    Sand is in. Mixing salt as a type. Getting closer! Starting to plan out my stocking list. Saw this beauty at my LFS on fri.
    White Banded Possum Wrasse. I will have one waiting for me once my cycle is complete. This wrasse is insane!

    I figure while I am waiting on my water and cycle to end it will give me some time to make an anti-fish-jump screen. Searched some threads on this site and got some good cheap ideas.

    I had to bite the bullet and buy some egg crate for my lid. having a bowfront seems to limit me on using the screen edging...

    Ok, getting my old sump/fuge together and I have a quick question. Where should I run my carbon reactor? I have from tank/skimmer chamber, fuge, and return. I was thinking of putting the reactor in the return chamber with the pump in the skimmer chamber and the return line in the return chamber. Sound about right?

    Where the pump is at for the reactor is really no big deal, just as long as the "waste" line of the reactor is in the skimmer section.

    I have water! The tank and sump/fuge are filled and everything is running well (the overflow is a little noisey, but that's another thread). Let the cycle begin!
