Much better...

Here you go, still cloudy...I just put on filter socks earlier today.That was from pouring 2 bags of sand after I got some water in it...I put 6 bags in prior to filling it up to avoid this very problem but ended up short and couldn't wait to start filling.After much money and frustration , the tank is finally cycling...can't wait to see how clear it is...so siked!

we could make that happen..maybe on a weekend.

tank is still cloudy :(

Nope, no MSG added...just whatever might be in the premade bottled stuff like oyster sauce etc... My mom is actually pretty health conscious so you don't need to worry about that

yea yea, we all look the same too

The tank is 80% filled with saltwater and 70% of the aquascaping is done.Of course i forgot to take a picture before i left, i was so tired...sorry guys and gals!

11790A Baron Cameron Ave. Reston, Va 20190 in the Home Depot Center...intersection of Reston Parkway and Baron Cameron Avenue..

It's not pho...I was just asking Adam if he's had pho before ....it's just Thai noodle soup..

we have a big family so we'll probably do a soft opening with family and close friends...but everyone will be welcome to attend the grand opening event where we will have a tasting of 5 different dishes and tank tour.

Grand opening in 2 weeks...I will make an announcement here when we work out the final details...

Update on the new scratch- I called Adam in a panic hoping I wouldn't have to make him drive back but he told me to pick up a buffing kit from HD and instructed me on how to remove the scratch and it was as easy as baking a cake...looks like I might have a new gig

I don't even have him that long and it seems as though he already needs a new tank he like a hippo tang lol

Of course I managed to put another scratch on it after he left...sigh

Look what I just got...an LE Artfully Adam...

Thank you Maureen, I hope to see you guys soon.

Doin a little scratch removal...how it got scratches already is beyond me..

The lighting are on a dedicated 20amp AFCI with GFCI gang boxes.

To the supplement the T5s and get some shimmering action I got 2 Reefbrite strips..

Got the lights hung, after much frustration.A bad bulb ended up blowing the ballast and I had to take it down and replace it then put them back up again.Thank God for wire suspension.

If only i could afford pallets of Nutri seawater...

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, been totally swamped the past couple of weeks operating on caffeine and 4 hours of sleep...The tank is 85% plumbed.Can't do too much else right now because the fish tank area is getting painted.I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow. We are looking to open in about 3 weeks so everything is on overdrive.It will come down right to the wire as far as getting the tank filled,cycled and somewhat stocked.Would be very disappointing if we had to open the doors with no livestock....

Lmao it's been sitting in the van at my buddy's shop since the night I picked it up from you..haven't seen it in its full glory but I don't doubt it's perfection

Good man.Thanks Tom!
