Just wanted to check in with everyone and let them know that the Tank is doing great, its moving right along. I also have some news to tell everyone. I ordered some stuff from SWF.com it arrived today. I am so excited about the order I couldnt hardly sleep last night and was up at 7 am this morning cleaning and getting stuff ready for the New additions. They are all currently in the QT tank right now and when the DT is fully Cycled they will be moved over to it. Ok I know how everyone loves pics so here are a lot of them for you to look at. I got a Hammer Coral, a Frogspawn, a Neon Zoa rock, a Rainbow Ric, and an Orange Ric.
The box it arrived in:
After they were put in the tank:
The Zoas have finally opened, and the Rics are in the bowel with some Rock Rubble from my dry rock because they came unattached so I want them to attach to something so I can place them in the DT where I want them. Thanks for everyone's help. ! I am so excited that now I have some corals, and things are moving right along.
Also, Thank you to SWF.com everything was great and looks great too. I will def. be ordering more, I am very happy with the Order!!!

Scott, your right. I am glad you are gonna do this the right way. And always QT. If I never did, I would have flatworms, red bugs, etc in my tank. Just a tip for ya, feed your rics mysis or brine shrimp and they will grow faster. Also, you will def. love the hammer, my has grown like a weed and is an eye catcher in the tank

I have wanted to do this right from the start that is why it has taken me so long to get the DT up and running because I wanted to make sure that I had everything I needed and did my research before I did anything. Thanks for the tip, I feed Mysis now, with other stuff too, thats what the clowns in the QT get. I live the hammer, and you should see the Frogspawn its out in full force.

Very nice!!!!
I knew that frag rack was being made for something! LOL
Thanks, Tommielynn, yes that is what the frag rack was for. I was afraid to post anything about it on here until it arrive and was a little worried after it did, because I didnt want to get flamed for getting the stuff when the DT has a few more weeks to go until it will be ready for even the CC. I like everything I got they look really healthy and are good quality also. and within a few hours after being in the QT everything was open and looking healthy..

Scott, you shouldn't worry about getting flamed. Average QT is ten days. Not counting if you have to treat any coral or fish, which can add a lot more time to QT. Good job taking you time.
Well I have taken all the advice I have been given here on the site and put it to good use just didnt want the people that have been the most helpful to me thinking that I am now rushing things and going to fast. Everything that I get for the DT will be QT'ed you can be sure of that I have worked to hard and to long to have anything happen to it.
HEY BTLD you will never guess where that Gift certificate that you Gifted me went can you?? lol
