And a few more
 The picture quality isn't the greatest, but after I spent all my money on the tank, I didn't have any left for a camera. All I had to use is my camera phone.

The cycle is pretty much done. but then I did have my 180lbs of live rock cycling in a 75 gal tank since March, along with 165lbs of live sand.
Then I used all the rock and sand from my other 75 gal reef that I had set up for the past 3 years. All my fish and corals were moved to a 29 gal reef that I had set up in my daughter room or the other 75 in the livingroom. the fish aren't very happy at the moments but they will get over it when they get their little fins into the big tank. Amon is 0, Nitrite is 0. Nitrate is 15, Ph is 8.4. But I want a good bio load built up before I put the fish and corals in there, so I don't plan on putting them in until mid Sep. That is if the fish can handle being cramped up in the other tanks for a little while.

Thanks, it took a few days, and I pulled out a lot of hair
 . Some of the rock came from my 75gal, which I hated to take down, I knew I wouldn't be able to get the rock like that again. But tried I did. After three days of cussing, throwing, and few beers. Walking away and try again tomorrow, I gave it up. I couldn't get it back, I couldn't even remember how I did it in the first place. This was just pure luck, no glue, ties, nothing but balance and gravity.This tank had been set up for three years. After I took the corals and most of the fish out, is when I realized I should take a picture. That is why you don't see any fish in the pics.
