alright so homedepot saved me. I am somewhat stupid for starting up at this moment in time due to the fact that i just had major knee surgery a couple of weeks ago so lol. But i am planning on having eggcrate on the bottom, proped up by 1" pieces of pvc so i can make the frag plugs fit. But i should hopefully have the tank up and cycling within the next few weeks

Alright so i am close to getting this tank up and running, have almost all of the pre work done. Just need a few holes drilled and i will be ready to add water. I am no longer sure of what i want to propagate since this may all be in vain since i am most likely moving next july. But i am most likely going to stick with sps and chalices. I guess when the time comes i can just sell all my hard work to some other kid who wants to propagate corals. Whats the reefing scene like in houston texas?

Ok so a small update. I was on the verge of selling all of my set-up but was convinced by a friend to keep it and set it up and he would buy it before i had to leave so thank you very much jt. I am planning on having mostly sps but i am going to let it cycle for a couple of months because i don't want to take chances. I am not going to be running a protein skimmer but i don't think that should be a problem should it?
