My custom sump is 30Ã—20Ã—14 and is about 38gal fits like a glove.lol I got everything up and running over the weekend salinity set at 1.024 gonna let it mix for a week while I am out of town for work and I will get it up to 1.026 when I get back home. I forgot to take pics of everything up and running , just ran out of time before I had to leave. When I get home I will get some pics up.

Played around with the skimmer for a minute and it was plugged in for a few minutes and me just playing this is what I got out of the beast. It's unplugged now was bored and wanted to play and to my amazement a skimmer straight out of the box was pulling crud.

Thank you can't wait to see it in full on action.

Of course you have a skimmer pulling crud! Sand and rock plus salt mix waste, it's improbable that they are all sterile!

Even covered in crap, that's still one sexy skimmer! B-)

Skimmer is sexy but even sexier sitting in that white sump.=)

Talking with my wife trying to get a fish list together now. Still a few months away from being able to add fish but I like to plan ahead on everything.

Stop teasing us already! Put in the first damsel! lol! Taking your time will definitely make this tank mature properly! It is time for some form of update though!

I will never put a damsel in my tank again then they get mean and I go spear fishing in the house. Lol I just like to let nature take its course. Once I see the ammonia levels start dropping I will likely add 5-6 blue green chromis. That should take me to the end of cycle then to add some nicer fish.
