    One more...sorry...did you use 1/4 glass for the panels in your sump? And did you have the edges rounded?

    Yeah, 1/4" glass. I didn't have them do anything special to the edges, but they ran a grinder across 'em or something so they aren't sharp.

    Looking really awesome! Its always bad ass when you can modify your house to fit your aquarium's needs! Looks like you have water changes and sump/fuge all planned out so you won't have to lift a bucket ever again! Very impressive build so far! I advise once its time to fill the tank with animals, take your time and purchase premium livestock. Aqua-cultured corals or tank bred fish. Having such a nice system merits even nicer critters and corals!

    ;DWe're officially cycling!;D

    We have a total system volume of ~130 gallons. Using Red Sea Coral Pro salt mixed to a SG of 1.025.

    Tested 0 for nitrate nitrite and ammonia. We're using Fritz Zyme 9 that Marco sent along with the rocks. It said to use 1t per 100 gallons of ammonium chloride to bring ammonia to 4ppm. I added the teaspoon and it spiked at 6 so we definitely have ammonia going. Poured in the whole bottle - it says it treats up to 40g - we'll see how fast this goes... Will keep you posted. Will get some pics up of the scape as soon as the water clears up.
