The Eagle has Landed

Solana, 34 gallon
I was finally able to meet up with the guy I was in contact with about buying a 34g solana from Sunday night. Got everything loaded up in the car and took it home. It is now sitting next to the 20H ready for everything to be moved over. When I got home, however, I discovered that the "Y" nozzle was missing so he is going to search for it and mail it to me so that I can have it for when I set the tank up. 

I ordered 20lbs of Pacific black reef sand online and it arrived just the other day so I think I have enough sand to make a nice sandbed. 

I'm going to buy and build DIY LED lights but they are on hold until July so I'm going to use the 2x65w pc fixture I have on the 20 right now. The 6,500k white just went out so I'm left with just one bulb running on it ATM so I'm looking at buying a new bulb online to replace the old one. 

I also traded for some coral and picked up some Lunar Eclipse Zoas, Hydrophora, and some Flame Algae. 

The tanks is clean now and I have been fixing up the stand because it has a few extra holes on it. I'm going to pick up some black paint to finish the stand so everything will be ready for move-in on Friday.  Nothing major has to be fixed on it which is really nice.  Everything is coming along nicely.
