Thanks Joe, it's been slow going. The same day the tank arrived I had hip replacement surgery! So that set me back quit a bit. I'm finally up an running and wanted to start a build thread.

wow...

well, setting up a tank is good therapy for sure. Hope you are feeling better.

Plumbing, although I received a sump with the tank I went with a Bashsea pro series sump. It has more room for a filter roller.

 

[hubble]

Came out pretty good............

 

[hubble]

Not a whole lot of room but I think I can squeeze most equipment in cabinet

Still looks nice and organized even with the limited space!

Thanks, still more to add so the wire management may not look the best.

To start the bio filter I added ceramic media from the sump of a LFS. It's been in his sump for like a year or so. I also added 5 Chromis. I ordered 80 LBS of live sand from Tampa Saltwater and it was suppose to be here next week but with the Southwest debacle shipping has now been pushed back to the end of January.........

Been working on the water station........

Received 80 LBS of live sand from Tampa Bay Live Rock and put it in. It's a little cloudy but cleared up in a day. The live sand is really nice and am glad I went with it. The Tank is still unlit, coming up on two months now.
