So folks. Tank is up. I water tested it for 24 hr no leaks no cracks. Next on to buying rock. For those in LA area , ellis aquatics selling dry/live rock for 2.50 its unheard price. But did anyone was able to build shelf like scape ?
Im 1hr 30 min away and im not sure how ti properly cement live rock without killing life on it by it siting outside of water to cure.

Glad it passed the leak test!

I have seen a couple of shelf-like scapes on here, and honestly, I like them. It gives you plenty of room for coral to grow.

Folk. Im getting there, small update on a tank.
Trying to figure out how to hide cables. Did anyone used maxspcet 350 on this type of tank ? Magnet feel weak tbh. Googling says itcwill be fine when i fill up water due ti pressure but im not sure.

I will be living precariously through you as I wait for my tank to arrive i'm currently debating kalk stirrer, OR(and this is very likely) a calcium reactor as my tanks going to be almost exclusively acropora. Can't wait to see some pictures! Its nice to have ugly phase pictures to look back on a year later and appreciate the progress!

Isnt cal reactor drops ph ? My tank is in garage/office so fresh air is not an issue. I was thinking about it too but my load is light so im manually dosing 20 ml red sea alk daily and 600 ml kalk but i will start dosing alk with hydros soon.
