    tank build update

    hey just a tank update. so i got my skimmer and learned a valuable lesson on rushing silicon to dry in my sump. have to redo it all, oh well i guess i will take my time on it. hoping to have water in it this weekend, if work will allow it :). thanks for looking going to do some research on led lights as well. i got my pump for my return 1200gph. I also just had my tank taken to get it drilled. didn't dare to drill it myself. so hopefully get it back tomorrow and can plumb it by friday, so i can start filling this weekend.

    Just a little update. Tank is all cleared up everything looking awesome. I have not had any cycle really start not to sure why!?! I think I need to build a canopy because I get dead flying critters That try and swim. I imagine that can't be good for the tank?I will keep you posted

    just another update

    Hey there folks. So I got the rest of my base rock from reef cleaners today I ordered more than I needed. I am pretty impressed with the quality of rock. So the tank is cloudy again but should be cleared up by tomorrow. Thanks For looking.
