55g build

[messiah35]

Here goes nothing.....

I bought this 55 a couple years back. Dragged it out of the garage a few days ago and I'm ready to dive in.

Here's what I've got so far....




estarting this thread with the proper size.

Dropped the filter of at my lfs. The owner is making some modifications for a submersible pump

What kind on mods are being made by the LFS? I also resurrected a 55g from 15 yrs. ago ~ 1yr. ago (if that makes sense).

Plugging up the return. Drilling a hole through the top so I can run a submersible. Swapping out the filter media for bio balls. New venturi pump.

While I'm waiting fir the RO unit to make my water I'm aquascaping. Obviously I need more rocks, but you get the picture.

Also ordered the lights yesterday. Photon48 from Reef Breeders.

I was looking at one of those CPR skimmer/filters a long time ago. Just curious how tall is it?
