    Thanks Steve. I only hope I can live up to some of the other great aquascapes that others have made in their tanks.

    That is a good question. I plan on timing it so I can see what the gallon per day really is on my RO/DI setup. I can't remember but I thing it is a 75 gallon per day setup. And if that is the case 3 approximately 3 days since rock and sand with take away some of the water volume.

    My oceans motions 8-way arrived today and I did a little plumbing work. I feel like I am in over my head. I just panic about something leaking. I am dry fitting most of the plumbing first. If it looks good then I will glue it and do a water test.

    I would check into having about 200 gallons of salt water delivered and weigh the difference in cost to the crystals. Just my opinion.
