I agree Meowzer that tis the reason for the season is it not.. Hey There is more of that Brown stuff on the bottom glass of the tank and now its on the PVC pipe too you really think its Diatoms??
yeah......do you have a mag cleaner yet???
Nope I dont lol I need to add that to the list also.. OMG something new added to the list all the time.. But the funny thing is there is nothing on the sides of the glass just the bottom and now on the PVC lol.. So I just leave it there??

Sounds like you're making progress on your tank.
Me on my tank not so much. I have my work cut out for me for a little while.

Yeah the ammonia is the same as it was last night.. Whats going on with your tank??
I somehow introduced dino flagelletes into my tank. Right now my corals are angry, I lost my sps and my tank is just down right ugly. We live and learn. I am going to win this battle. The weird thing is (at least I thought) my water conditions were fantastic and my coralline is beginning to grow on my all my rocks, some of my equipment and my glass.

Ok Just wanted to give everyone a little update on things. I think there will be some builds going on here in the next few weeks. Woo hoo.. Got my Tank and stand today, also got the silicone for the sump tonight also.. I am going to post pictures here for now but I will be starting an Official Tank/Sump Build thread so everyone can follow along. I want to give an Update also on my Qt it has been up and running for 32 days and I did tests last night and All Params look good. Ammonia is at 0, Nitrites are at 0, and Nitrates look at about .30 as of right now.. I am going to test again in a few days to see if they stay like that and if they do I will ghost feed it and check the params in a few days after that, if they still stay in check I think I will be ordering my Clowns to put in it while the DT is Cycling. Ok now here are the pics.

Just to show you that I got he silicone

Just to show that I listened and I got the right kind.. LOL

Now for the Tank and Stand

Tank and stand

#3

The stand is Black Pine stand BTW if anyone was wondering, I got a great deal on the set.. YAY Going to be doing a Tank build on the DT..

Did I miss something..what size is the tank? I like the black, very sharp.

Shalom Miss Flower,
No you didnt miss anything I just got My tank tonight, and wanted to show it off to everyone. I had to go with the 75 gal tank because the price they wanted for the 90 was just out of my budget at the present time. I will most likely be able to upgrade to a bigger tank in about 12 to 18 months. I like the black too and I got a great Deal on the tank and stand together.. It was one that I could not pass up. I bargained with the Manager of the No So LFS and told him what I was looking to pay for the tank and the stand and he gave it to me.. I save $100.00 buying them both.. I am happy, I would have loved to go with the 90 gal and we talked about that today when I was there but he could not give me a good price on it so the 90 gal didnt happen It would have cost me $165.00 more for the 90 gal and my budget just did not allow for that. I could not Justify paying $165.00 for a 3" taller tank.

Looks good Scott...your stand matches the one I have for the 50G, just a little bit wider. I look forward to system assembly.

Thanks Corey I cant wait to start putting everything together this has been a long time in the works for me. I would say about a year and 3 months in the making to get this tank up and running, I am in the home stretch now. Yeah I like the Black stand better than I liked the regular Pine one I think it looks more classy. Stay Tuned because I think this weekend I will be putting the baffles in the sump and I hope that you are around in case I get stuck.. LOL

LOl its ok you need to eat dinner. I am just so excited that I finally got it and that it is reality. When I got home I have to look over every inch of it to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. I inspected everything on it. LOL Just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. I just can not wait to start putting it all together.. That will start this weekend with getting those baffles put into the Sump..
