| Hey... I didn't have a choice.. The other equipment is what I had on my 55. bakpak 2 skimmer, which upgrade as soon as I can. I did mod the skimmer with a maxi-jet 1200 so that improves it some. I still haven't decided on a good replacement yet. I'm still running the 2 seios m620s, but will upgrade those to either 1 or 2 koralias. I get a good return water flow so I was able to get ride of 2 maxi-jet I used to run. The MH are my old 10k XM 250w bulbs. I only ran them for about 6 months before I had to move so they should still be good for a bit. I did buy new VHO lights though for actinics. I got my ATO working last night and tweaked it to keep the proper amount of water in the tank. The overall dimensions are: 36 x 18 x 24. I could only wish for a 18' tank! The height is a little annoying, but I like the additional room. I didn't get the rocks in last night, but I hope to this week. Then I need to buy some more rocks. I'm thinking an additional 30 or so lbs of rock so I will have a total of 120 to 130 lbs of rock. I started making RO/DI water last night so I'm just about ready to go. Thoughts?

| I don't even know what I would do first on a 300g. Maybe build an addition to my house! Well, here is the first rock layout. Keep in mind i'm ordering about 40 more lbs.  Please excuse the mess in the background. I'm in the process of building a shed to put it all in. I have 3 tons of dirt/stones coming tomorrow!

| I adjusted it a little bit... I decided to drill the rocks and put PVC in place to hold them. So I wasn't able to get them quite the same. Very similar though. I'm going to try to put a rock or two by themselves too. For GSP or something I don't want to spread everywhere.
