    Finished most of the plumbing.

    Kinda messed around with different aquascape. Decided to go with this one.

    Started cooking my dry rock. Seeded it with two small LR from my Solana. Skimmer is so quiet!!

    Welded the light hanger. Came out pretty clean for my first welding project. I just need to sand it and paint it.

    Thanks.. This is my first real build. All my other set ups I bought everything aleady built.

    I thought the hanger will look a bit tacky since its copper but it came out better than I thought. I sanded a little portion of it and I just might sanded it and clear coat it because I like the look so much.

    I woke up this morning and the skimmer was going crazy in my bin. So, I turned it off and I'll have to fine tune it when I get back home from work.

    Mini update

    Took down my Solana 34 last night and moved all the livestock in to a 15G bin with powerhead ac70 and a heater. I decided to paint the hanger black. Started mixing fresh SW for the new tank.

    Pics to come when I get home from work.

    Thanks, it was alot of work welding, sanding, and painting the light hanger but well worth it.

    It's taking forever with my 75GPD rodi. Only half way filled, I've been at it for 5 hours. lol
