    Nice set-up!! Don't worry about the cloudy water to settle. Just be patient ... it will go away within a few days. At least that is my experience. Mine settled after 2 days.

    So what do you use for water? Do you use reg. tap? Or do you buy RODI from LFS? I've been pondering the whole RODI thing. It's becoming a lot of cost considering the cost of my aquarium build. :confused:

    BTW, yours looks good so far CJ! :)

    I get mine from LFS. About 1/2 a mile from my house and very reasonable prices. I would get a RO/DI if I had the room.

    I pay 25 cents a gallon. Salt is 75 cents a gallon. RO/DI would come out a little cheaper, but the prices are not outrageous for me and I trust his water, so that is a biggie.

    Need some pics - let's see how it's doing! How's flow from your basement up to the tank?

    Looking good CJ. How long has it been cycling for now? And how much longer are you going to wait?
