Guess I'll be THAT guy.....

Is it wet yet?

Actually got the sand in today. Got home late tonight and rinsed all of it. It's in the tank and I'm just about ready.

Matt, I was just thinking the other day, if this specific tank could be drilled, now I know the answer! I can't wait to get one

All the deep blue rimless can be drilled but here is what you have to look out for. The ones that are reef ready have the bottom tempered so you can only drill the sides but If you buy the non drilled version you can drill the bottom

Sweet. Now we're getting somewhere. I think I missed this but did you tear down your reef savvy cube? I just read thru it and it was truly a masterpiece.

Yeah it's for sale currently. Thanks for the comment.

Its full and the pump is running. Everything looks good right now.

Think Im going to adjust the plumbing in the sump to lower the level of water. May do hard plumbing for the sump. Sorry about the bad cell phone pics

Did you mix salt water in the tank or outside? When I filled up my deep blue 80, I mistakenly mixed salt in tank (without much salt mixing experience prior) - added too much at once and all if it precipitated and never recovered. Had to empty the whole thing and start over. Big lesson learned.
