Hey everyone! excited to be getting into the salt water hobby. I’ll be posting pictures throughout my build.
I’m going to be moving my tank into its own fish room against the partitioned wall and cutting out a picture frame so it’s visible in my living area.
It’s up against the wall near a window also directly under a vent. I can’t get to the backside of the tank to clean the glass and the heat from the vent changes the water temperature whenever my furnace kicks in. I could close the vent but I’d rather just move the tank into its permanent spot.
Once I get it moved to the appropriate spot I’ll remove the canopy and hang lights from the ceiling in the fish room.
Currently running a fluval 405 for filteration but plan on getting a sump system. I run water changes regularly.
One wave maker but plan on getting a couple more and hooking up to a controller.
I have an RO system. I’ve prepared a line equipped with a shut off valve ( in case I need to work on the line) which will feed my RO machine. From my RO machine il gonna have drinkable water that’s a bit more alkalized and also will be producing RO for the tank.
I plan on having an top off valve directly into the tank as well as from my pre mixed 55 gallons so It’s easier to move water.
Here are some more pictures of my tank it’s already cycled and has been up for few months.
Any replies or comments are greatly appreciated. I’m a noob at the hobby figured this would be a great place to document my journey as well as gain knowledge.
Thanks everyone.
