Thank you lots of planning and thoughts too keep it clean and future proof.

T5 installed. Next will be the kessils. But the kids woke up from nap.

Jakels5253 · Nov 9, 2022

Added the kessils and turned it all on. I think I'm going to like this setup. Have to see where the par levels are at to find out for sure. Pretty much setup. Now if the cycle would hurry up and my skimmer to break in. Then I can add my first fish. Waiting sucks...

Just popped in to join the chorus on complementing that plumbing job, and I also like the scape! I'll be watching this one for inspiration, so please keep sharing the details!

Again thank you and everyone for the compliments. I'm super excited and proud of the build.

My current tank is finally hitting a groove and growing like crazy. The coral are ready to bust outta there.

Nice tank, I am currently build the same tank and I'm super excited. It's going to replace my existing 45 gallon tank that I am resetting after 5 years. I already have the stand built and the tank in place but waiting on some plumbing pieces to come in. I also decided to go with the Fiji sump but went with the 24in one instead.

Where you get the lid from, I got mine from toplids, just curious.

If I have had the choice I would have went bigger with the sump. I would have tried to find one to fill most of the space down underneath. Just more space, to be easier theoretically for maintenance.

I have egg crate right now. I hate it but the tank is cycling so it doesn't matter. Keeps the cats out. At some point I'll order something. I am leaning towards Reefing Ain't Ezy lid.

Dave Dumanski · Nov 21, 2022

I also wanted to go bigger because I would like to eventually go with a roller mat system. Will have to wait and see if the ones fiji are making to go with these sumps are worth it or not?
