Yup, its friday...barely but Im sitting here at work thought I would wake everyone up!
Ive been MIA for the last two or three days. My wife decided she wanted to buy a condo at the lake, so we have been working out the details for the last few days....loans, stock etc. We aren't looking to do anything soon, but it has been hectic never-the-less.
Got a coat of paint on the outside of the stand...hope to finish painting it today, and get the tank moved to the stand on Saturday.....wet-test on saturday afternoon (will be buying plumbing supplies on Saturday afternoon). If all works out the entire tank will be moved to the living room of my basement on Sunday. The stand won't have doors, and won't have trim but it will be out of the way in the garage so that I can make room for the doors and trim to be worked on...also I need to get all my equipment up and off of the floor in our living room....that balast laying on top of my foosball table is making it tough to get a game in.
On a sad note, I am postponing the "reef" instead I will get all my base rock and one or two pieces of live rock (not much) and just get the fish that I plan on keeping. I also won't buy my iwasaki's right away, I will save that cost for later on. So I will be running NO lights over my tank for a while, and just base rock without corals for a while. I need to start saving money for the down payment on this condo, so I can't fork out the 300-400 that I still wanted to put into this tank.....but I have too much invested not to start now, so Im at least going to get it started as a FOWLR...heck all ill have to do down the road is add bulbs and corals....
Well here comes the boss...back to work
