Thanks, yeah I got a few folks in my giving me crap about the tank being dry for so long.

I wont lie after I thought about the entire system being 400 gallons and at 10% I was sorta thinking maybe this is large enough but I just love when the fish can swim freely and elegantly. Stresses me out to see fish only be able to swim back and forth in front of a wall of rocks. As for power I had electricians come in and wire up two dedicated 20 amp circuits and then I can tap into the house 15 amp circuit for smaller things. Ill have 55 amps available. As for the halides im only going to run them for about 4-5 hours a day to mitigate heat and bulb life. I was watching a seminar by Austin Lefevre and he was stating that corals only need a short window of peak stimulus so the idea is to ramp up with orpheks, have halides kick on all at once or even in stages then have the orpheks ramp the tank back down. As for that skimmer....im a sucker for old school gear. I like stuff that just works, I know the hobby has evolved but some things for me I dont care about the frills and thrills skimmers being one of them. Im still the guy that thinks birdsnest is extremely pretty. Im almost thinking about stocking the tank with nothing but OG pieces.
