    Some of the new ones do come with timers. They were in the works when I first bought mine. I bought a $20 coralife powerstrip with timers that does the same thing.

    Got the plumbing done for the most part. Still need to paint the back of the tank and paint the return black. Need to stain and find some doors. Should be filling her up on Monday.

    Stand is painted, aquarium has sand, rocks, and a little water in it. No leaks. Waiting on my RO/DI unit to get here this afternoon to fill up with water and start the cycle. SCA 180g skimmer is on the way. Reefbreeders LED setup is backordered for the next two weeks.

    For a minute there I thought you were rocking one of the deepest aquarium sand beds I've seen.
    Haha yeah. I'm really really unhappy with this Ocean Direct live sand. There are so many little sticks and twigs and shit in it. I will go back and aquascape it once the cycle gets started and the sand settles a little better. From 5am-10:30am this morning it cleared up a LOT. Temperature is coming up as well. It was 68 last night and we're at 76 this morning.

    I got really lucky with my live rock (I think anyway). I bought 12lbs of it and even though it was 6$ a pound, I got 2-3 Kenya trees with it because they were on one of the rocks. So that made me pretty happy. I put 2 of the rocks in my sump and 2 in the actual tank for now. Skimmer should be here by Friday.

    My little helper making sure my live rock doesn't run away.
