55g reef, Week 3

oiliaN · Nov 11, 2014

So I'm about 3 weeks into my journey of starting a reef tank. After a lot of time, and a lot more money, I think I've started to level out on expenses. I have more live sand and rock coming to finish the display and a refugium along with Chaeto and other micros.My question for you is; am I missing anything?

I had a leak under one of the buckets, so I had to switch up the sump.

First stock comes tomorrow.:wink:

Nice plumbing! I must say the brick background looks solid! Very cool,you won't have to worry about salt creep damaging the wall.

I was lucky enough that the house I bought had a fireplace that had to be removed because of some lame law. Lol, but when life hands you lemons, add a fish tank.

i didn't see a heater? Looks good, i dont want to tell you how to setup your reef put i would open up your rock work to discourage detritus build up.Also i would take the sand out of your refugium, nitrate trap waiting to happen.let me know what you think
