Cant wait. Being new myself (7months ) ive made huge crucial mistakes like going too fast. Research everything and.tank your time 6 weeks min for your tank to cycle. Dont rush.it ! And best advice i got from here. Dont do what others want or like to be cool. Do what you want to do. Imma follow.this thread cant wait to see progress

Thanks ill keep it updated my sump had been soaking in saltwater for a couple days to get anything bad out the silicone since i used 100% not sure if it was aquarium safe just a precaution. After that its a practice run before my saltwater goes in
