Okay, first I have to appologize for the delay in updates... I have been busy with moving everything in and getting the tank up and going and working all the kinks out of the system.
So... the tank is up and running now since April 1st. I had an issue with my return pump being to strong (I over guesstimated my total tank water volume once 115lbs Lr & 160lbs LS was added), so I had to redue my drains and ordered the Coralife 1090 instead of the 1270 to cut back on flow through the sump. I also had a problem with my skimmer the Current USA fission skimmer. I had 2 impeller shafts snap on me in 1 week... so I had to return it and ended up going with the Coralife super skimmer with needle wheel... I am very impressed with this unit so far. After the first day I already pulled a 1/4 of the collection cup out of very dark skim and everything needed to run this unit is in the box.
I picked up the wood to build the stand cover this weekend hopefully time permitting and after that it will be done.
The bad news is I still have no photo's to share... SORRY! I do not have the internet at my appartment so I don't get a chance to come on as much at the moment and unfortunatly I don't have my camera here with the pics to upload at this time.
I will do my best to get over here to my parents in the next day or two, as I have them off work, and upload the photo's and post an updated stocking list of my new tank.
Ps. the Rose Bulb is doing good but decided to move into a hole in the rock just at the right angle so I can't get a photo of it unless it is fully extended... unfortunately that is when I am at work most of the time.
