John, from Marine Solutions helped me get my tank setup.  By helped me out, I mean he did most of the work and I stood around and provided moral support.  The tank was setup on 4/19/12.  Thanks a bunch to Joe and John at Marine Solutions for acquiring the equipment and setting it up.  I will post some pictures below.

Looking good. What kind of livestock are you planning? I'm doing 2 sol super blues also over my 75 gallon.

Oh No, you let John set up your tank! LOL, just kidding. John does good work. Love the cherry and it is good to have another Middletonian on Ohio Reef.

We're still deciding on the livestock we'll be putting in the tank.  We added a few snails this weekend.

Took some readings last night.  The tank appears to have cycled.  The nitrites and nitrates are 0.  Looking forward to adding something a little faster than snails soon.
