Time line of my setup pics

[banjowalker]

Here is the final watertest after resealing my first tank!<br />

reseal went great, here is the shelving unit and light mounts I made for the tank<br />

<br />

Final setup on the shelve. Little deco so the girlfriend is happy <br />

<br />

Nice pic of the lighting units. Reef breeders super luxe x 2<br />

<br />

Full setup and base rock in place<br />

<br />

Mixing first batch of salt ever. I know I'm dumb to be excited lol<br />

Redoing sump and it decided to break so used another 20 long <br />
That is a little time line of where I'm currently at with pictures!<br/>

It's no biggie. I figure accidents will happen. I will be using sand. I have about 120 lbs of sand

Slowly but surely my ordered items are trickling in

Thanks! The scape took a while to decide. There will be more live rock on top of it but I like it alot

Per suggestion from everyone, finally got my refractometer and a little diy project for a coral feeder.

Mail call! Pumped

Got everything I need now!

Sump set up

 

[banjowalker]

Put the new rw8 and a koralia in the DT.

 

[banjowalker]

Added everything to the tank and turned everything on just to find out I need about 1 gallon more for it to run smoothly. Making RODI water as we speak. [emoji36]

[banjowalker]

Excuse the sandstorm water, but everything is running very smoothly now.

Yep 75 drilled with a 20 long sump

Removed the old sand. It was just too fine and I couldn't see any progression. This is only one night after removal.

 

[banjowalker]

Water clearing up!

 

[Zero Nitrates]

It will be clear in not time.
