It would have been fun to have you here!  Randy is drawing out the plans for the wall.  We have someone that is buying our pool table.  Hopefully he gets it in the next few weeks.  Randy would like to have the tank up in 3 weeks!  I've already bought 2 Triggers for it (Picasso and Niger)!  Joel is holding them for me.  :)

I hope to have it up and running by Superbowl!!!  ;D

Yep they are glass over flows.  How do you tint them?

LOL LOL LOL, that is too funny!  I'm sure Gary appreciates that!  ;D 

Yes it will be tied into the system, but will have it's own pump.  feeding it to the system. I think Randy said he's going with a mag drive pump.  that way there will be no draw on the main whole system pump.

Great pics Micki.

Man, getting that tank down the stairs was a a pain I bet.

If you want tinted or black overflow boxes, silicone black acrylic or glass over the outside of them. It will make it so you won't have to worry about them looking grungy.

Oh, I almost forgot, did I remember to tell you that tank leaks? :D

Actually Joel, it wasn't a pain at all...  At least for me.  LOL  The guys might have something different to say though.  ;)

I'll say something to Randy about tinting the boxes.  That's his department.  ;D

Actually, Joel, getting the tank down the steps was probably the easiest part!! We just set it down on the steps and slid it down slowly.

I told Micki I felt water leaking out of it when we carried it in, but she didn't believe me!!!

Well, I think I have my fish list in order now. :)

2 Hippo Tang
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Niger Trigger
1 Picasso Trigger
1 Clown Trigger
1 Eeel probably- a snowflake
and possibly a Lunar Wrasse or some sort of aggressive type wrasse.

Joel has the three triggers.  2 have been living together already. He is going to add the clown to the mix and see what happens.  If all goes well, I'll get all three.  :)

This isn't exactly ont he 150, but it's kind of for it.  Randy has said for a long time we needed a booster pump for our RO system.  I ordered one tonight!  It usually takes us 2-3 days to fill our 100 gallon salt water making tank.  This should allow it to be full in 1 day!

How much did the pump end up costing you? I've been contemplating getting one, but they are so darned expensive.

Well, that's about $30-40 cheaper than I've seen them at most places. Where did you get it at?
