Well got everything up and running, and although it seems like i MAY have already gone through my cycle, i highly doubt it.
Started running the water and everything a little over a week ago, had xp3 canister filter, protien skimmer, powerheads, and heater running.
Added live rock 3 days ago, levels spiked pretty high, dont remember the exact levels, but they seemed pretty high, but i just checked them and they fell to 0, just have a high specific gravity now.
Big thanks to Mumblog(i believe thats his name on here) for a hell of a deal on the live rock!
Pic with flash, pic without, and nighttime pics



The nighttime pics came out like CRAP.... i really need to try to get a better pic

Looks like you are on your way!
As far as the nighttime pic, I like it. My camera won't even give a night time shot at all, unless I use flash. And then, you don't see the moonlights because it lights the entire room up.

Well after getting some really nice liverock from MUMBLOG my tanks cycle went REALLY quick (a little over a week and everything was perfect after the spike) so i took a sample of water to the best LFS in the area IMO and they tested and I was good to go, and picked up my first fish, a baby humu humu trigger (around 2-3'') and so far ive got him eating krill and squid. He has such a great personality but scared the crap out of me when i came out in the morning to find him wedged in a rock, and i thought he was dead, but I guess thats just where he seems to like to sleep
