Want Salt Water Fish Tank? hope you have a good job

[SK8URDEAD]

well so far this fish tank has costed me about $1600 to get it where its at :) but im happy with my final product before i start adding the fishes in about 2 weeks.

well i started this hobby in november 2008 only to accidently break my first tank which was a 75g but to end up with a better tank :). that would be my 62g oceanic tank.

im glad and happy to say after all my work of diy and finding how things go here and there that im quite proud of myself very much :) i dont have anything in the tank itself other then live rock and sand and my korlia 3's but here goes the show.

List of items and specs:
62G (36"Lx18"Wx22"H)
10G Refugium
15G Sump
Buckeye 100gph RO/DI
Odyssea 550 return pump
Stealth Heater 200W
Coraluve Refractometer
2 Koralia 3's (man these things are sexy and have poer lol)
Aqualight 3 set timer(this thing is baddass and easy to use!)
DIY Stand(ohh yeah saved like $200-$400 just on a DIY that costed $50)
Aragamax Sugar Grain(looks really nice got 70lbs in my tank and have about 20lbs left over)
Odysea 630W 36" (2x250W 15K, 2x96W Actinic, 6LED blue moon lights)
also i know lots of people say these fixture are cheap but i decided i wanted one to try it out and see how good/bad they are. i believe i got lucky because my light doesnt look yellow at all and if it does its very slightly that it does, anyway in a year or near future im going to be having 2x14k phionex with icecap ballast probley :P. but the fixture its self is sturdy and great. but here are the pics start from finish. there is more stuff i know im missing on the list but lol dont remember it all.

[Quantooce]

Who are the people in the pictures? I'm guessing they are relatives?

Ontopic: Nice tank.

[SK8URDEAD]

[maggerz]

How about removing those pics with your relatives in them, you don't pedo bear tracking down that baby.

Why do you keep making the same threads with the same pictures and basically the same text?

Oh yes, did I forget the same annoyance level?
