Thanks Audrey

thats one of the wall sconces I have they are on each side of the great big front window in my great room.
So I decided today that since there will be all kinds of crap produced from the cycle that I would run a temp sump and skimmer under the tank till its finished. My thinking here is why dirty the new filtration system now when it will all be clean in a few weeks. Another thought was I will need to do a decent water change then anyway, so why not fill the rest of the system up then make the new connections.
KI did a great job a making a mess with the sand so aquascaping needs to wait till another day. No matter how much i clean the sand and how carefully i place it in it still makes a hell of a mess. pix to follow soon..
ps where the heck has Shane, Jared and a few others gone too??
