    Ok I looked it up, they will not live, as I figured. I'm not trying to deal with salt. It's still neat tho. ;)

    I finally finished my DIY stand for my 75g with 40g sump, it is stained and in the house. Last night finished filling it with water from my Spectrapure system, took almost two days to do this.

    Added my sand, salt and rock. Checked sump levels plugged everything in and worried all night about leaks.

    Agenda tonight, buy two raw shrimp and throw them in, and hook up my ATO.

    I tested my water parameters again, Moved a piece of Rock to my QT to get seeded with bacteria. Added a cup of sand from a nearby reefers tank to help seed my DT. Cleaned the hood on my QT, and broke a light :(.

    QT Ammonia .25ppm/Nitrite 1.5ppm
    DT Ammonia 3ppm/Nitrite 0ppm
