Salty water!

This morning with the aquarium finally full of freshly filtered water it came time to add the Instant Ocean brand salt I had purchased weeks before. After adding 18 Cups of salt the salinity was at the desired level.
It was a HOT day in Montreal today, it seems taking out the AC last weekend was a tad over zealous. Summer it seems has some spunk left in her and is trying to melt all the nay sayers.
I left my apt with Melanie around noon to partly escape the heat.
We did a tour of the Aquarium stores looking for inspiration and I ended up purchasing a light timer. Its pretty cool as it is a power bar with 2 sockets on "day" 2 on "night" and 4 constantly on. This allows me to plug the aquarium lights into it and alternate the 2 main lights in the display for the day and the light in the sump and the moon lights (seen above!)

I should be getting a batch of live rock soon, I am just waiting on a guy to get back to me.
Oh I also ordered some "chaeto" which is a macro algae, I should have it arrive at work on Tuesday. Will explain about that then!
