Greetings!


Well everything showed up today but the LED's and the live rock. The live rock shows up tomorrow and the LED's ship tomorrow. This will be a mixed reef, with unknown inhabitants as of right now. Going to place the dry rock within the next hour, and than start filling it up with RODI water.

Can you move the sump over and make the drain hose shorter and just do a strait shot into the sump? I don't think it will work how you have it currently, you'll get lots of noise.
 
After fixing some drain leaks, and long hours my tank is finally cycling. Everything is up and running, now the testing/waiting game!

Aquascapeing done (For Now), I am sure I will change it a little before I add anything again, maybe not. Got enough clearance from the glass to clean, lots of nooks and caves for fish, Its half live and half dry rock. It looks better in person:)
 
Hopefully my lights show up today, than I can mount them, clean up the cords a little and just wait:)
How long into the cycle should I wait to do a water change?
 
Thanks! Pretty Bare-Bones ATM! But I have time to add on and play with it a bit. Just checked all my levels last night, AMM/Nitrate/Nitrite all spiking. Water temp hovering in the 78's. Salinity 1.025. LED's still haven't shown up, but I am guessing monday. I am thinking about adding a BRS mesh screen for the top, still debating. I plan on having some "missle" fish, so it is most likely a good idea.
 
Looking good! I would wait about 3 weeks to a month before thinking of adding anything, let it get good and cycled.
 
Looking good! How come u didn't paint the back? U like the clear look?
