Dane's 40 Gallon Breeder Build

Aquascaping can be so frustrating. Thinks looking good..

 

Thanks Scuba Ken, was thinking the same thing.

 

Its actually pretty stable. The bottom piece is very large and flat making a good base. I would like to make a cave on the left. The one piece is just so big, maybe I'll break that piece up? Thanks for the help Marshal!

 

Thank you Chris!

 

Ok good. Maybe wait until you buy the rest of your rock before breaking it up. Maybe you will get some good pieces so you won't have to.

 

Water is in along with 40lbs of live sand (Caribsea Fiji Pink) and a couple shrimp to start the cycle.

I never filled my tank up or tested my tank out after running the plumbing. So I had my fingers crossed all would be good and it turned out as planned. Beananimal overflow with the custom made overflow box from glass holes.com is dead silent.

Pictures will be up tomorrow when all the sand settles.

 

Sounds good! I can't wait to see it

 

As you can see my water is still very cloudy. Any ideas?


Modified beananimal overflow.

 

It will take a couple of days for all of the sand to settle out. You are running the return pump, correct? You could use a filter sock on the sump inlet to catch some of the larger particles, but not necessary if you don't mind waiting for it to do it on its own.

 

Today is the 3rd day water and sand have been in it. Thought it should be clear by now. Thanks, maybe I will buy a filter sock and see if that helps.
