Nah he's not teasing us with thousands of pages of ideas, so I can wait ;)

Hah!!! As Jim is the master of all tank build threads (lord knows, he has how many already just for one tank!!!) I'm secretly trying to get him to outsource that skill to those of us that can't seem to get enough time in front of the computer :).

Actually, truth be told we worked a deal in the background whereby I sprinkle a few replies here and there so Jim can get to the 2500 mark a little quicker!

Jim ... good news in that that after a couple late days of hard work the panels are in and I was able to turn on the lights for a look-see ... turned out pretty cool if I may say so myself, but pics don't do justice to the dimensionality. I hope to soak the setup in FW for about a week to leach out anything from the mortar, and then fill with SW to start the cycling process.

Mike ... shoot me your email and I'll fire off a couple quick pics as I can sneak those in pretty easily. Anything for a fellow frag patrol buddy!

I picked up a cool tuxedo urchin from a fellow reefer...big thanks to CookieJar (Bill). :)

A sweet addition to the cleanup crew!
But I do have a bit of a concern.
With the new tank and only a bit of diatom algae on those rocks, it may get rather hungry.
A problem in itself. But worse, there is a decent chance it will go after any algae
on the acrylic, and they have teeth that can cause lots of scratches.
Fun, but keep a close eye on it.
