getting a bit closer, here's the area the tank is going to be installed Switched out he Brass knob Here's the ventilation duct Here's the saltwater holding tanks location

Picked them up from the Coral Corral in Tampa, it's one of two good local shops here. The rest of the stores suck IMHO

Well, my little external HOB skimmer died on my 40 breeder. Instead of buying another small skimmer for this tank and since I'm setting up my 180 in a few months thinking of getting a external skimmer to have on the tiny tank as temp. I really don;t want to toss money away on this 40 gallon. So...

WOW now thats a house boat!!!!

wow! awesome colors and tank!

Also having the lower roof replaced with metal, thought you guys would like to see this, I have to say I've always wanted a house with a industrial styled roof. The metal roofs have a 40yr warranty on them

Well changed out the saltwater tap to a PVC one and also insulated the entire downstairs. The PVC valve isn't pretty but it functions and I had the plumber figure out a non metal solution. Thanks guys for the help.

Since 80% of my corals from my CA tank were never shipped. I have to start over again picking up a few frags here and there when I get the time and money to get over to the LFS. Picked up these Blasto frags, the larger one looks awesome in person, hopefully I'll be able to grow them out. But...

Ok thanks guys, I'll fix that on Thursday, hopefully I don't need to take the whole thing apart. I had no idea Brass broke down in saltwater. I always used it on my boat and the parts always seemed to last.

Not sure what else I can use that won't rust

Not too much more to show on the tank progress, but I did run the 6" ventilation duct from the center top of the tank through to the outside. Next step is finish the walls, then real progress starts to happen!

Contacted AI directly and tried to get a bit more info on the new lights getting released. Still no date, but a bit more clarification on te specs - Smaller profile, - incorporates the new Cree line XML series (5 watt) Cool White LEDs for more intensity - Wireless Integrated -...

good to know, my tank's depth will be 28" deep with about a 4" black sand bed. So the 70 degree shimmers less than the narrower angle then correct? Called and left a message at the AI sales number, hoping to get some answers on the date of the Vegas, and why and when the Sols will be back...

If you can catch them freshwater dip them.. kills ich fast

Is this a Manjo or something worth keeping alive? Should I kill it right away? If so how? It's larger than what I thought a Manjo would be

Well looks like I'll need to wait a bit, everyplace I've checked the Sols are backordered and nobody has them in stock. Evidently ai cannot keep up with the demand. Ill let you guys know when I get them

Wow! I think that tank just sold me on ai! Thanks for all your help, guess I'll order 2 sol blues to start with on my little tank now then add 2 more when the big tank goes online. Thanks for your help

Thanks guys this is all really helping. It feels like all this technology is so new it's hard to weed out the good verses the gimmicks. I have to say coming from T5 and halides I do worry that a LED light won't give me good growth. But you guys have seen first hand that the AI Sol blue /...

How much difference in colors are there between the sky blue and deep blue ai? Is there a release date for the new AIs?

I have been reading about those ai sol LEDs they seem pretty nice. Can you swap out the tri bulbs for different colors? Does the controler offer cloud simulations and stuff like the vortex and mazzara? I also saw that Neptunes is running them on their 435 tank, so I guess they are getting...
