I bought the tank in February, minus all of the parts.
I collected everything I needed over the last few months. I bought the skimmer from a friend. Later, when I was looking for the hood, he told me he was upgrading and had a brand new hood still in the box. Of course, I bought it. It sat for about 2 months and when I finally ordered the bulbs, it didn't work! The box was never opened, I had no idea why it wouldn't work. I finally took the hood apart (not as easy as it sounds) and found that it was just a loose wire, cool! It works fine now.
I got a stand I found on sale at a LFS this summer, then, I bought two hydor pumps and as it happens, one didn't fit. So, I'm looking for a pump (less than 4") that runs about 250-320gph.
I picked up about half the live rock I need Friday (Thanks Cubzbiggiestfan) after filling the tank with water, partially with w/c's from my RSM130. Since I forgot to put the plastic screw plugs back in the hood, I haven't run the light, but here's a couple of pic's. I'll post more later when I finish the hood and arrange the rock a little!
