Also, got lights ordered for the 150. I got two Chinese LED fixtures to hold me over and until I can get better ones. My friend has a skimmer that is rated for a 300 gallon tank (don't remember the name of it though) that he is going to trade me for some t5s. Just need to build the stand, get a return pump, and the plumbing. Then the tank will be up and running.

A buddy of mine had been keeping his eyes out for one of these for me. And, he called me tonight, so I went and picked it up!

It's roughly 5-6" and was really active in the tank when I saw it! :)
 
Got the lights and temporarily hung them. Also picked up the skimmer. I was wrong about it being rated for a 300g tank.... it's actually rated for a 400g tank! :)! Came with a 900gph pump for it.

Grabbing another 55g tank and stand this weekend to hopefully start transferring the stuff over.
Also, my buddy is selling me a 90gpd RO Unit as well as a Mag9 return pump for the sump.

Then it's build the stand, plumbing, and set it up! Yaaay :)
 
Couple of pics :)

This little guy jumped out right in front of my face. I had my hands in the tank and moved a little quickly. Fortunately I had him back in seconds lol.

nice...BTW I just picked up a 29G biocube

gonna do the intake media basket with the Tunze protein skimmer...going to use the stock lights as of now but wondering how you are liking yours
 
They do absolutely fine for any type of LPS/Softies. Birdsnests and some Montis are okay if they are high up. For PC lighting, they actually aren't horrible.

The LEDs on the other hand, I like A LOT. I'm going to go a little crazy when I upgrade them :)

Within minutes of changing over the lights, everything started to open up :p
