72 Gallon Reef build. "001"

Nice update fishflakes. You're getting going pretty dang fast there.

A person of action I like it.

 

Well, if your looking at it, It will overflow on the right side and drain into the sump where the skimmer sits, then into the fuge where some sand and live rock will be, and then it spills into the section with the return. I guess now would be the best time ask, Does the fuge require a light to work correctly? I'm assuming so.

 

Yes, you need a light on the fuge.

 

ok cool. Thanks! Ill have to grab one of those next. Maybe a small T5 strip or something.

 

To keep it simple and cheap, you can just get a clamp-on light from Home Depot and a 6500K CFL bulb.

 

Perfect! I am actually going to Lowes today so Ill just go ahead and grab one. 8)

 

Well its been a few days since my last update. Not much going on with the build this week. Attending two schools and studying for mid term exams and finals at the same time are prohibiting. The tank trim and stand staining are finally finished and polyurethane'd. The stain on the stand kept coming out blotchy, so I decided to just put it on thick. It came out pretty nice though!




I am so ready to get some water flowing!:trampolin

 

Nice find, revamp, and build!

Take your time with the cycle, and please, please don't add too many fish at too close of intervals.

 

Congrats on the stand! I'm amazed given what you said you have going on that you've come this far so fast. Like Todd said, fast is good in getting items together for the tank but not good once the tank gets wet

 

Thanks guys! And I promise I wont stock too fast. Ill definitely take my time cycling and stocking.
