135 tank journal

aww the 135 with the stand didnt show up, so let me try again:

 

i am thinking of putting that blue stuff in the back instead of painting it if i decided to not have anything on there at all.

 

ok so if i add 70 gallons of fresh made salt water, with the water in teh sump and the rocks in the sump and new ish sand, that is all dry and dead and such,.........will it be a short cycle???? should i just put it in there and wait.....or do i like put a damsel in there???? need help.

 

I would take it slow, and get everything setup and running how you want and test away to see if its habitable. Plan and re-plan, its like the old rule measure twice cut once.

 

here some salt water in it, i let the salt water sit for 30 hours before i put the live rock in, it doesnt look like theres a whole lot of live rock, but there is, i have a bunch of peices sitting behind the ones you see.

 

oh by hte way i took the pic with my mac, so i had to turn it a weird way, thats why the picture looks all backwards compared to the others.

 

macbook, or macbook pro

 

lol macbook, i had to pay for it myself ahha i cant afford a macbook pro lol.

 

Very nice nemo, it wont be long now cool looking setup

 

thanks i wil update some pics alter on too, i jsut added the 72.5 pounds of ratu base, rock i at first washed it off with some water from the hose and gave them a oretty good washing, from there i went to wash it with some RO water, just to get what ever was on it from the regular water, off, so i affed all of that on today, as well, so it looks alot more full, idk how i am going to add all of the live rock that is in the 55 right now to the 135, its going to be crazy!!!!
