Remember when our teachers told us we couldn’t use calculators because we wouldn’t be walking around with them? Ha!

Little did they know what we know now.

I think I just got an amazing deal from a friend on some nice lights. I got two of the first lights and one of the second one for $350. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reef...UshM0NPRLBTyTuQYcbyZNayU3j9qMEPDYwtie7E0X_oQ0

And here is a picture of my sump and hard plumbing that my husband and stepson put in today. Let's hope nothing leaks when we start it up tomorrow!

Planning lots of them once I know the tank is safe. I really liked the tiny clownfish they had and the Goby even though I'm not 100% sure what kind he was. He was very curious and seemed like he was watching me as I watched him.

And we are up and running!!! Should I add more water to the sump? Is it suppose to come up to the socks?

I can't tell from the video on your sump. How deep is the water? Around 8"?

Your aquarium is huge, I love the aqua scape. A lot of sand for wrasses. For the sump I agree we don't see much the flow.

I have two power heads should I get a bigger one? One has two heads the others only has one.

 

[Calmwaters]

I just added 3 more gallons of freshwater because the salt was at 1.03.
