Here we go !!! 200 underway

[sterling]

It holds water!! Whew, I had a bad dream last night that I came out this morning and all the water had leaked out!
I've included some pics of the 200 gallon which is underway. Thank you very much to Dave and Dan from Oceans Floor for coming out last night with the water/sand/rock and all the effort!
Next week I'll start adding a little at a time of the rock and sand from my 125. And I will be patient with getting this set up properly before moving my little finny friends into their new digs.

The setup once complete:
200 rr Oceanic, 90 gallon sump with refugium, E.T.S.S. skimmer, chiller, 72" MH with 3 250w HQI's, and 4 96W PC's. Probably breakdown and get the calcium reactor also.

I'm a brave girl :cheer:
I'm already having fun moving the rock around that's in there, can't wait to start getting some of my other rock in place.

Updated pictures. This is 100 lbs of new rock. Lots of new sand, but also lots of sand out of my existing tank that I added to this. I have 150 lbs of beautiful coraline covered rock that has been in my 125 for 5 years and I'll slowly be adding that to this tank over the next few weeks.

The waiting is going to kill me, better that than kill the fish. I think next week I'll start adding some rock from my existing tank into the new one.
