The planning is over!
There is life in my new tank.
It is a 55g acrylic tank of old school dimensions.
I have DIY'ed a simple sump for a 15g tall aga tank and running a Tunze 9005 skimmer.

Prologue to This Tank AKA the planning stage
I choose to order LR from Tamba Bay SaltWater and ordered a 45g "package" (90 lbs LR, 45 lbs LS, 45 hermits, 23 snails, 2 Tigar tail cukes, 1 star, 1 peppermint shrimp) plus an extra 40lbs LS.
Less than 18 hours after I placed my order on line Part 1 was in the tank.
After Part 1 cycles (usually in less than 2 weeks) I will get part 2. Actually I have a mini vacation planned so Part 2 will arrive when I get back after Sept. 10.
Here are a few pics 24 hours after the LR/LS was added.
