Cmcnair663's new 56 gal

[Cmcnair663]

Hey all. Just signed up on the forums the other day and so far you guys have been a ton of help with setting up my new tank.
So far I have the tank set up and have begun the cycling process. I'm currently working on my DIY 10 gal sump with the help of you all and hope to have it up and running by next week when all my plumbing arrives. View attachment image.jpg View attachment image.jpg

Here it is so far with just water and rocks. So excited to finish cycling and get some fish and coral in it.

So I saw this guy hanging out on one of my rocks and thought it was cool.
