as you can see MRC is the weapon of choice on our systems. Andy did an amazing job on all of this.

the display tank is up and running!

first fish system filling up!

heres the sump for the middle two fish systems. its a 48"x48"x30" sump with 50 gallon refugium. all in all the 3 rows of tanks will be around 1200 gallons. we want to have healthy livestock from very stable conditions due to sheer volume.

17400 gallons of return pumps! 3 sequence hammerheads

stay tuned for nearly daily updates, also shout out comments or suggestions. feel free to stop by the shop anytime!<~~~steve

I'll be there. I missed you drunk night at the saucer in Nashvegas before I left. I ran into three people from Ole Miss sitting at one spot at the bar. I can't for the life of me remember the girl that I worked with in Oxford's name (short attractive blonde-can't believe I can't remember her name now-it'll come later, I'm sure-Brooke, maybe?). I knew she looked familiar when i first saw her. Then someone else from Ole Miss that was in band with me sat down beside me with her friend. Someone else through the course of the night was an Ole Miss alum, too. Crazy night and I got to make a fool of myself (gotta love drunk gibberish talk). Enough hijacking. Just hadn't spoken with you since then. They had Rogue Hazlenut Brown Nectar-how could I leave...

Welcome Gotsalt! I hope you will try to come the frag swap in august. And I welcome you to come to a reef club meeting. We are a fun bunch who likes to cut up and have a good time. We have members who keep all diff kinds of corals - so no matter what you like some of us probably keep it and can help with any questions we have. Hope to see you around

Patrick

I plan on being there. Was just glad I found out about it. Like turboex901 said it is very addictive. lol Hopefully I can find some nice coral to add to my tank.

Welcome to the addictive hobby Gotsalt. I like your screen name to BTW. As Patrick has already shared...I hope to see you at the frag swap or even before at one of the upcoming meetings.

Been meaning to post and let you guys know - The store looks AWESOME!! I can't wait to come by and see it. It is going to be so nice to have a store that is run by hobbiest - people who actually care about the hobby and their customers. The store looks sooo top notch!! Keep up the great work and more update photos when you get a chance.

I hope you guys will be around this weekend - maybe after the reef club meeting. What do you guys say to letting the club come by and check out the progress first hand?? I think we are meeting at 1pm at the chili's on Lee hwy. Could we PLEASE???!!! (On hands and knees begging!!)
