    Hey Brennan

    its coming together nicely
    thats a good sized tank to work with IMHO

    I moved your thread to the "Show off your fish tank" section
    as it will be a reef tank build, I think thats a better place for it than the DIY section

    hope your OK with this

    Looks like a good start to a fun project. Good luck and have fun. BTW What are the dimensions of your tank?

    We got the carpet today, after throwing all my furniture back in my room I started on my scape and after I added sand, I will fill the tank up tomorrow and also add some LR and LS to seed my tank. I will post pictures below but first I have a question,in my initial stocking idea I planned on having a Mccosker's flasher wrasse but recently I found out that they lose their color without other females or a male from a different species. So I was wondering if it would be better to get a Mccosker's and a different species flasher ie. Red fin OR get just one larger wrasse such as a female leopard wrasse

    great looking start, only one concern, perhaps you should look to get your sump/fuge up off the floor or contained somehow incase of leaks or overflows.JMHO;)
