Step By Step set up of my tank

Lots of pictures! Going step by step as you say is a great way to do it, it will get everyone involved and the ideas realy flow! (plus were all a bunch of picture junkies!)

I'm using 3 tanks because I wanted to fill in that space with A fishtank but, for someone to specially build a tank to those dimentions was $3400. It wasn't in my budget.

It actually turned out to be more impressive than I had antisipated. I'm thrilled at the looks of it so far.

I'm pretty sure the next pic I post will be of the CLS I'm gonna start that this weekend. I still need to get my pumps though and my bulkheads didn't come in yet so it might not be till next week.

I'm gonna go ahead and order the mag 12s tonight. I think I can start the wood work for the stand though but thats no fun. I'm also still worried about the cost of the lights the ones I want are about 2100 bucks but, they are sweet.

I got my RO unit today and its got a busted fitting on it. One of the 1/4 inch through bulkheads is busted off, its not even in the box so it was busted before shipping. Not a big deal though only costs about 25 cents for a new one at menards.

I'm having a hard time getting my skimmer. They are on back order, does anyone know anything about ASM? I heard they were relocating the factory.

What would be better

3 of these over each tank? $1100 + 3 hoods
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

or...

1 of these over each tank? $1900
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

consider the price.
