service and care of the project.  Here are a couple of pictures.  I have sand in the tank now, should have rock for it soon, and hopefully the cycle goes smoothly so I can get my other tank broken down and sold.

Tonight I finished installing the Chiller and UV Sterilizer.  I figured I should go big or go home on this tank.  Controller and reactors really are about all it is missing.  I want to feel as cool as the rest of you when I control my fish tank with my iPhone :)

Make sure you taste your water frequently so you know when it's cycled!
