Nice set up. I like the wire management. What lights are you using?

Thanks, I probably should have listed my equipment. They are Radion XR 30 G5 Blues.

Really like your initial rockscape. I think this will be a nice view and plenty of swim space and lanes. I have two kids, a 90 Lagoon and a 180, and have nothing but great things to say about their fit and finish, and utility of their stands. Looking forward to seeing this with water in it. Congrats

Thanks, you have a couple of really nice looking tanks. Hopefully I can be there in a year or so.

As you cycle this tank, what is your vision for live stock? Are you operating a Caribbean mixed garden lagoon or a high energy SPS dominate reef?

With respect to your question on how long does it take to get thru the ugly cycle; it depends on the diversity in your system. Nature will fill a vacuum. Every cubic inch in your ecosystem will be filled by something. Its your job to direct this course of action.

Thanks for your reply, I'm going in the direction of an SPS dominant reef. I've tried to avoid live rock due to unwanted pests and the tank came with the dry rock in the package.
