Well, I have been meaning to do this for a while. I wanted to do a build thread to show progress if there was any. But, finally, here it is. I will start with the stats: 34 gallon Current Solana with matching stand "Disco Ball" 150 watt DE MH (still with the stock bulb... I desperately need to replace it, but I can't find one for a price convincing enough) Via Aqua Reactor with Carbon Auto top-off Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper 1 (just set up today) American DJ power center I dont run the skimmer because with the stock PS it wouldn't make a difference Power Brite Led strip- Actinic Livestock: Flame Angel Naked Clown B&W Clown Cleaner Shrimp 2x Peppermint Shrimp Cleanup Crew 2x Green Polyped Toadstool Run of the mill Toadstool Pulsing Sinularia Kenya Tree Monti Caps (lots) Etc...etc... Thank you all for your help, advice, and especially your frags.... Shawn Stanley is the man!

I am looking into installing an in-wall aquarium. I haven't done this before, and I'm not really sure how to go about it. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences that may be helpful in my planning? Thanks, Russ

I am starting a 2.5 gallon Mantis shrimp reef. Does anyone have any suggestions for coral stocking? I am running 36 watts of PC lighting. I have some purple mushrooms, xenia, kenya tree and GSP. I'm not sure what else to put in. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks, Russ

I would like to know what wavemaker (powerhead timer) works best with maxi jets with the modification (a.k.a. maxi mod) I have 2 of them. Any help would be great! Thanks, Russ

Do you have any of the long polyped toadstools in?

When I use epoxy to secure my frag disks to my live rock, it never holds very good. what can I use to secure my corals? Thanks, Russ

Where is the best place to find Onyx Clowns? Any help would be great! Thanks, Russ

Thats an AWESOME setup! Thanks, Russ

Does anyone know where the best place to buy cleaner packages is? Thanks, Russ

Thank you all so much! I can't wait to get my tank off the ground, it seems so empty!

That would be great! Any time you want, we play on tuesdays in the summer at the Iwo Monument

Looking great! I have a small heater I will get to you similar to the one I borrowed from ya'll. I HAVE TO get some of those Blastos! They're amazazazing!

I am located in Ashburn, VA, but I work in DC at the Marine Barracks where I am a musician. -Russ

Well, I have never kept sps before so I want to try a few frags of that I just don't know what to choose first there are so many. other than that it will be a mix of everything I can get (afford). thanks, Russ

Hi, I have kept reefs before, but I am just getting back into it after a bit of a hiatus. I just got my tank going (although a bit empty). I broke down the other day & bought a solana by current. I LOVE IT! Hopefully soon, I can get a few things to put into it. Anyway, A freind of mine told me I should sign up & so I did! Thanks, Russ
