Check this out. I think I'm going to be saving on electricity!
This is my tank in the morning with NO lights on. The windows face north, no direct light, but wow is the tank lit up with all four sides getting natural light! lol

LOL!
I know, i gotta go get that UV hooked up!
Who knows what will happen until i get corals in, but imagine being able to leave all lights off until around 5pm-10pm... when we are there to view the tank.
I'm looking at the rock today... lots of cool little feather duster things popping in and out of the rocks.
Ammonia is holding steady today at .25

In about 2 weeks or so. As soon as the ammonia stops spiking I just call Richard at TBS and he will overnight Part II. The 2nd half of the rock with lots more life on it, all my cuc and hopefully some other surprise goodies. :D

Richard is a pretty good dude. My last order of dry rock had an unusual hitch hiker. I put my two base pieces in and was arranging them when all of a sudden something popped up and it swimming on the surface. Jumped back real fast. It was a black colored snake swimmimg pretty well. My first thought was a cottonmouth. I quickly grabbed some tongs and got that guy and quickly dispatched of him. He had an orange ring around his neck however I did not pay attention to that at first. It turned out to be a Florida Ringneck which is harmless. I guess the rock was just sitting somewhere and he was curled up inside when Richard bagged it. Also had little baby tree frogs popping out of those two pieces. I informed Richard and said that, that was a first.

Ammonia is still holding steady at .25 since the initial 1.0 spike and water change.
Might be able to get Part II of my package pretty soon!
Here's another couple pics.
And working on getting my Reefkeeper Elite transferred over from my old tank to this tank and getting the wiring in order.
